York Housing Association understands that being homeless doesn’t always mean you’re sleeping rough.
We work in partnership with Scarborough Borough Council to provide accommodation for people who are without settled, safe or secure accommodation – you may be sofa surfing, threatened with eviction or where you’re living may be unsuitable for a variety of reasons.
What do we offer?
Accommodation services – this can be in a hostel, small shared houses or self-contained flats.
If you find yourself in that position the first thing you should do is contact Scarborough Borough Council Housing Options Team on 01723 232323.
