This is the story of the Counihan-Sanchez family, which the household income is not enough to cover the cost of renting in the private sector and rely on housing benefits to make ends meet. At one time, they got their housing benefit cut completely which caused them to fall into arrears and lead to their evictions from their accommodation in Brent. They are an example of what many families will face in April 2013, when the bedroom tax and benefit cap will be introduced. The family decided to join forces with other supporters in Brent to fight back. Follow the family on the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cou...
