URGENT APPEAL: Room, sofa, or dry space needed in Brighton/Hove from tomorrow (Sat 14 Nov) – 55yo male, sober, happy to help with chores/DIY Hi everyone, I’m putting this out in hope that someone in our community might be able to help or point me in the right direction. Due to a sudden council housing decision, I lost my accommodation last week. I’ve spent every penny I have staying in the cheapest B&Bs I could find since then, but tonight is the last night I can afford. From tomorrow morning (Saturday), I will be street homeless in this freezing weather, and I’m genuinely scared. About me: I’m a 55-year-old man—quiet, polite, respectful, and reliable. I do not drink alcohol and do not use drugs. I keep to myself, clean up after myself, and am very handy—I’m more than happy to help out with housework, gardening, DIY, pet sitting, or odd jobs in exchange for a safe, dry roof over my head. What I’m looking for: Literally anything—a spare room, a sofa, a heated outbuilding/shed, or a live-in arrangement. Rent: I am fully eligible for Housing Benefit / Universal Credit housing element (which can be paid directly to a landlord or homeowner) and I am happy to file the claim right in front of you so you know the rent is covered. My only hurdle is that I have no cash upfront for a deposit. If you have a spare space, know a compassionate live-in landlord, or can help in any way, please message me directly. Even sharing this post could keep me off the streets tomorrow. Thank you so much for reading.
