Hi im applying for an adaption facilities grant for my 13 year old autistic son..im trying to get a single story extention put on the back of my house because i have six children two with ASD and i own a three bedroom house..two children are just turned two , one of these is my granddaughter which i have an SGO on and i have a 2 month old baby..i also have an 11 year old boy and a 6 year old girl with ASD...these are the six children..im going to have to change my living room into a bedroom and need a bedroom for my 13 year old son down stairs and a living room cause i need the living space with all these kids...i cant afford to move by buying bigger and cant sell to be rehomed by the council cause they wont rehouse me due to making myself homeless..I cant have my son on a different level to myself cause he needs care through the night and the assurance that im close by...can anyone help with advice???

  • Hi..i bought my house with 3 children and being pregnant just over two years ago..i could fianchally afford to keep renting privately or emotionally because i had to keep moving..i couldnt afford to buy a bigger house, three bed was as much as i could afford..i had my baby then my eldest daughter had a baby, she ended up having a bit of a break down because she has a personality dissorder, so i had to take on my granddaughter to stop her from going into care..i then got pregnant again which was very unplanned as i didnt want anymore...this is how ive managed to get so over crowded ...im hitting every brick wall in regards to getting any help..ive applied for this grant but it doesnt look good cause he doesnt have a physical dissability.
