Accommodation for the homeless

We use a range of temporary accommodation across York. Some is owned and managed by the council, some is run by voluntary organisations, charities or the private sector. The accommodation we find you depends on your circumstances and what's available at the time.

To find the right accommodation for you look under the heading that best describes your circumstances ('child/ren' means one or more child aged under 16, or under 19 if in full time education or training. The children must live with you - not just visit).
