Ray Clements highlights the struggles faced by blind individuals in unsuitable housing, stating, 'When I moved to my brother's house, I had done an assessment to get a guide dog but because I was at my brother's house they had to pause the assessment until I had my own property.' He expresses the overwhelming burden of living in unstable conditions, which deeply affects his mental health and independence. This situation is unfortunately common for many in the social housing system.
The research revealing that 73 percent of those on social housing waiting lists suffer from health issues sparked concern. It underscores the urgent need for systemic change to prevent vulnerable individuals from enduring the prolonged distress of inadequate housing.
