Many people in Brighton & Hove experience problems with housing and accomodation and
there can be particular issues for LGBT people. From finding an LGBT friendly flat-share
to dealing with homophobia, bi-phobia or transphobia in your neighbourhood - if you have
questions or concerns about your housing then you are not alone. Local research shows that
the problems experienced by LGBT people can be pressing and in extreme cases can result
in people sofa-surfing, using sex to secure somewhere to stay or having nowhere to go.

Whether you are moving to Brighton, coming-out, preparing to transition or simply looking
for support to find new housing or accommodation within the area, we can help you. Our
helpline operators are available to listen to your concerns and provide you with information
on the practical aspects of finding a new home or relocating to the city. We are also aware
of the particular concerns that older LGBT people can experience in relation to home-care
or entering supported accommodation and we can offer a listening ear and an opportunity to
talk.

Everyone is entitled to have a safe place to call home - Switchboard can help you find yours.
