Telford and Wrekin Council recognises that housing should not be a barrier to providing safe and stable care for children in kinship arrangements.

If a kinship carer is living in accommodation that is unsuitable such as a property that is too small or lacks necessary facilities, support is available to explore alternative housing options.

Through the Council’s Housing Solutions service, kinship carers can access advice and guidance tailored to their circumstances. This may include support with applying for more suitable accommodation, understanding housing rights, or being signposted to relevant services. While housing availability may vary, the Council is committed to working with kinship families to identify appropriate solutions wherever possible.
