A family of 14 spent eight weeks in a hotel after their former landlord sold their home.
The Donoghue family took up most of the floor of a Belfast hotel while they waited for a property to be found.
They claim they had been made homeless from their previous property after their landlord sold the house and they had to move out, Belfast Live reported.
While the city's Housing Executive tried to find them a new place to stay, the Donoghues spent eight weeks living out of suitcases.
Today they were told that they have a new place to call their own.
Mum of 12 Tessa Donoghue has said her family have been "left with nothing" following their eviction, as they were unable to find anywhere to store their belongings and had to leave them behind when they went to the hotel.
She said they had to live off takeaways and were unable to cook or store their own food in the hotel for health and safety reasons.
To make matters worse, Tessa is expecting her 13th child in February.
The mum has been told he may require heart surgery once he is born.
Tessa said: "The past eight weeks have been hell for us living in this hotel.
"Because we were unable to find a storage unit for our possessions, we have had to leave everything behind and now we have nothing.
"No furniture, fridge, freezer, beds or anything.
"While the hotel have been amazing to us, giving us our own rooms and nearly an entire floor to ourselves, the children are scared to be alone in the rooms by themselves and come into our room to sleep with their sleeping bags.
"We can't do any of our own cooking, as we don't have a fridge to store fresh food or even anything to cook it with, so we have had to survive off takeaways, which has made this entire ordeal very expensive.
"Not to mention the fact we have to pay to park our cars outside the hotel everyday.
"It has really taken its toll on us and now in the run up to Christmas we have no idea how we can make it special for our children, because any money we would have had for presents and things is gone trying to get by these eight weeks.
"All we want to do is get settled, and with my pregnancy and the condition of my child, all of this stress cannot be doing my me or my baby any good."
The Housing Executive managed to find accommodation for the family on Tuesday bringing them some relief over the festive period.
A spokesperson for the Housing Executive said: "We can confirm we have sourced a suitable, property for this family and they have accepted our offer of accommodation."
