Council grants extraordinary homes to homeless individual, leaving online critics astounded by a specific feature they consider a fortunate bonus.
Chloe Rhys Receives a New Council Home
Chloe Rhys, known on social media as @chlorhys, has recently been granted a new council home. The property, which is not a traditional council house but a privately rented one, offers extra storage space and a dining room that she plans to convert into a toy room for her daughter.
The new home comes equipped with a fully functional kitchen, a beautiful garden, a living room separate from the dining room, two double bedrooms, and a stunning bathroom adorned with white tiles. However, Chloe is not legally allowed to make any drastic changes to the property as she does not yet own it.
Being put on a waiting list does not guarantee a council house offer. In fact, after applying, you'll most likely have to join a waiting list. The duration of this wait can vary; there is no limit on how long you can expect to be on the waiting list.
To apply for a council home, you need to fill out and hand in an application to your local authority. You can find your local authority using the Government's council locator tool. Each council has its own local rules about who qualifies to go on the housing register in its area.
Eligibility for council housing is not limited to British citizens living in the UK. EU workers and their families, as well as refugees, may also be eligible.
Once you are high enough on the waiting list, the council will contact you about any available property. It's important to note that Chloe Rhys's new house is not a permanent home, and she may apply for a new scheme to secure a council property in the future.
Chloe Rhys has faced her fair share of housing struggles. She was homeless for six years before living in a mother and baby unit for almost three years. Now, she shares updates about her new home and life on her social media platform.
Each council has its own website with guidelines on how to complete the application process. For those interested in shared flat council housing ("Rat" in a Wohngemeinschaft or shared apartment), you typically need to express your interest to the existing members, demonstrate a willingness to contribute actively to the community, participate in discussions or meetings, and be accepted by a vote or consensus of current members. This process can vary greatly depending on the community's rules and culture.
In her new home, Chloe Rhys is responsible for covering the rent, gas, electric, council tax, and water bill, which amounts to £1,200. Despite the responsibilities, Chloe seems grateful for this new opportunity and looks forward to creating a warm and welcoming home for her and her daughter.
