I'm so sorry to hear about your circumstances- CRPS is such a debilitating condition, and it sounds as though your temporary housing isn't anywhere near as accessible as it should be.
Unfortunately we're not housing specialists and so we cannot directly assist, however I'd advise giving our helpline team a call on 0808 800 3333, to see if they can offer any guidance. Alternatively, the charity Shelter also have a helpline that may be worth contacting, too: 0808 800 4444.
