Neen teeters on the knife-edge of homelessness, living in a caravan and not getting anywhere in the housing system. Mary, pregnant with a two-year-old, bounces between accommodation trying to protect herself and her child whilst surviving on dismal government subsidies. Kiara goes further into housing debt as she looks after her four children, while hoping her husband will change.
We explore the history of our social housing system and the mess that is the housing support system today. We deepen our understanding of why women’s homelessness looks different, the damage it creates, and the stigmas and prejudice attached to homelessness, especially for women and children.
