In Devon, it is the District and City Councils which manage local social housing and provide advice and support with finding a home, dealing with landlords and for anyone facing homelessness.

By law in the UK, your local council must provide you with emergency accommodation if you have a priority need. For example, if you are pregnant if you have a disability; if you are suffering from trauma because of your experiences
