At Lichfield District Council, we believe everyone deserves a safe, decent, and secure place to call home – no exceptions.
That’s why we’re doing things differently. We're buying and refreshing modern, good-quality temporary accommodation right across the district. Our vision is to prevent people in housing crisis from being left stuck in emergency B&Bs or moved miles away from their community.
Our temporary accommodation
If you’re staying in one of our temporary homes, it’s because something urgent has happened – and we’re here to help you through it. You’ll be supported by our housing team, who’ll work with you to find your next long-term home, whether that’s:
We’ll talk through the choices and help every step of the way.
Our temporary homes are let on licence and are meant to be safe, secure and comfortable stepping stone homes - to help you on your journey to a more permanent housing future.
Our housing pathway scheme properties
For people who’ve experienced rough sleeping, we also offer specialist accommodation through our Housing Pathway Scheme. These homes come with extra support and longer tenures to help you settle, recover, and move on to more permanent housing - when you’re ready.
All our homes are managed by Lichfield West Midlands Traded Services (LWMTS), who look after the buildings day-to-day and keep everything safe, working and well-maintained.
You focus on what matters. We’ll take care of the rest.
