To think I'm never ever going to be rehoused?

I joined my local council list last September and 13 months later and still nothing.
My latest property I'm 37/122
And 45/151
I'm feeling really hopeless about it all.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
How long am I looking at hers ?
Another year ?
Two?
It's so disheartening.

It all depends on the local authority, number of bedrooms needed, banding etc. I know of people who have waited 9 years on the housing lists

10+ year wait in my LA unless you have priority bidding (eg, homeless with children ).
Have you tried Housing associations?

I'm in general needs band which is moving through choice.

I'm with a housing association now in a 1 bed.
I do love it but need something bigger.

I waited 11 years. I had to private rent while I waited.

You have a house, is it adequate for your needs?

What's your reason for wanting rehomed?

Do you need a bigger property due to overcrowding or disability?
