COPELAND Council’s Housing team prevented 143 households from becoming homeless in the last year, new figures reveal.
More than 500 people sought the council’s advice on housing matters in 2018/19, and the team also helped secure alternative accommodation for 184 individuals or families who had to leave their homes.
