The silence continues

I'm not sure how the housing association thing works but from people I know in the past who have had to go down that route they don't usually get offered flats in decent areas. The council usually give you the 'excess stock' (read dump) first. So where is the local council estate where you live and what's it like because that's what she will get offered. I also believe you need to be declared as homeless as well and no, you are not allowed to make yourself homeless unless there are mitigating circumstances.

I believe your W will need to rent privately.
