my kids and I are currently in temporary accommodation. It’s a 1 bed flat. My kids are a girl, 13 and a boy 9. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant, please don’t judge I only found out at 16 weeks and baby is very loved and very wanted.
partner currently does not live with us and has gone to his mums as there is no room in our temp. We have viewed 13 private rentals this year. Non have been successful due to lack of housing in the area. We have the deposit and home owning guarantor but it doesn’t seem to help.
council have told us we likely won’t be housed for at best 4 to 6 years.
I’ve been told I’m not over crowded. Council have told me I must let my 13 year old have the bedroom as she counts as 1 person. my son in with me as he only counts as half a person. Baby doesn’t count. So I’m expected to have a cot and two beds in the living room.
I have been told moving my partner in would be classed as purposely overcrowding so he just can’t be with us?
honestly I’m becoming so depressed and I feel absolutely helpless.
