Housing for larger families

The Issue

Bigger houses 

As a family of 9 and in temporary accommodation due to landlady selling her house 

We have found ourselves stuck in a 3 bedroom house, overcrowded and see no way out 

Having contacted our local mp and numerous local councillors nobody will help us move into a council house suitable or should I say big enough due to them only having 50 5 bedroom houses. 

Councils need to build larger houses for larger families who are in desperate need of space for children with emotional problems medical problems disabilities even adults facing their own problems.

Why should we (everyone in my situation)  have to live like this it's unfair and totally unacceptable,  we have to put up with fire risks due to having to block off fire escapes because we need spaces for our childrens beds.  

 

SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE MORE MONEY NEEDS TO BE GIVEN TO COUNCILS TO BUILD BIGGER HOUSES WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE FAMILIES ARENT JUST 1 CHILD OR 2
