I was recommended for emergency housing due to domestic abuse in 2013. I was interviewed at the Maloney branch of hdc within three months of the application. Representatives from the unit was sent to where I live and photographs was taken of same. The victim & support unit and the social worker DPT of the TTPS again sent as written communication to the HDC inquiring on my status and to date 2018 I received nothing. I cannot afford the cost of rent and at the moment I sleep on a chair at my in laws whom I must say is eagerly wishing to send me out of their home. Kindly look into my application as I am in desperate need of a shelter for my self and kids.
