You as holder of ILR are entitled to apply for council house. Not sure about joint application. Other might comment.

You can only be granted a council house as a single person, or a single person with children (if applicable). Not as a couple.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Hello Casa, you mean I will apply as a single person and what will happen to my husband? Will he come with me just in case I will be granted a council house?

Your husband can live with you, but the decision will only be made on whether you qualify for a council house as a single person.
