A single mum searching for a permanent home for almost three years says things are proving to be "impossible" after being holed up in 13 different temporary homes.

Rosaria Cappuccio lived in social housing for 13 years in Lincoln Avenue, Hingham, through South Norfolk Council but was evicted more than two and a half years ago due to anti-social behaviour issues.

Ms Cappuccio however believes that the "serious mental health issues" of her 12-year-old son had an unfair role to play in the eviction and has since been to 13 different locations - including Great Yarmouth, Thetford and Norwich.

The 50-year-old said: "I had a terrible time with the neighbours and was evicted.

"I feel like that's been held over me ever since and been pushed from pillar to post meaning we never know where we're going to be day-to-day."

Saffron Housing Trust are the appointed landlords of the housing supplied by South Norfolk Council.

Lynne Riddoch, director of tenant services for Saffron, said: "Eviction is always the last resort for us when dealing with cases of anti-social behaviour.

"However, we have a duty of care to the community and where we're confident eviction is proportionate and necessary, we'll take action based on evidence received.

"It is for the court to then decide if eviction is the appropriate action.

"Anyone evicted would need to re-apply to their local authority, each of which has their own eligibility and assessment criteria."

The constant travelling has caused severe strain on Ms Cappuccio's mental health and her son's education.

She added: "My son has special education needs (SEN) and is getting deprived of an education he sorely needs and deserves because of the situation we've been placed in.

"We just want somewhere we can call home but we don't seem to be getting anywhere."
