I know these people and they do a splendid job assisting our homeless.

There are no services available. The Council will register him for a place but that could take years. He can register with the DWP (using the DWPs address as his correspondence address ... but they wont tell you that )... there is a requirement for the council to provide accommodation (under the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol) but temperatures have to be forecast below zero for three consecutive nights. He should contact Crisis but they don't have an office in Manchester but can be contacted at their liverpool office on 0151 218 7000

Thanks for that. That is the general gist of what I am finding after all the calls I made. It does look like another homeless person will be added to the growing number. Christ it's frustrating.

Has he applied for Housing? He would be on the higher band if he can prove he has no fixed address. He needs to apply on manchestermove.co.uk assuming he is in Manchester. If not whatever his local council uses for lettings. In the meantime, again assuming in Manchester, he should go to Manchester town hall customer services (no appointment needed) and declare himself homeless. They would have a duty to find him temporary accommodation until he finds something more suitable.

He could also look on spareroom.com to see if he can be a lodger. If working he would pay himself but he would be entitled to HB if not. Again Town Hall can assist with HB claim and there are computers to use to process his claim.

I would also advise Shelter to assist him. They're on Samuel Ogden Street off Whitworth Street.

Thanks for that!
