Armed Forces

Stockport Homes Group is able to provide advice and assistance to current and former members of the armed forces in these areas:

  • Homelessness

    If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness then call our Housing Options Team on 0161 217 6016 to discuss your situation or arrange a private interview. You can also e-mail us at housing.options@stockporthomes.org or drop in to our main office at Cornerstone , Monday to Friday from 1pm to 4pm.

    The Team are aware of the difficulties that current and former members of the armed forces and their families can face in finding somewhere to live, and can work with you to come up with a personalised housing plan. They also have details of the range of services and charities who work with the armed forces, and can make referrals and ensure you get all the help you need.

    More details of our Housing Options Team and what to do if you are homeless are available here.

  • Renting a home in the social or private sector

    Stockport has a shortage of available housing to rent, but we offer all current and former members of the armed forces and their families a one-one interview to talk through options that are available. Help with deposits and rent in advance for properties can also be provided in some circumstances, and support in applying for accommodation.

    To book an appointment with our Housing Options Team, call us on 0161 217 6016 or e-mail us at housing.options@stockporthomes.org.
