Homeless - leaving prison or youth detention

Housing advice for people leaving prison or detention

If you are leaving prison the prison service have a “duty to refer.”  This means that if they believe you are going to become homeless they should ask you if you wish to be referred to a local authority. If you wish to be referred to North West Leicestershire then you should ask them to make a referral by using the following link.
