Housing advice

Need help and advice with where you live? Whether it is dealing with Anti-Social Behaviour, finding out what we can do to help you if you are homeless, or providing information on traveller sites, we offer a wide range of help and support. More information on a range of housing and housing-related issues can be found here.

Anti-Social Behaviour

Anti-Social behaviour can affect anybody. Living in your own home without feeling threatened or being subject to noise nuisance is something we want every one of our tenants to be able to enjoy.  Loud music, barking dogs, and unreasonable behaviour are all anti-social and no-one should have to suffer from them. The Council does take this issue very seriously and will be keen to work with you to tackle any problems you may have.

Travellers Site

The Council owns and manages a permanent site for Gypsies and Travellers, known as the Oak Lane Traveller Site, Kingswinford.

The site contains 19 pitches for caravans, 18 of which are for rent with the remaining pitch being occupied by a full time residential warden.

Asylum Seekers

Dudley has a relatively small number of Asylum Seekers housed in the borough. The Council takes direction on this issue from the United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA), part of the Home Office. Central government has a policy of dispersing Asylum Seekers away from London and the South-East and Dudley plays its part in this.

Poor housing conditions

Homelessness

There are many ways in which a person or their family can become homeless, often through no fault of their own. In Dudley, our aim is to prevent homelessness whenever possible, and to offer a range of housing options to people who are homeless or have other urgent housing needs.
