Overwhelmed and Without Help

freddyT9533 October 6th, 2021

As an adult almost 60 I am in need of living someplace on my own. I've lived with my idiot parents for the past 7 years due to Social Security "losing" my medical records and stop paying my benefits. This has somewhat been corrected and I'll have the money to move away next month.

My issue is with HUD and whoever that can explain where I can move to and when. I've found a HUD link to councelors who have never responded to my calls/emails. I'm not picky. I want to live someplace away from where I currently live. It's my understanding that in order to get housing assistance that I need to apply with each county in my state in hopes of finding someplace. With 254 counties in my state this is too much for me. With the waiting lists of a number of years I don't see this helping me in the near future anyway.

@freddyT9533, I am so sorry you are going through this. It sounds like you are in a difficult situation but the fact that you are still here and fighting is something to celebrate! Just keep hanging in there!

The good news is that after searching for the needle in a pile of needles online I was able to apply for housing vouchers in at least three areas. Even better is that my preferred area to move to is a smaller community. This means I will have less of a wait time before I can regain my freedom.

Thank you for your kind support 🤗
