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.
00:43 So we're very happy that we've got a new charity that's helping people to move to
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.
