Hostels and night shelters

There are no night shelters or direct access hostels in the Lichfield District. The nearest hostels are in Birmingham and Derby.

Most will accept people without any money, as long as you can claim benefits to pay for the accommodation.

The team can check what you are entitled to and help you with claim forms. Housing benefit may not cover all the rent, and won’t cover any extra services such as cleaning or meals, so you may have to use part of your income support, jobseekers allowance or a training allowance to pay for anything that isn’t covered.

If you are a young person, visit our section about hostels and accommodation for younger people.
