I'm ex military and have done a bit of sofa surfing as I approached my time of leaving the forces after 22 years. Marriage breakdown, loss of military accommodation, refused access to my own home, total uninterest from local council and housing association. If there was somewhere like these barracks was available for a short period, that would give some breathing space and reduce stress for those, who though no fault of their own in many cases, have nowhere else to go until they find their feet in civvy street.

Common sense - something governments don't generally have. Hope that's not the case here!
