How do I apply?
We accept referrals from Brighton and Hove City Council Housing Options team.
All support needs will be assessed before an application is accepted.
Please note that Brighton and Hove Foyer is not suitable accommodation for children under 16, and so we cannot accept referrals for people who have childcare responsibilities where the child would live with them. We are also unable to accept applications for young people who require a high level of supervision due to drug or alcohol misuse.
