My Forever Home Update

As everyone knows I am calling my new place when it comes along my ‘forever home‘ and this is a current update as to what is happening with this.

As Housing NSW is restricted in the type of property and location they can offer me my forever home it is still a waiting game as to when it is going to come up. As of right now, we are at 2 years 6 months and 3 days. That is a hell of a long time to be waiting and with my mental health in this little tiny dog box, which my Doctor wants me out of as it is doing my mental health not the best. But the way I am looking at it at the moment is it is better than sleeping in a park for the last over 2 1/2 years.

Why is there such a hold up in getting my forever home?
This is simple, they have to give me a ground floor property and with no to little stairs (max. 3). This is due to my health needs and the way my feet and legs are. They also don’t want to put me into a place that is full of drug addicts and alcoholics, as this would not be a good environment for me and everyone thinks that this type of environment I would fail in. Which is what no one, including myself wants.

So for now the waiting for my forever home continues. They are finally talking with my caseworkers and actively seeking a place at the moment, there are apparently 2 people at Housing NSW actively seeking. So with any luck, it won’t be too long until I can finally settle down for the rest of my life, however long that shall be.

As always, I will keep you updated on this when news comes to hand. Thank you for your continued support and words of love and encouragement. They keep my going in the hard times.
