A hardworking husband and father has 10 days until his family of three is on the streets.

Posted: Jul. 21, 2023 5:46PMCHEK reporter Kori Sidaway speaking with Michael Sharcott, whose family is facing homelessness after receiving an eviction notice for landlord use.“It’s out of control, there’s no availability. The costs of the unit are outside of our budget to start with and there are 30 families deep trying to rent them,” said Michael Sharcott.

“It’s a full-time job trying to find housing for us. We quickly found out three-bedrooms were out of our price range. Then we started to look at two-bedrooms, but there seems like there’s none available, with landlords preferring to rent to students,” said Sharcott, who has now resorted to looking at one-bedroom units for their family of three.

But Sharcott is getting desperate. His family of three is just 10 days away from being homeless with an eviction date of Aug. 1. , to afford a one-bedroom apartment in British Columbia without spending more than 30 per cent of their pay, someone has to be earning $27-54 an hour.
