Target help any ex offender over 16 http://www.frameworkha.org/pages/target_-_floating_support_for_offenders.html
Or see what your council can offer you?
or nationally, you could call shelter for advice http://england.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/finding_a_place_to_live
One thing thats worth bearing in mind though, is that you may not want to go into a hostel long term, and you might want somewhere your kids can come and stay long term, in the first place you may be best just getting somewhere to live, and there somewhere independant, and then work up (reasonably quickly) to exactly what you want.
As Katralla suggests, Notts Housing Advice is probably going to be the best place to start. I used to volunteer there and they can give some really great, applicable advice. They should be able to provide you with information that is relevant to that area.
Good luck!
