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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
