Threatened with homelessness?

Question

what do u do if u have nowhere to live and no cash? What do u do? I have a 2 year old daughter im a single parent and quite concerened.

Answer 1

You poor thing. Get on to your local council, the DSS and citizens advice. They will point you the right direction. Things will get better

Answer 2

dont u have ANY family that you can rely on? i mean, if your parents arent talking to u anymore, you can always get on your knees and beg for forgiveness for whatever you did wrong. if not, dont you have any close friends that can give you some shelter? you should stay with either one of those people until u find a job somewhere.

Answer 3

If you are in the uk, go to your local council and ask to speak to/or make an appointment to see someone from their housing department, they have advisers for families that are threatened with homelessness, and are very helpful, as you have a child under 5 you will be considered a priority need and they will have to at least provide you with temporary accommodation until they make a decision as to whether you are intentionally homeless, if they find you unintentionally homeless they will find you permanent housing.

PS: If this is because of an eviction it is really important that you dont leave until you have been through the whole eviction process, you need to stay there right through the court eviction process,  until the baliffs order comes, otherwise you will be considered intentionally homeless. The housing department at the council or the citizens advice bureau will tell you more about that.

Answer 4

What are your options? How did this situation come about? Do you have family or friends that will help you out until you get on your feet?

Answer 5

You go to the council and fill in the homeless declaration form. It is very important that you are not intentionally homeless. Fill out the form,get transferred to a hostel and then wait for a council house. The council must pay your rent and tax by law and give you accomadation as required by law-provided that you are British. If they do not help,go to your M.P and complain. They are reluctant to help because the Labour party allowed all these asylum seekers and immigrants in so big problem with housing.

Answer 6

Go on benefits like the rest of the single mums.
