What help can Scope provide with housing


I have attached a picture of the room that I left in February of this year (it's mould caused by a leak from the flat upstairs, upstairs fixed the leak but my landlord did nothing).
I went to my letting agency, who said I'd need to discuss repairs with the landlord.
I went to my local council, who said well you have a contract until 2021 so we couldn't start to try to find you anywhere and I was also informed that the council house waiting list was around 15-18 years. 😟😭.
I was actually forced to leave the flat, as one of the flatmates left to go back to his country and left in January 2020.
Since then I've been between places, but I need help finding my own place, I don't think I could live in another shared house. Often I've had my former flatmate kicking my door open at 3am amongst other things.

Does Scope have a housing department that i could contact (preferably by email) just so I can explain my situation in more detail.
Have you looked into private rent though this can be a challenge if you are on benefits or if you are homeless then contact the council homeless team
