Stop this cruel eviction!
The Issue
PEOPLE with learning disabilities living in supported housing are facing eviction — with only seven days' notice.
Due to a disagreement between the IW Council and the Ryde House Group, the private provider that runs Ryde House, 12 residents could be forced to leave next week.
The council, which provides funding for residents' care and support, said the company had given notice to the authority stating its intention to give seven days' notice to the residents.
One of the residents, Julie Boulton, has lived at Ryde house for 14 years. She needs one to one care as she has the mental age of a child, she is unable to walk, dress herself or cook for herself.
This is just ONE resident, there are 11 more!!
These residents are not even aware that soon they will be evicted from their HOME, with no set place to go and could even see them being rehoused on the mainland. If this happens not only will they be suffering with the fact that they will have to adjust to a new home, friends, care staff, but will also be miles away from their families!
The residents will NOT cope well with this change and their wellbeing and mental stability should be the top priority!!
PLEASE PLEASE stop this eviction!!
