Behind the housing
crisis are real people, real children, real families. One such case is that of
foster carer Ava who is homeless for
fostering and fosterless due to homelessness. When her property did not
meet the necessary electrical safety certificate requirements and her landlord
refused to pay for the necessary changes, Environmental Health issued a notice
and her landlord evicted her. Ava and her two adopted children were made
homeless and are now in temporary accommodation in Connect House. Due to her
homelessness, Ava has lost the right to foster.
So shocked was Siobhain by this story that she asked the Prime Minister directly about the case. You can watch her question below and read more about the case from the article in the Daily Mirror: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/cruel-catch-22-foster-carer-11836495
