Hello friends and supporters. As I am approaching 1000 signatures, I wanted to outline specific measures I want the council to change to ensure vulnerable people in emergency housing are living in the right conditions to meet their individual needs. I really believe in this and have asked Shelter to assist me with this campaign and me personally with my legal battle against the council for negligence. Please would you share my petition again to help me get the 1250 signatures required to present this petition at the next council meeting. Here is a twitter friendly link http://tinyurl.com/Brighton-homeless-hotel-shame I really want to raise an issue that people simply do not understand is happening. 1. Homemove Allocations for vulnerable persons in priority need with a duty of care should be awarded a higher banding than band C (the general band) when placed in Emergency Housing. I am looking for a band A priority. 2. More inspections of Emergency Accomendation to ensure the living standards meets the needs of the people occupying them. 3. The council to adopt a plan to bring emergency housing into public ownership by 2020. They MUST pledge to stop funding private landlords who only have an interest in profit. 4. I want the council to ask all applicants to complete surveys with all emergency housed people to ensure they have a voice. 5. The right to food, is a human right protecting the right for people to feed themselves in dignity, The council must ensure that emergency housing adequately meets the individual's dietary needs. The current conditions do not allow for a healthy diet which can be a huge issue for vulnerable people. 6. I want the council to be radical and rather than spend millions of tax payers money in private sector emergency and temporary housing, they should build more storage container homes after the success of the BHT scheme in Brighton. 7. I want the council to ensure that all persons in emergency accomendation have access to the internet for free. 8. To revoke the rules on no visitors. Vulnerable people are isolated enough and this in my opinion is discrimination. Even Prisoners are allowed visitors. 9. For persons who are vulnerable the council MUST provide them with secure social hosing to ensure they are able to live life free from FEAR and outside the Private Sector Property Scam. 10. Ensure hot water is available in emergency housing for persons to wash in comfort.
