Only certain people from abroad are eligible for council housing. The rules are very complicated if you are not a UK citizen and your rights will depend on your immigration status. The council may contact the Home Office to check your status, so get specialist advice before you apply.
Most people from abroad (including virtually all asylum seekers) do not qualify for council housing. If you are seeking asylum, you may be entitled to help from the National Asylum Support Service (NASS), which is part of the Home Office's Immigration and Nationality Directorate. In some circumstances (for example if you have children and/or special support needs), you may be able to get help from social services.
However, some people from abroad are eligible. This probably applies to you if:
you have been granted refugee status
you have been given either exceptional leave to remain, discretionary leave or humanitarian protection, as long as this status was not given with the condition that you have 'no recourse to public funds'
you are from the European Economic Area (the EU plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) and you are a worker, a member of a worker's family, self employed or you have the right to stay here for other reasons
you have unconditional leave to remain in the UK (settled status) and are living in the UK, Eire, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man
you already have a secure, introductory or assured tenancy with a council or housing association, and are applying for a transfer.
you came to the UK from Montserrat after the 1995 volcanic eruption
you are from a country that has ratified the European Convention on Social and Medical Assistance (ECSMA) or the Council of Europe Social Charter (CESC), and normally live in the UK, Eire, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. Countries that have ratified the ECSMA include all EU countries (except Austria and Finland) plus Iceland, Malta, Norway and Turkey. Countries that have ratified the ESC include all EU countries plus Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Malta, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, and Turkey).
Immigration law is extremely complicated, so get advice before you apply if you are not sure of your status
