Im on my local council waiting list for council housing. Can I stay on there if I am referred to Real Lettings project?
This will depend on the specific policies of the council you are registered with and their policies on allocating properties, however it is likely that the Local Authority would decide that you were no longer in housing need and take you off of their waiting list. Most local authorities see private rented housing as suitable housing and this is likely to be the move on that most people in hostels & supported housing are offered. Even people considered in priority need may be offered private rented housing rather than social housing as there is simply not enough social housing available. It is unlikely for most people in supported accommodation to be offered social housing and this will remain the case if you move into private rented accommodation.
