A mother-of-four already grappling with grief after her partner passed is now facing homelessness before Christmas.
Council officials, she said, told her that because of the spiralling waiting list they’ll be placed into a hotel without cooking facilities if they can’t find a place.: ‘I’ve got Christmas coming up and three of my children’s birthdays are in December.‘I’ve not even had a chance to grieve for my partner because I’m so concerned about my children. It’s likely we’ll be staying in an emergency hotel this Christmas.
‘After his second round of chemotherapy they did another scan and it showed that the tumour had doubled and he had months to live. I was looking after four kids whilst being his carer.’ Ms Ryan has few options. Her mother only has a spare room for the five of them, and losing half the family income means saving for a deposit is a tall order.
A spokesperson for Tameside Council said: ‘The Council works hard to prevent homelessness and the earlier we are informed of issues the more we can do to help.’ ‘Where the council is not able to help using these tools, then the applicant has a statutory right to make a homeless application,’ the spokesperson added.
