The law* does not give anyone a right to the provision of a home from a particular social housing provider.* Have you informed your local council of your situation?* Are you on the housing list? you may be a priority.* However, you do not say if you are in social or private rented accomodation.* Without some background history in how you are in the accomodation you are, it is difficult to advise on your next steps.
