I have an estranged older brother who I have not heard from in over 5 years. Long story that I won’t go into. He is around but I don’t know where he currently lives. In the past, he has lived on the streets and in a car. Many attempts were made to provide him with social housing. This eventually failed as they were usually shared accommodation and he was unable to live by any rules. He has always been a survivor, living with mental illness but he is getting up there in years. He wants no contact with my brother and I so we are unable to help him. Unfortunately there are a lot of homeless just like him. Trust issues play a big factor in how they choose to live.
