To ask about council housing?

[Brotherlove]

I'm very sad & confused old member here.
A family member has left her DH taking the children with her. They have been put in B&B or similar, and are saying they will be housed in a few weeks.
I'm confused as there is no DV, the house is jointly owned, children older teens and DH has said come home.
Will the council house them as they think? Or is there no duty on the council as they do own a home?
I think it might vary council to council 🤔 does anyone have any ideas please.
Very sad.

Why do you care if she gets a council house?

I care because I love all the people involved. That is all.
Trying to get my head around what could potentially happen for them.
Thanks for those who did give info/advice.

And me. If this is an indication of manipulation then she's well shot.

No seeing much love for the poor woman who is apparently having a mental health breakdown, but apparently doesn't deserve to be housed unless she goes back to a husband she clearly doesn't want to live with...
