Advice needed
I've just become a single parent and I've applied for council housing as I can't afford to live in my house anymore, I applied today but went on to look at the process of it but it's been suspended what does that mean anyone had any experiences with this? I'm really hoping it's not entirely bad news thanks in advance if you can xx

Have you took your documents in? I think they suspend it until they get all the paper work.
Hope your ok things will get better x

I'd maybe give a phone. Where I stay some housing associations won't take applications if a persons in accommodation already. Not entirely sure how it all works but I know someone who tried to apply for a council and they never got entertained and would need to go homeless but then the housing said if they made themselves intentionally homeless they wouldn't get help. Really not sure how it works Deffo phone them tho xx

Can u not apply for housing benefit? They should cover some of your rent, you should be entitled to child tax credit & working tax as your a single parent
Will your ex not help with any costs? X
