Homeless tomorrow

Post Reply New Topic

...Ultra-briefly , I will HAVE to make myself homeless tomorrow to avoid improper behavior towards me/my money , and I likely won't be able to post for a bit ! !! !! !! !!
( ask Tahiti )

...I am , alas , homeless again , now .

I sent a package. It should arrive Friday or Saturday.
Don't get excited, it's not much. I'm on the brink of homeless myself.

...I am reviving this but can't say anything else now...

Good to hear at least that.

...Thank you , I'm not full-D HL right now , BTW , I can't search for my old posts readily anymore ! !! !! !! !!

I'd offer the couch in the basement but I live VERY VERY far away. I'll give you instead... I don't know what the winters are like for you but I sincerely hope you don't freeze to death while alone in an alley. That's happened in this area so many times...

section 8 is not free housing

i get section 8 and what you pay for rent is a percent of your income

percent of income is not the same thing as free

...I'm reviving this again .
As I said?? , I am not full-D HL right now , but it is a , specifically , temporary room .
I tend , too , that , even when my feet get better , I might need to " DO SOME DRAMA " to get my money back ! !! !! !!
One thing that people who replied to me didn't seem to see , in their saying " Go to a town where things are cheaper ! " is that , yes , some thi9ngs might be cheaper elsewhere , certainly...But , really , " getting to the city line and past " and getting a new set of clothes , a suitcase , a nailclipper and a book , so to speak , would tend to use up all my immediate money even IF I went somewhere sight unseen .
Two guys sandwiching me are talking about football , so...! !! !! !! !!

...I've more to say re: this - To-morrow it's US Thanksgiving , I'll likely not get 2 a 'puter til' Sat. , tho .
I'm not fully HL now , however .

I don't know what to say ASS-P.
How do you manage to live your day to day life nowadays?

...At this point , I'm looking to be - yes homeless to-morrow
People - One person , anyway - steal from me in my temporary room , the hospital's staff refuses to do anything about giving me my money back , and lies - really - about it , they push things on me medically that not only won't help but I believe will be counter-productive , a medical person " joked " about committing me , maybe they'll listen to me some now...

...I am homeless now , and have been for about a week .
I will be 50 my next birthday .

...Still homeless at this time , " all I've got's hanging on my back " , not sufficiently James Dean/" hunky hobo "-looking to make the best of it , alas ! !

Section 8 is NOT free!! !! !! The only free housing is:

1. CHARITY(RARE and usually conditional)
2. TEMPORARY(usually under special conditions)
3. MISSION(Often limited to a certain population and to get you back on your feet)
4. HUD(USUALLY in BAD areas and requires that you care for the property)

Section 8 is subsidized low rent housing and pays 80% of the cost. And I am SHOCKED how hard THAT can be to get into. BTW Some Section 8 programs are, ironically, offered through HUD property. They get a reduced rate, improve, cleanup, and maintain the property, and rent out apartments around the market rate, so section 8 people pay about 20% of the going rate.

BTW If you have no feeling in the feet, you better WATCH IT!! !! ! Lack of care of such injuries can cause a total loss of the legs, or even a painful DEATH! MOST people are FORCED to take such care because they will be in severe pain LONG before it gets that bad. People with diabetes mellitus generally have their feet checked to prevent this, and it is apparently a COMMON problem.

...Not homeless now...But , back in the same spot , the " pld/reformed drunk " in the next room steals from me. ..
