Hi bit of a long and embarrassing post but looking for someone to point me in the right direction. My Father has been homeless for the last 2 years and has been living in a hostel during this time. He has been on the council housing list for the duration of this time. He has severe mental health issues with multiple suicidal attempts because of this, he also has no contact with his children (my brother who is only 15 years old) and his grandchildren who are babies because the hostel does not allow visitation. During this time he’s also become an alcoholic and was treated for suspected alcohol related liver disease and is currently in recovery for the last few weeks. He has been offered today a HMO which he’s been told he’s unable to decline. I am massively afraid (so is he) that he will relapse again whilst being placed with 4 men he don’t know. It also means that he won’t have relationships with his children as we would not feel comfortable visiting this place, and I would not allow my children (2 and 9 months) to visit this place with men who I don’t know. He has been very upset and told me he cannot do it as his mental health is soo bad at the moment. I’m going to try and appeal it for him but is there anything I can do to try and help him? He don’t mind having the smallest home/flat and doesn’t care where it is Aslong as he can have his children and grandchildren to visit. I’m afraid that if he has to take this my father will end up dead but I’m just not sure which direction to go in! Please no judgement just some helpful comments please, thank you!
