Council Housing and wellbeing.

Lost0ne87

I have to be honest I'm completely anxiety ridden and I am at loss in what to do. I am very worried and depressed and my meds not working.

I lived in a flat but I felt very isolated and lonely and moved back in with my mum and dad just over a year but my dad is a alcoholic. He can get very verbally abusive at times.

I would like to move in a suitable council flat as I am very vulnerable. I was told by my social worker that I was not peroity as I'm a single male under 50. I feel like no one is taking me seriously and I'm so lost.

I live in South Wales on band 2 told they can't put me into 1 as I'm not that bad yet. It's a waiting list and not a bidding one.

I feel very upset and on a verge of being S***** can I do anything to speed up the process? They could not tell my social worker how long I have to wait. Can I not look myself?

I'm so lost here and I'm not sure what to do. Just want to have a nice place of my own be happy and comfortable.

    You should apply to every housing association in your area just now. 

    Yes a hostel or temporary accommodation if you become homeless before a property becomes available for you. council and housing association homes are rare to be offered nowadays. Perhaps a studio flat private let might do. Make sure to save money for unexpected times that could arise in the future. And I would recommend looking into sheltered housing for autistic people

    No, just ask your doctor to provide you with a letter to state that you are vulnerable and why you need a home. You can say that not having a safe home makes you self harm and that you need a home for your safety. However, in your case I would highly recommend searching for autistic care home or disabled support. Phone the NAS to ask if they can point you in the right direction for autistic housing. Due to the amount of conditions you have  like depression, self harm etc you sound like you will need supported housing. 

    Living on ones is tough, and not easy at all. You might find that you get bad neigbours who might bully or belittle you so be careful when looking for a home. The outside world can be tough.

    Would this be long term rent?

    Should I mention I self harm due to depression?
