HOST - TRAFFORD housing council question

Hi, I am currently on the Trafford (HOST) housing waiting list. I am have been down on the list since 2020 but only started to actively bid now. I am in bang 2 and my rank is somewhere between 40-25 on my bids.
I know times are hard for a lot right now but I am cooped up in my mum and dad’s box room with my 2 kids. I am sleeping on the floor. I am down as over crowded but band 2. I have refused b&bs because it’s just not an option to take my kids there I’d rather be on the floor and let them sleep in the bed/cot and be safe.
I am in the Trafford area and I just wanted to ask, does anyone think I am far off? I got quotes to have somewhere “by spring” but honestly is this even likely with them rankings?

(Housing did advise me spring, another lady did from a different service but works with getting people homes within Trafford in the council).

my situation is:

single mother with 2 children and I work full time.

thanks guys.

If that's what they've told you then I'd be positive and think it will be then. You mention a cit, have you had another child since going on the list? Have you updated them about tuis!

I have had another child since and they do know still only a 2 bed which is more than enough for us just grateful we can be house tbh :-)
