Trying to move but not getting help

[Hanrose1991]

I am a single mum with no local support, my closest support is my mum over an hours drive away.

I am trying to move closer to her but the council is not helping me at all as I am not being threatened with homelessness or fleeing domestic violence.

I am getting very depressed, not sleeping and stressed living where I am and I don't know what else to do as i can't afford to go private.

Anyone have any advice?

Depends on what area you want

Could you actually move in with your mum? Work out something re rent and childcare so you could save for a private let or work / earn more?

There isn't room at my mums to move in there.

What support do you need OP? Emotionally/childcare is there something that's happened that makes you want to be nearer your mum?

I think tbh it's not urgent compared to some people being homeless.

Do you have any friends near by?

What are your circumstances. Are you currently adequately housed? Do you work/private rent? Social
Housing.

Put yourself on housing list with family you have a vested interest in living in the area. Will take a while though.

Exchange through social housing avenues?

Go look and rent privately.
