If you are concerned for the safety or wellbeing of a child or adult, you can contact our social care service on 0161 234 5001.

If you are calling to report an emergency that is an immediate risk to public safety, please call 0161 223 7222.

The housing advice service and homelessness reception centre are currently closed

If you have any form of accommodation in which you can remain it is essential that you stay where you are and do not access these services. 

During this extremely challenging period services are especially busy, remaining accommodation is scarce and prioritised for those in acute need.

If you believe you have nowhere to stay immediately you should call 0161 234 4692 or email hss@manchester.gov.uk.

We will deal with your enquiry as quickly as we can, but we can't provide a face to face service at this time.

Staff are available to take calls between 10am and 1am (Sunday to Thursday), and 10am to 4.30am (Friday and Saturday)

After 6pm you can report emergency noise or premises trading issues that cause an immediate risk to public safety on 0161 223 7222.
