Well firstly, i've been in a similar situation to emma and used maundy grange. I've also requested getting onto the housing list at one point, so I know how to do that, and it was....2 yrs ago, so I'm guessing its not changed at all too much so I can give advice on this issue.

Secondly, I was in the position of her little boy once, though a bit older, and my mum was able to deal with the problem really well and we got housed really fast, and so I feel that if she can do it after really being kicked out into the cold night, then its possible, and I know there is no way in hell that she'd have left me at my grandparents, gone out, and then sat on the internet at her friends house the next day whilst I was worried and confused.

The only difference is that it wasn't new years day.
 
my son is here with me..... we had already arranged for him to stay last night so picking him up would have confused him...
 
So what difference does it make that she's on the internet? Presumably her little boy is asleep so it won't be affecting him at all. You got housed 'really fast' and it wasn't New Year's Day. She's not even been homeless 24 hours yet and it IS New Year's Day.

I dont think she classes as homeless at the moment with staying at a friends. You have to actually be on the street, or thats what I was told when I went. Think she'd class as being 'temporarily accomodated'. Hence why I suggested that her friend sets an 'eviction' date so they assume she will be made to go onto the streets.

well why dont you start then because so far all you have done is mock people and try to belittle the situation and for someone who as apprently been there you dont seem to be very compassionate.

This is what HBC call homelessness - Homelessness and Housing Advice - Am I Homeless?

Homelessness and Housing Advice

Am I Homeless?

Many people assume that being homeless means sleeping on the street, but this isn't the case. You are homeless if you have no permanent accommodation of your own, so you could be:
  • Sleeping Rough.
  • Staying on a friends floor or settee.
  • Living in a hostel, bed and breakfast or refuge.
You could also be threatened with homelessness if you have your own home but are at risk of losing it for reasons such as:
  • Being asked to leave by your landlord or parents.
  • Suffering domestic violence or harrassment.
  • Leaving the armed forces, prison or hospital.
  • Getting into rent or mortgage arrears.
  • Your relationship has broken down.
