CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
Many local councils in Wales are working to provide accommodation and support during the coronavirus pandemic to people who are sleeping rough.
If you need somewhere to stay in an emergency you should contact your local council as soon as you can. Find contact details for your local council here.
The council should help you make a homelessness application and, if you are sleeping rough, or at risk of finding yourself on the street, the council should give you emergency accommodation. This is because coronavirus can spread very easily and if you are sleeping on the streets it is very difficult for you to keep to the government health advice for hygiene, self-isolation and social distancing.
If you are in this situation and the council says it cannot help you, get advice from Shelter Cymru straight away.
If you are given emergency accommodation or are already living in emergency accommodation, you will be expected to stick to the rules the Welsh Government has set to prevent coronavirus spreading.
