    Hi @abreu, welcome to the community. Sorry to hear you're having troubles at the moment.

    What kind of help do you need with your daughter?

    Hopefully our community can find some things that you might be able to try 😊

    May I ask if you're living in the UK? Scope is a UK based forum.

    Yes, I live in the UK, with two daughters, one of whom has autism and we lived in a house and the owner wanted the house, and so I went to the council to help me with an estate and they put me in a temporary house until they assessed my case, and came to a conclusion that I don't have the right to a house, and I would like to know about my money as a mother with autism.I don't know how to speak English, I don't have a support network. Do you have anything you can tell me or help me with?

    Why have the council told you that you don't have the right to a house? What would you like to know about money, are you claiming benefits, if so which ones? working? I'm sorry but you'll need to give a lot more information before I can advise you.

    • hey I'm a single maw with two daughters. and we don't have a roof over our heads and I went to the council to ask for help with a shelter, and they promised me a temporary home to evaluate my case, and they already evaluated my housing and said that I don't have the right to a stay, and I have until tomorrow to leave the temporary house

    I see that you mentioned your English isn't great. Have they refused to help you because of your immigration status? If so then I'd advise you to speak to either shelter or an advice agency local to you.
