Other information

For more information about emergency accommodation please see the Shelter Scotland website.

None of the emergency accommodation is free, so if you have no money at all, you may need to try and access Discretionary Funding, Hardship Fund or a Crisis Loan from Financial Aid, or speak with the SRC Advice Centre for further advice.

If it is out of hours you can call the University Gatehouse Crisis Team on 0141 330 4444 and ask for help.
