This petition is to address the urgent and heartbreaking situation involving a vulnerable 22-year-old. This young man has lived in the same house for 14 years, a place filled with memories and crucial stability. Sadly, his mother passed away unexpectedly in mid-September, a devastating loss compounded by the threat of losing his home. 

This individual is neurodivergent and struggles with mental health challenges. These issues have significantly deteriorated since his mother's passing, and the looming eviction only exacerbates them. His small support network and a caring neighbor who checks in on him are his lifelines right now, but neither can substitute for the stability of his long-time home.

Citizen Housing has denied him the right to succeed to the tenancy because the property has two bedrooms. However, this bureaucratic reasoning overlooks the real human cost. Eviction could cause irreparable harm to his mental health and well-being. He deserves time and space to grieve, to heal, and to rebuild his life without the additional trauma of losing his childhood home, filled with the love and effort that his mom put into creating.

It is vital that Citizen Housing reconsiders their position with compassion and an understanding of the unique challenges facing this young man. Homelessness would not only represent a gross injustice but would directly contravene his rights, given his disability status.

Join us in urging Citizen Housing to allow him to remain in his family home. Sign this petition to support compassion, understanding, and the right of every individual to live with dignity, especially in such a vulnerable time.
