This is good insight. Arent there homeless hotels?
The housing crisis has always been a huge problem in Kernow but it blew up after covid restrictions preventing you from kicking out tenants ended. This conveniently came at the same time of encouraging staycations and the G7 summit. So greedy landlords have turfed out families to convert to air b&bs for these very reasons, more money. To put it in perspective I live on a 1970s housing estate, there is an air b&b in my street. Madness. Even more madness is next door to me has been empty since September (private landlord) and I don’t doubt they’re sprucing it up for the holiday season as they’ve been coming out to do rubbish clearance/the garden etc. when previously they were notoriously neglectful of the property and the unlucky tenants, it only has one night storage heater in the whole place and was full of mould!
Some homeless converted shipping container homes have been opened up but it’s not touching the sides of the demand. Massive estates are still being built but the “affordable housing” is a farce.
So the chances of marcus getting his own gaff is minimal at best, even in a supported living, he’s not a high need. He has two parents who he has contact with and siblings. The council will literally call them up and try and mediate him returning home or to one of them with a monetary incentive rather than continue to bank roll travelodge for the foreseeable future, but if a place comes up I don’t doubt Carcrash will find a way of using the legislation to his advantage and scoring a gaff. Sorry to go on a bit I’ve a relative in housing.
