Hi, looking for advice. My step daughter is 22 and lives with her mum. Her mum is supposedly moving away 3hours away and the house they live in is social housing. Her mum has made her sign the tenancy of the house so that at least she has a roof over her head...all fine and well but my step daughter is in college and only works a weekend job on one day or sometimes both. She's not receiving a great deal of income to be able to afford this house on her own. She has a partner who won't move in with her as currently at uni and wants to focus on that which is understandable. She has a friend who has said would move in with her but that friend has been telling others she isn't keen on moving in and needs to stay at her parents house as a carer...again understand and respect this.
Stepdaughter could potentially move in with us but we only have three bedrooms, the biggest one has her two half siblings, and another has her sister, who moved in with us permanently in 2020, she's younger and there's not any floor space to put another bed in her room. Then there's our bedroom which has even less space than my step daughters. I don't want to see eldest step daughter stuck but there really isn't any space for her to move in with us in the flat. I'm wondering if anyone would know if housing would help in this situation as in would they help step daughter find some where more affordable or would they help us getting a bigger property if she were to move in. TIA
