“I’ve been struggling to find a place to live long term in Gero for years but I was recently at risk of complete homelessness. A friend of mine took me down to RAW and told me to get their help. I did and within a week and a bit, I’d been approved for a house. A big shout out and thank you to Erica who was the brilliant woman at RAW who helped me!”
