Michelle, a Southwark Council tenant, has been waiting for 22 years for a safe home. Michelle relies on crutches and a wheelchair, but her hallways aren't wide enough, and her bath is not adapted so she can't use it safely. Most urgently, the lift to her second-floor flat often breaks down, meaning she's often trapped inside her flat. This is having a huge impact on Michelle's life. She can't move around her house safely, has missed multiple hospital appointments, and is kept awake at night with worry about what would happen if there was a fire and she couldn't get out of her building.
Last year ACORN won commitments from Southwark council to rehouse Michelle. But now Southwark councillors are backtracking on their promises, and Michelle is still trapped in her home.
