Housing Advice for Young People

This page gives information about housing for young people.

Leaving home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. It's not a good idea to rush into it or just leave on the spur of the moment. Ideally you should stay with your family until you can move out in a planned way. There a lot of things to think about before you leave home and we can help you to think things through.

Further information can be found in the leaflet Housing for Young People,

Housing Services offers 16 to 25 year olds advice about housing options and support. For further information telephone 01993 861158 or contact Housing Services.

If you would like to talk things over with someone, you can make an appointment at the Town Centre Shop in Witney, or you can phone us on 01993 861010.
