Last week HAAG launched it's new film Feels Like Home, in which five of our members tell their own stories. For this weeks show, we hear excerpts from the film as Bruno and Joan talk about what it was like to experience the risk of homelessness in private rental, and how finding secure, affordable housing changed their lives.
