Starshine,
You posted to contact or visit the management office of each apartment building that interest you. But search for subsitized apartment below. Are you saying, search from a subsitized apartment list and contact the office OR find an apartment and ask the management office do they accept assistance from HUD? Also, you posted to contact more than one agency because of the waiting list. I called the housing authority here and was told I need to contact the office in the city I will be relocating. I am little lost because how can I apply to more than one agency based on what they told me last week? Based on what you know, was I mislead? Finally, I did not qualify for any type of assistance here based on my income. At the moment, I receive unemployment in which I know I will qualify but then again when I start working, my income will be a HUGE difference. If I am fortunate enough to receive help from HUD will I be responsible for reporting my income change within a few weeks or will everything remain the same until recertification which I am thinking maybe 6 months to a year
You have to decide what is more important a roof over your head, food to eat OR homeless wondering where your next meal will come from. The best care if from mom, but mom need to be realistic and make the most of the time you have with your children. DON'T HAVE ANY MORE CHILDREN UNTIL YOU CAN SUPPORT THEM WITHOUT ADDITIONAL STRESS!!!! Are you living in HUD housing which can be based on your income? If you go to school, call DHR and see if they have a self sufficient program which help you during school, some have received a vehicle and they also get help with daycare expenses. Also any money from school will not be counted toward your income. With that in mind, how about some work study hours? Only get paid once a month, but it will help. Also, have you thought about a student loan? Put yourself on a tight budget, do not buy anything unnecessary, shop at thrift stores and you can make it. It will be tough, but you can, I did. Each state is different, you just have to find out what is out there and claim it to help yourself become a better person.
