You should present yourself as homeless to your local council, who should be able to assist you

Hi @SphaM87 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

As Kimi said you should present yourself as homeless to your council as they should be able to help you. You should also tell them that you're vulnerable person as you are unwell.

There is also the Shelters emergency helpline who are experts in emergency housing rights.

The Care Workers Charity also have crisis grants that you may be eligible for and this reopens on 2nd March.
