If I apply for council housing (Waltham Forest) I’m worried if they move me further away from my family (I have bad health anxiety) and I also work in Walthamstow and my son goes to full time nursery.
Will they move me further away ?

You won’t get a place until 7 years from now anyway. If you go into emergency temporary housing you could go anywhere and you have to accept the first place they give to you. It’s better to get onto a deposit scheme and find your own little place in private rental and they’ll pay your first months deposit and rent to your landlord. They won’t keep you in the area just because you work here or your child is in school unless your child is in an exam year which is year 11.
