    Hi Georgina,

    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with your housing. Have you had an Occupational Therapist assess you at home? Their reports can be very helpful in explaining your needs to your housing department.

    I would be interested to know more about your situation to see if I can offer any help with your housing situation. Please do carry on with the conversation or contact me at the helpline to discuss this in more depth.

    Kind regards

    Debbie
