The FFG Housing Catastrophe State needs to restart building public housing and forget spin @RoryHearneGaffs THIS week, a 65-year-old woman in poor health was evicted from her home in my constituency and had to go into homeless emergency accommodation. Having worked all her life, she is utterly devastated and wonders what she has done to deserve this. Another woman, speaking at a public meeting we held on housing, told how she is still living in her childhood box room, highlighting that her generation can't start families or live independently because they don't have their own home. She said she feels 'infantilised' These are just two examples of the human cost of the housing crisis. There are hundreds of thousands more tragic stories across this country of people whose lives are being destroyed because of the housing catastrophe. #HousingCrisis #HamesBrowne
