| Comment | If you do go through the councils homleness department, make sure you mention anything background/mental health. Probably don't make stuff up but try not to hide anything. Realistically if you're an adult male it's you'll probably get papped in a junkie hostel but it's worth a try. The difference between housing for vulnerable people and those the council didn't consider vulnerable was like night and day. I spent three days in a shelter for vulnerable people until they found me a place in a hostel like the belgrove. The first place was like awesome student halls, big bedsit room, TV on the wall, ensuite, nice and clean and support staff on hand. The second place was a tiny wee room old mattress with all the kind of stains you'd expect in a bed frequented by junkies, disgusting carpet, only a kettle to prepare food, a shared bathroom on each floor and no support and basically no contact with the council.
If you do end up in a junkie hostel try and remember that you're worth something and that it's only temporary. |
