Housing and Homeless Prevention: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Jan 2024)

It reads: "I am currently homeless. I have a full-time job. I am living out of my car in between work and seeing my four children. I have no money towards getting a deposit for a house. I am currently sitting in my car, with...
