Council housing/domestic violence

[Mimi2018]

Hi,

Please could I get advice from anyone who has either gone through this or has knowledge of this..

I am a single parent now, mother of 11month baby. Left father due to domestic violence. I have returned back to my mothers council home where I am registered.

My mother's home and my ex partners home is one minute apart.

Due to the close proximity and the fear of bumping into him and his family would the council provide me with a place of my own with my baby as a priority? And how do I go about doing this?

Thank you!

this is so hard :(

I have heard of one of my friends friend who went through something similar and ended up getting a new build.. I guess it depends on the actual circumstance and council

I think your best option is to try to go back to work and get a private let if you want to stay in Lambeth.

My niece went home to her parents 6 no the pregnant after her partner hit her.
She applied to the council but they told her that as she is at her parents, she's not priority as she's safe and housed.
Her baby is now 2 and she's still waiting
