Furlough for agency workers ????

Hi,
I currently work for a agency, I can't get a clear answer to if I can be put on a furlough. I've had to self isolate as I live with my parents and my father and he has chronic myeloid leukemia so is in the high risk category. I use public transport to get to and from work and we decided its to much of a risk to travel for work. I have tried to claim Universal credit but I can't claim anything as I live with them and give them a 1/3 of my wage for board which they rely on as they are retired and this doesn't give you any options due to me not having a contract with them.

Agency workers qualify for the coronavirus job retention scheme but ultimately it will be down to the agency on whether they want to furlough you or not to get this.1
