Canberran Monike Kemp and her son sleep on couches at her mum's home, having spent two years waiting for a public housing property.
The mum said she has asked multiple times for an appropriate property after Housing ACT offered her a two-bedroom apartment to share with her son and disabled sister in a residential complex beset with drugs and alcohol.
"Where do I put [my son]? If I put him on the couch, do I sleep on the floor? Even if my sister turned [the second] room into a bedroom for my son, still where do I sleep?" Ms Kemp said.
