As one of the visitors to the drop in commented:
“I have been to various places to get help around my housing issue, but have never received much support of help form anyone. This drop in is great as everyone is so helpful and it is useful to be able to speak to different agencies at once, as this has helped me to understand what I need to do next and given me a more ‘whole’ response. Everyone has been really friendly, supportive and it has really helped me ,much more than any other place I have visited.”- The Housing and Advice drop in includes Housing Officers and Welfare Officers from Acton Housing, City West Homes and PCHA, Octavia, Stadium alongside information around transfers and allocations from Westminsters’ Housing Options Service/ choice based letting.
