A former teacher in Liverpool, Sofia Cox, is now homeless after being denied housing by local authorities. Cox, who previously worked in education, found herself stranded on the streets of the city after her housing benefits were suspended. The council cited a lack of local connections as the reason for refusing her request.
Cox, described as "distraught" by local media, has been living on the streets of Liverpool since the decision was made. She was left without any belongings, having to leave all her personal items behind. The situation has sparked public outrage, with critics accusing the local council of showing "zero empathy" toward her plight.
This is not the first time Cox has faced housing instability. Previous reports indicate she had struggled with mental health issues and had been in and out of temporary accommodations. Her case has drawn attention to the challenges faced by individuals with no stable local ties when seeking housing support. Authorities have not yet issued a formal statement on the matter, but the situation highlights growing concerns about access to social services for vulnerable individuals.
