Hi
So I need to leave my home. My family are trying to move. I’m not happy here. so the council asked for an eviction notice. Fine fair enough. I thought given the circumstances and the way my applications were going 2 months was looking okay I thought I could be housed by the time 2 months was up. They then phoned me and said we can’t get you a place at the moment you’ll need to wait another 16 months. I don’t have 16 months. we could’ve pushed it to 4 maybe but not 16. They said I could go private have I looked. Yes I can’t afford it and I’ve done private it was awful and then they won’t help me either. She said you could make a homelessness application and we can put you in a houseshare or supported accommodation. I simply can not do a house share. So it’s looking like supported accommodation is my only option but I don’t really know what that means. I’m so stressed out right now and I’m going to go back to my youth worker but I can’t do that while im here
Hi andi
I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. It's good to hear that you are going to go back to your youth worker. That sounds like a good idea and together you can examine your options. It might be useful to look at the information on the Shelter website also: https://www.shelter.org.uk/
