£0 remaining for a living room carpet
M is a single mum who was in temporary accommodation, due to a breakdown in marriage. She has been given a new property which has concrete floors, and is in need of a living room carpet as this is the main room they will all be using. M has applied for a job (and hopefully will get it) as she had to leave her last employment, due to moving to a different area. M, who is waiting for her benefits to be processed, is stressed due to all the life changes she is experiencing.

MO is rough sleeping as he has had a tricky immigration situation that means he has not been able to access benefits or housing for years. He has finally been approved for pre-settled status and can now apply for a driving licence and look for work. Unfortunately, MO’s benefits will still take a while to resolve. Because of this, he would like to apply for some funding to help him get his driving licence, as this will be a step in the right direction for him to resolve his homelessness.
