    Hi it's all private landlords where I live. You have to find your own accommodation. I am disabled but If I was an alcoholic or a drug addict I would be classed as vulnerable, but I am neither. I found this out at local housing office. Just a middle aged woman with family that is moving out. I can not afford the rent that I will lose because my son has left school.
