Shelters in glasgow?

A friend of mine is in dire need of a place to stay. Does anyone know of any shelters in Paisley?

Sorry, I don't know what section to put this in

I just cut and pasted this from Renfrewshire Council's website. I hope it includes information which will help you and your friend:

*The Council's housing advice and homeless services are based in Mirren Chambers, 41 Gauze Street, Paisley, PA1 1EX.

If you are homeless, threatened with homelessness, or need advice about your rights in privately rented accommodation, we can help.

The type of advice and information we give you will depend on your individual circumstances, for example:

if you are homeless or threatened with homelessness, we can consider a homeless application
we can provide information to help you apply for housing through the council, housing associations or the private sector
we can provide information on tenants’ and landlords’ rights and responsibilities
we can provide information leaflets which give advice on harassment and illegal eviction if you are renting from a landlord
we can provide information about specialist agencies who offer their services:

Sorry - it won't include the emails but you can find them on the Council website if necessary.

Glasgow... please. Edinburgh is a much nicer - and let me say this clearly SAFER place to find a location

Thank you for that scottishchris, but money is definately a problem and it's a matter of urgency.
