chickgettingthere

Ive been on the council list for 6 months now as i could seme and my partner deteriating im on 1 housing list as i cant get on any others as there always closed.

Its at the point now where i need to go but where to council want me on the streets before they will help and ive been offered nothing from the housing i have 2 children as well.

My other option is to rent private but i probably cant afford that eveything i look at is nearly 500.00 i do wk full time but ive got quite a few debts as well

Any advise pleaseeeeee

Where are you living now?

If you do become homeless the council will be obliged to house you with 2 kids. The downside is that it could well be in emergency accom initially. Only you can decide whether it is worth surviving emergency accom to get a council home of your own.

The other option is to rent privately and see what benefits you may be entitled to.

Have you contacted Shelter? They may have specialist knowledge in your local area. They can help preventyou being homeless as well as helping those who are.

there may well be some sort of bond board which you local council private housing office will know about, which could help with the deposit for a new place. are you claiming Family tax credit ?

Im living in my ex partners house still as we have a child together he has agreed i can stay there until i find somewhere its not that easy especially when i no hes goin behind my back meeting someone else its tearing me apart being there and then he acts so nice in front of me

Another problem i face ok i can go to the council and say im homeless then my fear is if they stick me on this estate which is notorious my son would be in bits as he got bullied from a lad who lives on this est and it was that bad he got permantly excluded.

I just dont know what to do???/
