My friend is 16 wks pregnant, her partner has left her and her private flats contract runs out in 3 wks. She cannot afford to renew the lease as she has debts and only works for a basic wage. The council has given her no award point and refuses to rehouse her, What can she do? She has nowhere to go!

your friend must go to citizen advice bureau as soon as poss, they will have someone there who deal with problems like hers . they are great people and get results and it does not cost anything. you can find their number in the phone book and they will tell you were your nearest one is to you. GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE ALL WORKS OUT.

If you are really a true friend then you would help her out as much as you can. Picture yourself in her shoes. Help her go to a social worker or some type of family or parent planhood, get her to sign up for Section 8 or some type of sheltering. Make sure she put his a** in court they will eventually find his a**.There are plenty of help out there. Just make sure she chooses the right decision. Don't make her feel less then she already feels. Bad enough that the bastard left.her. I really hope this is a good advice. Keep in mind that you will always be there for her no matter what.
Best Wishes

As a pregnant woman, you do have a larger floor for housing from the council, yet this would determination from section to section. look up your close by council on the information superhighway in case you could and then inspect their housing/lettings coverage. the following in London, below Tower Hamlets (which covers merely concerning the packed with East London) pregnant women all and multiple seems to easily accept a really larger precedence. the way this works is they're positioned into hostels (which i understand are terrible places yet regrettably they're the merely palce to bypass in a great number of circumstances.) you're then placed into short-term lodging if there are not any acceptable houses, or if there are houses available you're re-housed. i ought to really say even with the actuality that, look up your close by authority as maximum of them have homeless sections that are mainly set up for persons on your difficulty. desire this enables some!

if she lives in this area [wychavon} the council will house her, i know that because i know a woman who had not been on the waiting list for more than a week who was also pregnant took priority over my son when a flat came up. though i have to say i think it is very bad that this happens as it encourages the girls to get pregnant and our boys dont stand a chance of getting flats, but there you are

I used to work in a hostel for pregnant homeless women...ok its not ideal but they house you and you get your name(well your mate) down on the council list and wait upto a year to be rehoused. You get your own room and like I said although its not ideal its a gateway to getting into a council property. She may be a candidate for this! Mail me for more info if she is interested. Goodluck x

can she stay with you or a family member???? There has to be someone who can take her in and help her. She also needs to go see Social Services and see how they can help her. She will also have to get child support from the father once the baby is born. She will need medicaid for her and the babies health and birth.... She will also need food stamps and she is very eligable for WIC. Take her to a local birthright center as well... They will give her clothes and things too!

Go to the C.A.B.(UK) quickly they will be able to point her towards the right agency who can help her, there must be a reason she wasn't awarded any points? They can admit her to the housing list all she has to do is apply, find out about young mum hostels they maybe able to help. Good Luck

tell her not to live her place even do she has no money to pay, the landlord is willing to take her to court she has to go and she needs to tell the judge about her situation. they will help her. the landlord can't throw her out unless he has an order from the judge and he can't lock her out because he needs to get an order from the judge and then call a constable to do it. this is gonna take at least 2 months. other way .go to the social services or the action community center they help you only once .good luck
