    They won't just rehouse you, not even in temporary housing. First you need to put your name down on the social housing list by filling out a form. How long it will take to be rehoused will depend on your circumstances and in some cases it can take many many years.

    Have you had a look at privately renting in the area?

    Hello @mary98

    Welcome to the community! :) I'm so sorry you do not have any privacy. Can I ask, just to make clear, do you care for someone who lives with you?

    You need to contact your local council to apply for social housing.
