Need urgent housing
I have basically been evicted from where I'm living. I have been living here for 16 years. I was $300 behind in rent, had water arrears, had cats which breached my contract even though my oldest cat is 11 but now the owner says I've breached as he wants possession back to do up & sell. I have a 13 year old daughter & we don't have a place to go. Winz don't have any emergency housing at this time. I'm so stressed. Does anyone have any advice or can anyone help me out? Please.
