Universal Credit and Housing Costs

I am on UC after becoming homeless and I have limited capacity for work related activity. I have just found somewhere to live that is only available Monday to Friday. Given my current situation this is definitely a step up although a full time rental would be preferable.
My question is can you get help with housing costs if you are living in a 'part time' privately rented property?

I don't think somewhere you live Monday-Friday would be classed as part time, because that is the majority of the week that you will be there.
If you live somewhere the majority of the time it would be your main residence.
