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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
