Hostels in Birmingham and Derby
Hostels are usually designed to help people with specific needs such as:
- single young people
- people with drug or alcohol addictions
- people with mental health problems
- people from a particular cultural or religious background
- people who have been sleeping on the streets for a long time
People tend to stay in hostels as a stepping stone to become ready for independent living in either a social rented home or private rented home.

If you take up a licence at a hostel, please be aware you will no longer be considered homeless or threatened with homelessness, and as such you will no longer be entitled to an active housing register application. At the point at which you are ready to move on from the hostel to independent accommodation, you can reapply to the housing register.
