Housing and Homelessness

Please note that this service is only available to young people with a connection to the Colchester Borough.

Being homeless and having difficulties with housing is a massive strain and worry, which can affect all aspects of your life. If you are experiencing housing and homelessness difficulties, we can help you.

We will meet with you to discuss your situation and give you information regarding your rights. We will also do our best to support you through the whole process of obtaining accommodation or sustaining your existing housing.

y.e.s. does not provide accommodation but we work closely with many supported housing projects and providers and will support you in trying to get you housed.
