Finding accommodation

[CarolWilks 0]

Hi

I have recently divorced my wife and she has asked me to leave the house. I have nowhere to go and I stopped working about a month ago. I contacted the council and they said I have no priority for housing and that I have to find my own place to rent but all the landlords I contacted would not accept someone who is not working. I contacted Nomads but they said they have a long waiting list. I moved to Sheffield 3 years ago and have been busy working most of the time so I have no friends here to live with or even get advice from so I am lost and don't know what to do to get over this problem, so please advise me.

Thanks in advance

You could ask the council for a homelessness assessment instead of general housing help, as being told to leave can count as a genuine threat of homelessness. In the meantime, speak to local charities or churches offering temporary beds, and try small private landlords who advertise locally rather than agencies. I even found random resources like a hotel meeting room singapore article useful just for spotting short‑term stay options while sorting things out.
