I apply for public housing

[TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280]

There is a website on line where anyone can apply for housing. I decided to apply. I know there is a waiting list. I didn't want to apply for housing,but maybe once I'm called I can explain to them I don't want to be in housing. I want someone to help me do the process for section 8 so I can have my own apartment. Let's see what happens. My friend's mother it took 20 years to get into housing but cuz she wanted a certain place. Where she lives at I would take it with out thinking twice about it. That's like the best housing in Queens. That's the only place I would live. I feel safe now else where SMH... I want to live forever "let's put it that way" I don't want to deal with drug dealers in front of the building,trash,rude,and people that are gonna break in your home.

There are a lot of great housing out there from great foundations that have mile long waiting lists but in certain cases they can get you apartments pretty quickly, and based on income with mostly everything included.

Not every public housing program is in unsafe area. You just have to do your research you can find some pretty nice apartments.

The ones I been to are very bad. My sister lives in one. The main door is broken,and been broken for many years. The halls are dirty. It's just straight up bad. The one my hubby adult son mother lives in it's the worst. Drug dealers,broken door,cops are in & out all day long. It stinks oh boy.... I'm scare for my life seriously..... There has to be a better place. I'm searching,and I'm willing to drive in the day,and night and see what goes on before getting into any housing if I'm ever approve. I rather live in a regular apartment with section 8 cuz I can pick my own place area,and I don't have to worry if I'm gonna get killed or my kids will be harm. I'm sorry but I'm just not used to the low income life,and I know I might not have a choose but I rather feel safe,and stress over having to watch my kids 24/7 cuz something might happen throwing the garbage down the garbage thing. My kids don't know what a housing project or low income or not having a cell phone computer TV on 24/7 or having mcdonald almost when they want. I want to give them the same life they are used to within my budget
