The Housing Services Department provides a range of housing advice and services to the people of Worthing.

There continues to be a severe shortage of homes in the area, in both social and private sector housing, especially for small families and we therefore take a proactive approach to dealing with housing problems.

Our Housing Team is committed to helping prevent or resolve threatened homelessness. All available options will be explored to enable resolution to housing difficulties. We also aim to provide choice, advice and support regarding how people can solve their own housing need.
