I've been very close to homelessness lately. It IS difficult with prices going up and everything. Finally I just said, ok, if I'm going to be homeless for a while, I'm going to be homeless. There are always shelters and whatnot. And it's only temporary. Don't let this be the end. I pray that you won't end up without a home, but don't make it the end if you do. You will bounce back, and life can still be worth living!
Good luck

I know with some councils they will pay your rent to a private let.

I think it applies to people on benefits who are on the list for a council house but haven't yet got one & they have nowhere else to go.

Each area is different but I think they usually pay about £450 a month.
