Do I have a local connection ?
We will also look to see if you have a local connection with this area. A local connection could be made if you:
- Have lived in Gwynedd for 6 out of the last 12 months or 3 out of the last 5 years
- Have close family, for example, mother, father, adult children and sibiling who have lived in the county for the last 5 years
- Have employment in the county
- Have special circumstances, for example, specialist medical treatment only available in Gwynedd
- You are fleeing violence or threats of violence
If we cannot establish that you have a local connection with this area, but we can make a connection with another local authority area then we will refer you to that local authority.
If you do not have a connection with any other area in the UK, we have a duty to help you providing you meet the homelessness criteria.
