Be taken on a personal journey through hotel accommodation and learn how the law affected the homeless community when it was illegal to be on the street. What options are there for people after the hotel stay? What are peers' and workers' final reflections?
Episode Two of Homeless in Hotels is all about services. What opportunities and struggles did peers have accessing services in hotel lockdown? How did support workers adapt? We meet some new peers and support workers Sarah and Andy.
In this episode we meet three peers who tell us what life was like in the hotels after living on the street or in insecure housing. They paint a picture of the day-to-day social scene and reflect on their substance use and mental health challenges during hotel lockdown. We also meet support workers James and Rosie who share their reflections on the hotel accommodation scheme.
