Im now 25 but I was luckily at age 24 i was assisted to move out of a horrific family situation with the help of council, I was living in a leaky cold static caravan in my parents back garden. Only problem is that they lived in a rural village with no bus route, roads where not safe for bikes as their where a lot of farm machinery which was operated by lets say individuals on specific substances on the roads .my family refused to assist me in getting anywhere and i am not allowed to drive. they practical abused me and forced me on benefits to pay for family of sixs electric, water, council tax, internet. It got to the stage i couldn't afford heating as i could get gas or afford the electric.
It took over a year but i eventually got a top floor flat with a housing association block of flats, they gave me the support of a tenancy coach, and got help from social integrated housing to set up bills and build basic life skills.
I would of never been able to move if i wasn't supported through the process and benefits to be able to afford where i am living know.
