We do not have the resources or powers to create more housing or manage hostel vacancies. I can only hope that the reason an outreach worker would offer separate accommodation for each person in the couple is that there were no other options available. Particularly, as so many hostels seem to be for men or women only.The Outreach Worker,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17042570705146682803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420596943679643921.post-12818029833179948382010-10-07T23:13:26.118+01:002010-10-07T23:13:26.118+01:00What we want couples for,too much trouble.anything...What we want couples for,too much trouble.anything for a easy life,plenty outside waiting to come in....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420596943679643921.post-54116199017046919932010-10-06T23:21:48.191+01:002010-10-06T23:21:48.191+01:00hi yes agree with some comments bob,as someone who...hi yes agree with some comments bob,as someone who has been on streets with a partner,you wount belive some of the lies and deciets made to both of us by outreach workers,to try to split us up we each go into separate hostel..WHY its simple..get more benefits from us if apart..Might be charity outreachworkers,but charity for WHO! have a look at what some Homeless charity directors earn each year,read finanal year reports submiitted in their Annual Reports..eyewatering<br /> regards ex bullringAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420596943679643921.post-34709670670969052232010-10-04T21:33:36.364+01:002010-10-04T21:33:36.364+01:00As far as i can see it, it's greed?
I have not...As far as i can see it, it's greed?<br />I have noticed over the years that a lot of landlords prefer to take on single people mainly because there are more single people so they are easier to get in, and to get out. and a single person wouldn't use up much resources, so their bills are cheaper. I also think that the amount of couples that are homeless more recently than before so the insight into this new rise wasn't taken into consideration, so it will be a while before somebody realises what is going on, hopefully that will be soon with all the cuts going on.
