Sixty year-old David was forced out of his home after a string of violent attacks on his South London flat. After three months sleeping rough and staying in temporary accommodation, he was moved into a hostel. Terrified of returning to his original home, David asked for help finding a safe place to live while at the hostel.
His support worker had heard of Real Lettings through a colleague and referred him to the scheme. After assessing his needs, the team helped David find a secure flat in Lewisham then provided training to help him deal with all aspects of the move. He has now been there for almost a year.
“I don’t know where I would have ended up without Real Lettings. I never thought I’d become homeless but in the end, I didn’t have a choice. I’d become a prisoner in my own home. I get on really well with my landlord and he’s been helpful getting things sorted out. I finally feel safe and secure, and am enjoying transforming the garden into somewhere where I can just sit and relax. I’m even considering planting a small vegetable patch next!”
