Long wait for council and social housing

You are much more likely to be able to rent privately than to get a social housing. Social housing includes council homes and homes owned by housing associations.

Waiting times are very long and you may never get a social housing property.

If you are homeless, we will look at all housing options and explain what support is available to you.
