_92.webp "A homeless woman says living in a bus shelter with her boyfriend and mum is safer than being put in temporary housing with drug addicts.<br/><br/>Destiny Mitchell moved into the 3m (9.8ft) by 1m (3.2ft) glass and metal shelter in Selly Oak, Birmingham, seven months ago.<br/><br/>The 26-year-old, who has autism, lives in the disused bus stop on Bristol Road with boyfriend Ryan, 31, and her 44-year-old mum.<br/><br/>Destiny says the council offered them temporary accommodation but she does not want to be separated from her mum who also has autism.<br/><br/>The trio have tried to give the graffiti-covered shelter home comforts with a carpet, drawers and even an old pair of Super Mario curtains where the timetables were once displayed.<br/><br/>They have also been given garden chairs, a bin and sleeping bags from wellwishers.<br/><br/>She says the three of them use sellotape and cardboard given to them by students to patch up leaks in the roof and walls of their shelter.<br/><br/>Destiny says they slept in a doorway of a Greggs but moved into the bus stop after being moved on by the police. <br/><br/>Speaking today, she said: “When we found this place it was my idea to create this living space. <br/><br/>“Before I lived in a bus stop, I was sleeping in a blanket on the floor, but I didn't feel safe. <br/><br/>“I’ve been living here for seven months. Before that we lived near Greggs before the police moved us on. <br/><br/>“Because we’re not students they don't have housing for us. <br/><br/>“There’s three of us in here, me, my partner and my mum. This is all new to me, I used to live in a tent. <br/><br/>“I’ve been homeless for two years off and on. At one point our tent got burnt down.<br/><br/>“I’m from Wolverhampton and I had a flat but bad things happened and I had to leave it and was made homeless. That’s when we came to Selly Oak. <br/><br/>“I saw this bus stop out of use. It was cold and starting to rain. We’ve had to sellotape the roof to stop the rain getting in. <br/><br/>“The students help me sellotape the windows, I’ve got a chest of drawers, a carpet.”<br/><br/>The family will now have to move out after Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) announced it was demolishing the bus shelter within weeks.<br/><br/>Destiny added: “They’ve said we’ve got a month left and they’re going to destroy it. <br/><br/>“I’ve been in here a long time, I don’t want them to destroy my home, we haven't got anywhere else to live. <br/><br/>“If the council doesn’t help us we’re going to try and move into another bus stop. <br/><br/>“We wanted to get a caravan. We don’t want to go into a shared house because of drug users. We don’t want that, we don't use drugs. It's not safe for us.<br/><br/>“They are saying they won’t house my mum and us together. My mum’s disabled.<br/><br/>“I want them to house us before they take the bus shelter down.<br/> <br/>“I just want to make sure we all stay together as a family, that’s all I want.<br/><br/>“Nobody gives me any money. I haven’t got any clothes, I haven't got a bra on. <br/><br/>“No one gives me any money to buy what I need. They give me food but I need clothes too.")

_single-adults-need-income-of-31536-to-cover-essential-outgoings-study-says.webp "Adults living alone believe they need an annual income of at least £31,536 to cover their outgoings and still afford essentials such as food, clothes and hygiene products.<br/><br/>But with the UK’s average salary of £29,669 somewhat short of this, many feel they are being pushed ever closer to hygiene poverty.<br/><br/>The scale of the current cost of living crisis has been illustrated after a survey of 2,000 adults found one in four people living alone are struggling with the current financial crisis.<br/><br/>As a result, 56 per cent of those have had to make difficult decisions, such as whether to pay their rent over buying food or hygiene items.<br/><br/>And 52 per cent of that same demographic have had to stop socialising, while 14 per cent have even gone without everyday items like toilet roll or period products.<br/><br/>The research was commissioned by hygiene and health company Essity, in partnership with Unilever, Haleon, Kimberly Clark and Edgewell, to launch a Tesco in-store promotion throughout April and May, where customers buy two products and a hygiene product will be donated to charity In Kind Direct.<br/><br/>Rosanne Gray, CEO of In Kind Direct, said: ''Many people experiencing hygiene poverty face the impossible decision to heat, eat or keep clean on a daily basis, and unfortunately more and more people are being pushed into this position.<br/> <br/>“We know hygiene poverty disproportionately affects those already struggling, but the research shows that financial difficulties are now impacting everyone.”")
