The CASECOM meeting features multiple people talking primarily about the housing crisis and the problem with halfway homes and their punitive nature. A young man who works as a receptionist at the Law Centre talks about his housing crisis and his refusal to live in Burley House because he’s worried about his child getting dysentery. Another woman notes how she knows people who own private property yet choose to live in council housing. A man says: “Halfway houses are there to make people feel ashamed to be homeless.” At one point, the meeting becomes heated as a local council worker defends halfway houses as a temporary solution. A man talks about the importance of setting up a press release for publicity. They end the meeting planning for the agenda for the next meeting.
