What to do if you are faced with immediate homelessness?
If you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, PCC Housing Department and Pembrokeshire Care Society can assist you with free and impartial advice and assistance.
Out of Hours:
If you are unable to access our services due to it being out of hours and you are faced with the possibility of sleeping rough, approach your local Police Station for assistance for one of our Emergency Packs.
Items in these Emergency Packs will help you during an immediate crisis, until you are able to contact either PCC Housing Department or Pembrokeshire Care Society.
Before issuing a pack, a Police Officer will need to take your name and contact details, which will allow us to contact you during the next working day if you are unable to attend our offices, where a duty worker will be available.
