One of the aims of Home Truths is to document the full extent of how the crisis affects people; from homelessness to illegal eviction to massive rent hikes to poor housing conditions, & everything in between. Every story is valid and deserves to be heard. facebook.com/hometruthsire/

"They tried to separate the 3 of us as I was classed as an adult and they said I should be put in a men’s shelter. The only thing that allowed us to stay together was my Mam's illness." facebook.com/hometruthsire/…

"There were reused duvet covers, and the bed was covered in blood and burn holes. There was mould on the shower curtains. Some showers don't even have curtains, you're left exposed to everyone. There were no toilet seats, and blood left on the toilets." facebook.com/hometruthsire/…

I see a lot of hate on social media about homeless families from people who say well you shouldn't have had kids and so on.... Those people are the reason I never shared my story." facebook.com/hometruthsire/…
