I don’t have a personal experience but my friend went though this, we’re on the border of Kent and London and she was in temp housing for a few months and was given a flat in the same area. Her mum and brother both live in the area so it did help her case and she wasn’t moved out of the area.
@Irita when you say temp Housing, what is that? Is that like a hostel or could that possibly be a flat/house before you get a permanent place xx
@Lauren for my friend it was a house with a shared kitchen. But I’ve heard of people being placed in hotels as well. I think it depends on the area and what’s available at that point.
i’m not from there but with my council they just asked if i had family in the area and if you do they will still house you there, so you having your mam in that area will still count towards it
