Have you got yourself on a waiting list for a council property or contacted housing association? Whilst it's awesome that these people have helped you they still need their own personal space and it's important to find your own as well. I'm not all that clued up on this issue but definitely look into some sort of housing and aim to look for employment, which will improve your chances of getting your own place.

I agree with Ronnie... call up or go to see your local council..... you affectively "homeless" and they have a legal duty to house you.

Good luck

Jeeze that sucks, man hugs dude.

I concur with the other advice given here. Get in touch with the council and explain your situation. They're pretty much obliged to find you a place of your own in your situation.

Greg, I agree with other posters - see what your options are and go from there. Have a look at the CAB website because they usually explain anything like this.

Have you thought of volunteering? At the charity run self help groups I used to attend they promoted this to help your confidence and build your CV up. Several people who did this found it helped them to secure jobs and they felt their anxiety & depression improved for it.

Greg the others are right about the council having to re home you but I am guessing you would rather be back in the area closer to your children than were you are now? Maybe if you go back to your sisters then tell the council there that you have to move out and have no where to go. The doctor there knows you so should be able to give you a medical note saying that you need somewhere to live and have health problems. This would help you with priority on the housing list.
I know that you have tried to get voluntary work and even voluntary hasn't been easy to find.
You really do need a place of your own so that you are not worrying about being moved on all the time.
You could try looking on here http://www.spareroom.co.uk/flatshare/?search_id=167142251& Many of them will accept DHSS housing benefits.
I am sorry you are having to go through all this again. :(

The link I sent is just for room share which I know is not ideal for you but maybe we need to look at all the options.
