I eventually get through, and ask for emergency accommodation. Even though councils have been told to house all rough sleepers during lockdown, and the local authority is aware that he’s sleeping rough, Jakub is still on the street. After days of calling and emailing with no response, I decide to warn the council that if nothing changes, we will take legal action. It turns out the emergency accommodation we arranged yesterday was unsuitable. I arrange emergency accommodation, and try to reassure her that tomorrow will be different.
