People who are subject to immigration control are not eligible for local authority (or Northern Ireland Housing Executive) allocated social housing or homelessness assistance until they have obtained indefinite permission to enter or stay or specified forms of limited permission which are not subject to the NRPF condition. S118 and s119 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, and s61 and Schedule 2 of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 apply.

In England,eligibility for social housing and homelessness assistance is governed by parts 6 and 7 of the Housing Act 1996 and the Allocation of Housing and Homelessness (Eligibility)(England) Regulations 2016 as amended (SI 2006/1294)

Thanks for your response but I’ve always thought housing association is different from council house.

I sent a copy of my immigration status to the council to refer me to housing association waiting list and it was approved. I don’t know if they approved it based on my child.

I’ll tell them to take me off the list then.
