THE REAL ISSUES are that unfortunately the department of housing have TOO many RIGID POLICIES, they have a web site with their policies. when you deal with them they say we are all to be treated the same . well apart from the obvious we are not all the same its time for these rigid policies be reexamined by other professional non government people that deal with homelessness and peoples real housing needs then we would have a much happier community , much less abuse as i believe after working as a community support worker for and in aged care for most of my working life that you can accommodate peoples needs in a much more humane way then a government body can. then maybe they can drop their tittle as officers we can then move on to a much happier association . there are many reasons why people need accommodation and can not obtain it by themselves for what ever reason the department needs to get with the times . give people real choice and there is no reason for complaint. they should also be more up front with the fact that some departmental staff actually live in departmental housing who chooses their accommodation? so are we all treated the same? oh and don't ask for anything like gas or electric or brick or fibro or even that you don't want steps because of health reasons so you don't have to suffer any more dishevel then you have all could be housed more fairly with much less disruption, as this is seen as asking for the moon .im sorry but i have owned my house once upon a time and for the last 15 years i have privately rented im am not here by choice and if there wasn't so much delay in my son and I's length of time we were homeless i would of regained my health by now and maybe i could of got back to work part time and get away from this body of people that make indiscriminate choices for us. the whole process left me feeling like i was a criminal and still am,all because of something that was out of my control . whilst i do not agree with this , i do see where he is coming from and no he doesn’t have rights to ask for a exclusive address he doesn’t even have the grass roots .I myself found myself homeless last year with my 14 year old son. this came about from domestic violence the whole thing was out of my control. it was hard enough even though i am disabled and have lived in this area since approx 1981 i didn’t have any right really to choose where i wanted to live even though i have resided in this western suburbs area for more than 29 years . i have no support around me as i have too far to travel to catch up .
