Social Housing Application

I have had an urgent change in my tenancy and I have to move out. It will leave me without somewhere to live. Is there anyway I can reach feed this to the council so they can quicken my social housing application which is still pending? 

I have Cerebral palsy and I am not working at the moment (claiming UC). I'm worried that Temp accommodation will not meet my access needs (wet room, ground floor, near a bus stop or station). 

I am vulnerable in a  shared space and have dealt with discrimination and bullying in the past. 

Appreciate any help/advice! 

Thanks,

    Hi @HelloKae97, welcome to the community. Sorry you're going through this, it sounds really stressful. 

    If you're at risk of being homeless within the next 2 months, Shelter have an emergency helpline to call. They also have a web chat available which might be worth a try if you're not able to call them. 

    Have you had any contact with Citizens Advice? They might be able to point you in the right direction or help you approach your council.

    I hope our members will be along soon to share their experiences and offer some advice too :)

    Absolutely, contact the department that your application went to, and say your circumstances have changed and update them with the situation.
