Homelessness: Homeless now or rough sleeping

Temporary accommodation

Depending on your circumstances and eligibility, you may be offered temporary accommodation whilst we help you to find secure and permanent accommodation. 

Rotherham Council owns a limited number of temporary accommodation properties and there is a high demand for these, so you could be placed in a hotel or bed and breakfast instead, or until a temporary accommodation property becomes available. You may also be offered temporary accommodation outside of the area, depending on what availability we have. Rotherham Council charges a nightly charge for temporary accommodation which will be covered by Housing Benefits if you claim benefits.
