Temporary Housing
Finding temporary housing
If you can't find a permanent place to stay, you'll need temporary accommodation. This can mean B&Bs, bedsits and hostels - some of them run by local councils.

5 Things u need2know
- If you are unable to find permanent accommodation, some local authorities may pay towards you staying in a hotel.
- B&B rooms are usually very small, so if you have a lot of stuff, this may not be a good option for you.
- Owners of B&Bs don't normally like to have guests hang around during the day and you may find that there are set times when you are not allowed to be on the premises.
- Bedsits are usually available for relatively short-term lets and tend to be quite cheap.
- Youth hostels are not just for backpackers staying for one night only, and are usually happy to accommodate residents for much longer periods.
