YOU MUST ACCEPT WHATEVER HOUSING YOU ARE GIVEN FIRST, EVEN IF IT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT OR IT IS FAR AWAY. IF YOU DON'T, YOU MAY END UP HAVING TO SLEEP ON THE STREETS.
I want a Council house
You can put your name on a waiting list for a council-owned house. You will be put into a priority category based on your circumstances. For example, a family with young children would be a higher category than a single man. If you are a single man (not married), there may be a wait of several years.
