Have you registered with a house swap website? There are a number of them available.

Hi @alexandru1989 and welcome to the community. Here's a link to some great information about how to do this https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/housing/moving-to-another-council-or-housing-association-home/moving-to-another-council-home-or-housing-association-home/

There are 2 ways of moving:

1. Tenancy transfer: You will need to contact the housing association to ask for this. They will explain their application process. This can take a long time, so it might be worth looking at the second option.
2. Exchanging your home with someone else: You will need permission from your landlord, and will need to find someone to swap houses with. You can sign up to housing association mutual exchange sites to do this. One example is https://www.homeswapper.co.uk/ .

Do you have anyone that can support you with this?
