00:00 So I'm talking to Karen Audley of Nomad and you've called a meeting today at the Sheffield

00:09 Town Hall to talk about Sheffield's housing crisis. Do you want to say about what exactly

00:13 you're worried about?

00:14 So Nomad is a homeless charity that helps single people moving to shared accommodation.

00:15 In September we found out that the government policy had changed and that new refugees were

00:16 being asked to leave their accommodation after seven days. We're a little bit shocked by

00:17 that because we thought that was a bit of a shame. But we're very happy that we've

00:18 got a new charity that's helping people to move to shared accommodation.

00:19 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

00:20 shared accommodation.

00:21 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

00:22 shared accommodation.

00:23 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

00:30 shared accommodation.

00:31 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

00:32 shared accommodation.

00:33 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

00:34 shared accommodation.

00:35 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

00:36 shared accommodation.

00:37 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

00:38 shared accommodation.

00:39 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

00:40 shared accommodation.

00:41 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

00:42 shared accommodation.

00:44 shared accommodation.

00:45 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to

01:06 shared accommodation.

01:30 We have done everything we can to get private landlords interested in working with us because

01:35 we understand the limitation of council.

01:36 We understand if you're in non-priority need that you're not going to get a more

01:37 than council flat because they're not available.

01:38 So quite often the only option is shared housing, which is given the cost of living crisis,

01:49 is an absolutely affordable option.

01:53 We have moved heaven and earth for advertising.

01:56 We have done everything we can to get more people, more landlords to work with us.

02:00 So I heard about Siam Mic, so I joined Siam Mic where we could talk about this together.

02:06 Then I was invited to another meeting where some of the councillors were there and some

02:10 of them said we need an event, so we were organising it.

02:13 We wanted to get people together to not talk about oh dear this is shocking, but to say

02:19 this is what we're going to do.

02:21 One of the people we invited, he's a plumber, one of our plumbers, and he just said this

02:27 is my city, this is my responsibility, so we all need to get together.
