I cried when I saw our new home had bare floorboards - I can't afford carpets

Kassie and her children were devastated to find bare floorboards in their new social housing property in Halifax, highlighting the issue of "carpet poverty." Many tenants, like Kassie, are left without floor coverings as landlords are not legally obligated to provide them. Charities like Noah's Ark Centre step in to help, offering free carpets to families in need. The government is considering proposals to require landlords to provide floor coverings in all rooms, aiming to improve living conditions for vulnerable households.
