Do I go on a waiting list?



Recommended Posts

I notice my teenager very unhappy & it's breaking my heart :( since she is a minor she can't leave the house until 18. I'm willing to apply for section 8 under spouse & child abuse. I don't know where I go to apply. Is this the same place you would apply for housing? Should I start looking now since I heard there is a waiting list? I'm willing to apply and let her live in the apartment with the boyfriend until I have enough money to go live in my place. The lease and everything will be under my name,but she can pay & the boyfriend the rent requested.

We got 2 years to figure this out.

If you wanna help me out with locations & where I should go.

I live in New York city queens area & I don't want to leave queens. I want the most a four bedroom apartment but willing to settle for a 3 bedroom. I do want & need my own bedroom :) kids can share :)

Thanks

I know every state is different but here they only open Section 8 applications one day a year and the list to obtain a voucher is 3, 4, 5 years long.

Wow! So no matter the situation that's the waiting period? Wow!!! 5 years its long but doable we just have to suck it up if worst comes to worst. If anything they can rent a room somewhere until we can have our own place. Better then being on the streets.

That's how section 8 is. Emergency case or not. Got to wait.

Look into some foundations that have housing all around. They can get you apartment's fairly quickly, all rent based on income.

I live in an apartment complex that the Caleb Foundation owns and rents to me on how much income is coming in.

I apply for this place called HUD is for low income family. The rent goes according to your income. I'm researching,and applying all over especially if it's going to take years.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
