New Ways to Contact Housing – People most needing urgent housing help are being better prioritised with new points of contact and a triage system, with just one number and two email addresses, to make the service more efficient. 01305 221000 is the new single number for housing support. From here people can choose housing register (social housing), homelessness support or general housing advice. Two email addresses, one for the housing register: dorsetcouncilhomechoice@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk and one for housing advice and homelessness: housinghelp@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk, are now available. The existing addresses and phone numbers will be phased out gradually and all communication to them will be responded to.
