Is my mental health the worst it's been since leaving uni and being diagnosed properly? Yes! Are me and jo trying to do everything to avoid becoming homeless and placed in emergency housing even though no other authority seems to care very much about that? Yes! But did I have the ingredients for a mountain of bruschetta and did it make me feel a little better? Also yes!

#Blog post #Things have descended in the housing front ngl #The council is refusing to allow us to apply for council housing together bc I don't provide 24/7 care for Jo even though I do a fair bit #And we will both be much worse apart #We asked them to send the report and the name of our caseworker so we can appeal it #And turns out there's no written report and we don't have a caseworker 'bc there's just the 3 of us' which!!!!#Don't even know where to start with that!!!#We asked them to send something to us so they sent and e-mail saying that they're refusing our joint application bc it's not in the policy #And then attached the policy #Like!!! Not even citing specific paragraphs or rules!! We had to go through it #We've had one viewing in like a year/year and a half #And apparently we were in the final two for consideration but they chose a family so the kid didn't have to change school #Which like yeah changing school sucks especially in the middle of the year #But they would survive!#70% of landlords will not rent to people on benefits!!#Also many landlords won't allow basic accessibility changes to the property and she would #Yes I am bitter about a child's welfare and no it's not a good look #It really sucks me and jo are trying everything to not end up in emergency housing and like everyone else is trying to do the opposite #Can anyone just like real quick systemically change the entire housing market or the council house system? Like as a prank??
