Petition for housing in Haringey

JW77

While this is one individual, who sadly became disabled in a car accident, I lived in the same borough, and the housing story is familiar to me.
In my case I was given 40 years on the waiting list unless my family through me out on the street.
I didn't wish to be a 40something still living with aging parents if I could help it.
Somehow I managed to move 150 miles away from the place where I'd grown up, to a new and unfamiliar territory
"The Issue

I’m 24 years old, paralysed from the waist down, and I’ve been in 7 different hospitals since my injury in January 2026.

I have been medically fit to leave since May. It is now September — so why am I still here?

Because Haringey Council has failed to find me a safe, accessible home.

I have followed every instruction I’ve been given. I’ve completed an unimaginable amount of assessments, joined the housing list I was told to join, provided everything requested and repeatedly chased Haringey Housing and adult social care about my discharge.

Thanks for sharing this @JW77, it sounds like a really difficult position to be in.

I hope they're able to get some momentum going with the petition and find a suitable solution.
