They do not understand the root causes of homelessness, homeless people are often looked down upon as being "lazy" and "not looking for a job" but being homeless is what contributes to the unemployment rather than the other way round. To have a job, you need a bank account, to have a bank account you often need an address. This means that homeless people are stuck in a cycle of unemployment.

There are a number of health, safety and welfare concerns about access and egress on the estate which is becoming more of an issue by the day due to increasing use since the opening of the Keswick to Threlkeld railway path. A number of pedestrian paths, steps and access routes are in a poor state of repair and are hazardous . The step and walkway access to the site on both sides is very hazardous and there is an increased risk of slips, trips or falls. The steps are extremely large, buckled, warped and rotting away. The wooden handrail alongside the step access to the road by the leisure centre is rotting away and loose. At the base of the steps a hole has appeared in the tarmac. The path running adjacent to the leisure centre at the back of the houses has completely collapsed at the end nearest the Keswick Bridge time share. The steps on the central mound on the estate are also collapsing and the paths are made from loose hardcore rubble posing a trip hazard. The increase in footfall through and around the estate is degenerating the paths further. The estate is home to a range of different people. The poor state of repair to the access and egress route on the estate is particularly challenging for those families with young children, elderly residents and disabled residents. It is important that the access and egress route are repaired and improved without delay to prevent avoidable accident or injury.

The 38 residents of the building have slow WiFi speeds. There is a need for speed, strength and security.

Single parents have lots of stress to deal with. We do not need extra stress and more thoughts for the research of a shelter. It is our rights and we have to be garanteed.

Its important because there's elderly and vulnerable people live here were all going to be homeless.

Because I will be made homeless with no where to go 1 month before Christmas and through the COVID-19 pandemic. I lived at my grandads house for 4 years nearly 5 years and after his death in June 2020 i tried to seek succession of his tenancy with Peabody Trust. I provided them with all the evidence to prove I lived there 12 months prior to his death and that’s exactly what I done. Now Peabody have refused my right to succession on the basis of me being link to one of my parents addresses.

This is discriminatory to those who are for example disabled or elderly. It shows housing providers are more interested in their pockets than human decency. It implies that those in rent arrears aren't entitled to food deliveries , companionship . It seeks to punish those already struggling for no clear reason at all . In the current climate of self isolation due to COVID 19 rules such as these seek to further isolate those who aren't able to leave their homes , need assistance , or need to be able to park in close proximity to their home.

My child is 11 and ASD & ADHD - she had at least five violent melt downs daily- we all suffer, her especially. She will smash her head on walls, pull her hair out and she will attack me (her mum) , and the rest of her family. WE have been staying with my mum through a lot of lockdown and have noticed that the influence of her dog (Loki) is massively calming for her. He can sense when she is upset or angry or about to blow her top and he will go to her and snuggle with her and calm her down. In turn this makes the lives of the whole family more enjoyable. I am in social housing by circumstance, I had my own house and myself and my ex had well paying jobs when we had our children (I won't go into it|) but I never expected to end up in social housing ..however when being in social housing a lot of the time means that you get placed in a small fat with NO outside play areas it really does make life hard, throw additional needs into the mix and it is sometimes untenable. Allow these children to have the support animals that can benefit the whole family or just stop placing them into flats with no play areas and into houses with gardens where this would't be a problem.

Families are suffering from different things like no hot water and dangerous facilities.
