Maintenance Loan for college?

Hello!
I am going back to college at age 23, I am on the verge of becoming homeless, social housing aren't responding to me (been trying to contact them for 3 months now via phone calls and email). And I would like to ask, as searching online hasn't given me a clear answer, am I able to use Student Finance England for a level 3 course in college to get a Maintenance Loan? With that, I could afford student accommodation. I know I can get support with the overall course cost, but I don't know about income support. Thank you for possibly helping me with this

    you might get a better response by asking this question on The Student Room which has a whole board dedicated to student finance and SFE reps online quite a lot of the time.
