I’m aware of somebody in privately rented accommodation who is on the housing list 12 years with 6 children. Sadly the list of those with physical and mental illness is growing all the time, all you can do is submit any reports you have to the housing office in support of your application. As you know we are in a well publicised housing crisis and this is exacerbating matters, My only advice is to keep bidding on cbl, that’s how properties are allocated except in rare circumstances such as disabilities etc. Best of luck.

What's a Cluid list?
Did you get a house quicker than from the council?
