Talk about Homeless

Talk about Homeless

Wanna? Anyone?

Homelessness is different from voluntary camping. And I've discovered that it does something to the mind, it has a tendency to warp people.

In my case this time it is more gruelling due to the National housing crisis. Jackals enforced my crisis, so that on part vulnerable older people didn't end up on the street. An institutional oxymoron, because I am 61yo.

Is it possible that there is a push against other vulnerable sectors of the community, such as mental health victims? What does the future hold for them?

Omg @Stout

I'm so thinking about you.

@TAB s information is pretty good.

I live in public housing. A builder here at these units once told me that he felt all the behaviour of department of housing people is based on fear of them being sacked.

Do you have other places to apply ? Here in Perth I think it's called foundation housing....

Re: Talk about Homeless

@PeppyPatti yeah sure, Anglicare , they were rude and brutal. The church eh, not vulnerable to adverse penetration. I was bullied and humiliated and dragged through the courts by an eviction campaign in the name of the church. A very public persecution and witchunt. My mental health status was called into question by applicants close to passing on. Filthy. The jackals etal thought it humourous. Foul intervention of the State. Where I was at, the church had all the other Tennant's close to God. But not I. I was held to inquisition, and community humiliation.

Can you imagine the mental health stress I was in????
