How likely is council housing after notice in Devon?

[CharlottePotatoes]

How likely is my friend to get a council house? Her landlord gave her notice which runs until July 31st. She’s retired, married, with two adult children at home. Council put them on band C for priority.

She doesn’t want to even consider looking for a private rental and seems adamant the council will house her. She’s in Devon (I’m not) I wondered if there are more homes there? I’m quite worried about her.

Private rental wise she has no credit rating, guarantor or deposit but has said she’s considering asking for her deposit back early to leave her current rental.

Just for info https://england.shelter.org.uk/professional_resources/legal/homelessness_applications/homeless_application_process

A homeless application includes the members of the applicant's household. The local authority must treat as part of the household:[14]

• family members who usually live with the applicant
• any other person who might reasonably be expected to reside with them, even if they are not currently able to do so[15]

If someone usually resides with the applicant as a member of the family, the local authority cannot decide that it is not reasonable for them to live together. The authority can decide whether anyone else could be included in the application.

DFs are naive. Temporary housing sounds short but can be years.

Nope.
