council home worry

Posts: 1 Newbie
hello everyone, ive been watching the forums for some time and i have always come here for my problems, so i thought i would join up.
im part of a housing association and have been homeless earlier in the year, i was recently placed in a home and have been put on the list of my local council which should hopefully place me somewhere at some point
the issue i have is i want to move in with my partner and her family who i have recently joined. i wanted to know if there was something i could do to let them join me in my council home when i eventually get it?
i understand she is renting and i have a opportunity for a permanent home as being homeless has sort of scarred me.
any kind of help would be appreciated. and am thankful for anything you can tell me

This sounds like an abuse of the system. Surely it should be the other way around - you move in with your partner as she seems to be able to afford the rent? By attempting to get her to move in with you, you're depriving someone else of a potential home who was in a similar situation to you.0

If you have applied as a single person for housing, that's exactly what you would get. A single residence.
You certainly wouldnt get a family home.
Why not just move in wiht the family and split the rent etc in the private home and leave the subsidised one for someome one who really needs it.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
If she already has a home, rented or otherwise, and you move in, you will no longer be homeless and no longer on the council list.
If you wait for a council home to be allocated to you (could take some time as a single person is never a high priority), you will get a 1 bed flat or the minimum size property they have.
You can't have both!0 -
Welcome but sorry to hear you have had a tough time.
Either apply for council housing as a family unit or move in with your partner where he/ she is. If you are eligible for social housing as a single person that is likely because you are seen as vulnerable, your partner can't be vulnerable by association. Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0
