Unemployed applying for British citizenship

Hi Everyone,
I'm seeking advice/help to apply for British citizenship (with ILR)
As of this month, I have been made redundant from my job that I worked from the last 7 years. Based on the information on the gov.uk website, I meet all the requirements except for the one that is:
• intend to continue living in the UK
Although I have all intensions to settle in the UK and make it my main home, I am guessing being unemployed wouldn’t meet this requirement. I don't own any property/investment in the UK or neither have any family in the UK.

Just wondering if being unemployed would adversely affect my application or wait for my circumstance to change. Any suggestions/advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Being employed is not a requirement for naturalisation. And it is not connected with your future intention to reside in the UK. You declare your unemployed periods as part of your employment history.
