“The Home Truths report focuses on the experiences of three groups of women in the housing market: single mothers, women over 50 and elderly carers of disabled offspring”
I’m convinced the report is right and makes a valid case for “housing first” but calling any group of people, offspring? Please SMH, you know how to do better. We really don’t need even little things to dehumanize our experience any further. We are none of us part of a breading program.
How would I have done it? Put the same sentence together ..
“The Home Truths report focuses on the experiences of three groups of women in the housing market: single mothers, women over 50 and elderly carers of people (living) with disability.
If you want to make sure we know that the carers are, in fact also the parents say elderly parents of people with disability.
People come first, as people. Then the impairment. Subtle yes, but dignified. Therefore vital when you have the responsibility of being a national voice
