£0 remaining for a washing machine
J lived with his wife and children until the relationship broke down. For ten years he sofa-surfed, slept rough and rode night buses. Referred to the rough sleepers team in 2022, he was placed in temporary accommodation and now has permanent housing. Previously a working independent man, J now has a medical condition which has left him unable to work. A washing machine would enable him to maintain his personal hygiene and better manage on his limited income of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment.
