Hi I am currently In temp accommodation with two high needs ASD children. I am married and we are both living in temp accomdation, but the stress of it all has completely broken down our marriage I want to split up but don’t know how it works who will have to move out, will I have to do a new homeless application, we are in the main housing duty and looking to private rent but we have both decided we can’t carry on together anymore. The stress of becoming homeless has broken us as well as to high needs kids it sounds sad but don’t have time for each other anymore . Does anyone know what will happen with our temp accommodation im so stressed about all. Will I still be able to private rent on my own as I don’t want to stay in temp accodation forever it’s really getting to me living in limbo, I don’t work as am a full time carer so that is concerning me as well how will I be able to afford anywhere on my own? Any advice would be great. Thanks

I’m not sure what will happen but I imagine you and the children would remain a priority. Can you call your housing officer and talk it through with them?

It shouldn't really change your prority.
Your needs are the same weather your with a partner or not.

If your not working then you would get housing benefit for temporary accommodation.
