Help with relocating

Hi having tried all the universities in the South West to do my PGCE I have now applied to a London University.
If I get in I will need to move myself and two children into the London area. I think I can get housing benefit due to being a lone parent. Does anyone know of any help I can get to relocate? We are currently on our local councils homeless list due to being dropped in it from a great height by my ex. Would the council be able to speak to another council to house us?
Please anything you could think of would be great. I need to do this course in order to get out of this horrible situation and support my children.

    Don't forget that much of your student funding will be taken into account to assess you for LHA/HB.

    Unless you want to move to London permanently you might be better to apply again next year, rather than to disrupt your children's education.

    What level/subject are you wanting to teach?
