well we had our meeting yesterday with homeless officer and head of council what a waste of timne when the head of council decided to turn up 15mins late she had been swimming an had obviously forgotten great council workers we have sorry just fizzing as far as im concerned the council could not give a rats toss what happens to us when we mentioned 2 maisionettes in town which were empty they said oh yes your 3rd on the list if there had been 3 empty would we have been fourth then the head of council suggests a private rent a guy she knows he has one near us but will not be ready for 4 weeks plus he asking too much money as it only a 3 bedroomed house we dont think we will qualify for much rent as oldest son is working and just had our adjustement for this house an they taking of quite a lot a month as he works dont know where to turn to next 3 weeks an we will be totally homeless at my wits end with worry i could take a house other end of town but full of alkies an junkies not a snob but dont want my kids brought up in that environment an once you get there you cant get out as know one wants to move there hence the low uptake of housing in these areas any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated karin :tearful::tearful::tearful::tearful::tearful::tearful:

The only thing I can think of is to contact your MP.

 

Hope you get some housing very soon!

Karin, I asked you this last time, but you may not have noticed due to high volume of replies.....Can your Mum help you out financially from the house sale?, and then you could rent somewhere suitable in the short term till this is resolved, you mentioned she got a very quick sale.....I am assuming she is totally aware of your predicament and the impact this could have?

This was my first thought too Karin. Any family or friends who you could live with, even in the short term? I'm assuming it would then be seen as overcrowding, and you would be rehoused somewhere more suitable. I'm so sorry that I can't think of anything else, and I can't begin to imagine the stress you must be under >:D<<'> >:D<<'>

Karin.....I don't know what to say either, apart from wishing you the best of luck and that a place is found for you very quickly.

 

Take care and hope you'll be back online again soon.
