Priority need

Mental illness or impairment

If you are homeless, or threatened with homelessness in the next 8 weeks, you can make a homeless application online by visiting our Lichfield District Homes page and choosing the register as homeless or at threat of homelessness within 56 days button.

If you are already homeless then you may well be entitled to temporary accommodation if your illness or mental health issue is considered severe enough that you are judged to be vulnerable and in priority need. Visit the Shelter website to find out what this means.

In order to make that judgement we will make every effort to work with you and any other agencies that may be supporting you or advocating for you so we can fully understand how we can help you.

If you are currently in hospital as a result of your mental health and awaiting discharge, find out more for people awaiting discharge.
