Being homeless with no support is one of the biggest challenges you can face in life. If you are homeless, it can really impact your mental health in a very negative way. It is a time that causes a lot of anxiety and stress, particularly with the cost of living at the moment.
After I stopped working and only received Universal Credit, it was almost impossible to save any money to put towards a house deposit. It is really hard to pay this and the first month's rent at the same time!
Happily, I have found work again in a job that I am enjoying. It was such a relief finding a place and having beam to support and stabilise my situation. Moving forwards, I am looking forward to leading a much more stable life, and have already started to set myself some goals to achieve.
