Autism & housing?

If you’re in England, there is not a point system at all. 
There is five tests of homelessness.. 

Being able to evidence your homeless 

Being eligible for assistance 

Having a priority need (which looks at how vulnerable you are) 

whether you have done anything to make yourself intentionally homeless 

whether you have a local connection to that area. 

if you were served a no fault eviction and the landlord will confirm there were no issues with you as a tenant you wouldn’t be intentionally homeless. The most complicated test is the priority need. If you’re a British citizen your eligible, if you have lived in the authority for 6 out of the last 12 years or 3 out of the last five then you have a local connection to that area (there other things that give you a local connection - close family members and employment). 

priority need looks at your vulnerabilities and how well you would cope as street homeless in comparison to a person with no health concerns. So autism won’t give you an automatic priority need, you would have to be able to demonstrate and evidence how it makes your more vulnerable. 

we are in a massive housing crisis so this is a huge lack of social\council housing and affordable PRS properties.

good luck with it :) the first step is approaching your local authority but go armed with all the evidence

for council housing there is a points system.

for declaring homeless, no.... to get a council house... yes... but you have to also bid for the council house so it doesnt stop at points, you have to apply for each individual house that comes up you dont get placed you have to bid for each and every house that comes on the list..

experience; i have been on the council house list twice for wigan, and once for bolton.... think i might still have one of the points sheets somewhere, they send them out every year i think. might have binned it though but it gives you all the points and what you can score points on and over a certain amount of points you get banded into different categories.... probably A B and C if i remember correct
