What if you're made homeless whilst on ESA?

Will you be given any support to find a new home? If for example I am kicked out by my parents would they help my afford the rent of a new home?

If you present yourself to your local council as homeless they may have hostel accommodation as a temporary measure.
Help with rent for private rental will depend on the other benefits you receive. If you are under 35 you would get the shared accommodation rate of LHA or you receive DLA/PIP you may get the one bedroom rate.
You can search on LHA rates for your area on the web (they are the lowest 30% of rents for the area) then the next challenge is to find a landlord who will accept benefits (many don't as their mortgage or insurance companies may prohibit it) do you have a deposit?0
