A Liverpool man in need of surgery was left homeless on the streets of the city for six months during the pandemic despite repeatedly asking the city council for help.
The man first became homeless in June 2020 and contacted Liverpool Council for help in the same month. He said he made two further calls to the local authority for help, but none were recorded until September.
Despite the police raising their concerns with the council about the deterioration of the man’s mental health, the man remained homeless on the streets of Liverpool until December 2020, when his sister took him to a different council area. This other council provided him with accommodation over the next four months, away from the Liverpool area where his children lived.
