Renting a social housing unit while owning a home?

Questioner

My husband and I are getting divorced. We own a house together. Now I want to move out of the house and into social housing. I have registered for a house and have a good chance, but to qualify I have to provide proof that we are getting divorced and that I am being bought out of the house I own. Since all this is in a relatively short time (registration for social housing closes on Sunday) and it is not possible to have everything sorted out before then, I wondered what my options are. For example, is a letter of intent (signed by both of us) sufficient, stating that we intend to do this? Or does everything have to be sorted out before I am even eligible for social housing? It seems so twisted to me that all that has to be arranged before you can even get another home. I had hoped to do it the other way around: first another home and then arrange everything with the divorce and the home.

The conditions and procedures for social housing can vary depending on the municipality you live in. I advise you to contact the relevant authorities, such as the municipality or a housing association, in your specific region for the conditions. In general, you can qualify for social housing after a divorce if you meet the criteria set by the landlord or housing corporation. These criteria can include income, household size and possible urgency. In the event of a divorce, you may fall into a specific urgency category, such as when your children end up on the streets. This may give you priority in the allocation of social housing. However, it is important to understand that the availability of social housing is often limited and that there may be waiting lists. To find out exactly when you are eligible for social housing after a divorce, it is best to contact the relevant authorities in your region. They can provide you with specific information and guidance in the process of obtaining social housing. I would be happy to help you with your divorce.
