‘I was told I'm lucky I don’t sleep in the kitchen. But we have a fridge-freezer next to the bed’

For almost 3 years, our member Sonia and her 2 kids have been living in temporary accommodation that is a category 1 hazard for overcrowding. From the very start, she has been fighting Hackney council just to get decent temporary accommodation for her kids. She's won 3 homeless appeals, but the fight continues as Hackney council use every trick in the book to refuse the family decent housing and undermine basic homeless rights.

After enduring 3 years in 3 different hazardously overcrowded temporary accommodations, the family need local social housing now.

The new Green council must uphold basic homeless rights and make sure that no homeless families are trapped in hazardous temporary accommodation!

Please use our quick email tool to show your support for Sonia and her family, and demand safe conditions for all Hackney homeless households.
