I am looking for a new home for myself and my family. We have been homeless for over 6 months now and it has been the most devastating time of our lives. We were renting privately for years, however since the current market has changed, our landlord decided to put his property up for sale which meant we were served an eviction notice. Never did I think this would happen to us, however I have learnt you can never say never.
We have since been moved into temporary accommodation, however living in one room with my husband and two children has been anything but ideal. We are desperate to find a new home and have no idea where to even start with everything changing since the first property we lived in.
Beam reached out to us a few weeks ago and it first I didn't think what was being advertised was true. In fact I actually thought it was a scam until they informed me about all the people they have supported that were in a similar position as me. My caseworker took the time to inform me of different ways to house hunt, effective ways to communicate with landlords and where to even find new properties. A new form of hope was given to me and I couldn't be more thankful to everyone supporting me during this difficult time.
