How is the service responding to Coronavirus?

Housing Options is operating a telephone based service for all customers, including those that have nowhere to stay on the night. To access this service, customers will need to telephone 01274 435999 where a telephone assessment will be arranged. Free phones can still be accessed from Britannia House Customer Service Centre and Keighley Town Hall. These should only be used where there is no alternative.
