you may be entitled to housing benefit or some sort of assistance

you should apply for council housing all the same, but bear in mind that they have thousands on the list who have been waiting for years to move, some of these people live in very unsuitable accommodation ( eg)a family of 6 in a 2 bed flat)

What cazz says about council housing is undoubtedly true in some areas but it would be wrong to assume it is the same everywhere. You should certainly apply to your local Council as they will have a duty to house you if you can no longer live where you are now.
You also need advice on all the available benefits - go to your local CAB.
