Hi everyone, we have bee issues a possession notice and section 21 from our private landlord ? the documents are all valid. The property is being placed up for sale.
I have a husband and two young girls, one aged six the other is two. My husband suffers from mental health problems namely PTSD and a personality disorder (under the care of the community mental health team). My youngest has'nt had the best starts to life and has behaviour problems (outside the norm) and suffers from seizures.
Due to no fault of our own we have moved numerous times over the years and now want to try for council accommodation. There is no private rental around. We need to stay local in order to remain within my support network and keep some stability amongst the children.
We are aware of a new development of social housing in our area and would be ideal to be placed there, however these properties are unlikely to be ready before October. We are aware the council will place us in B&B for six weeks so maybe placed into temporary accommodation, we are worried being placed into temporary accommodation will reduce our banding risking any chance of getting a property within the new development. So my question to you, after we are ?discharged? from B&B how should we fill the void (stay in parents camper-van?) until the new social housing is built?
No doubt I will receive a lot of negative comments about this post, but we are a genuine family in need of some stable accommodation and need to stay within our support network. My husband has served this country to the hills and now he's ill we are looked at as filth. I just hope you can give some thoughts and comments to our situation.
