Can I still claim universal credit if I live in a homeless hostel. I'm about to be made homeless and am worried if I get put into a homeless hostel my UC will stop.

Yes, you will still be able to continue with your UC claim. If you're currently claiming for help with any rent and you need to continue to claim this when you live in the hostal then you will need to claim housing benefit for help with this, which can be claimed from your local Authority. See link. https://england.shelter.org.uk/professional_resources/legal/benefits/claiming_benefits_when_staying_in_a_homeless_hostel/benefits_to_pay_for_a_homeless_hostelYou will need to report the changes to UC once you move into the hostel. Have you contacted shelter for some advice about becoming homeless? https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/homelessness
