Can you make homelessness application if you have equity tied up in a marital house? but cant stay there.?

It is not appropriate for person to live in house with partner, joint ownership, looking to sell in the future. would a local authority still have duty of care?Can you make homelessness application if you have equity tied up in a marital house? but cant stay there.?
You CAN make an application but whether you get a place depends on the council or housing association. A single male will generally not get a priority.


My ex husband and I were separated and in joint property. He tried to get on the homeless list but was told he would have to wait years for a place (if ever) as he was single and able to work.


We sorted out the problem by me buying him out of the property so he had money to rent in the private sector.





By the way..Stephen C...(2nd answer) you have real issues...seek help please!Can you make homelessness application if you have equity tied up in a marital house? but cant stay there.?
If it is a matter of domestic violence there are many shelters and groups that are willing to provide housing. If not, get a hotel or an apartment until the house sells. You will not qualify for state welfare/homeless benefits if you own a house.
Yes you can. You still havea financial interest in the property, but will need specialist advice about this. Citizens advice can help and advise for free.
Its because of people like u i cant be housed, i gave up every thing to care for an elderly parent and am now homeless. Why should they house you and not me.
A person is homeless if he has no accommodation available for his occupation, in the United Kingdom, or elsewhere, which he is entitled to occupy by virtue of an interest (owners; tenants etc.) in it.





Unless you can argue that it is unreasonable for you to continue to occupy (violence, affordability, etc.) then you are, in law, not homeless. That will remain so until 28 days before your current accommodation is no longer available to you. A simple relationship breakdown would not render you homeless, however uncomfortable it might be to continue in occupation.





The local housing authority still have a duty to assist you in obtaining accommodation, but that will probably be in the private rented sector unless the authority has nomination rights to a registered social landlord.
Do you mean apply for food stamps,monies from the state??? then the answer is no, you cannot apply because you own a home %26amp; have assets on which to rely....so NO....they will tell you that you can go to JOB TRAINING, and get a job or sell your assets if you are that hard up...it is not the local county,and/or state to take care of you, but rather yourself, see thats what is wrong with this country, you people, and I am assuming you are ';white, and/or born here in the U.S.'; ARE always so ready to ask for a handout from the state...FOOD STAMPS etc, but not HISPANICS, they are too proud, even when faced with your situation which many times they are without a job ..... but they pull up their pants so to speak, find work %26amp; deal with life, NOT ASK FOR A HANDOUT
