I called the HUD it's some kind of housing. No one return my call. I its going to be a week. i'm making a move doing my part but no one is reaching out to me. I know I'm on a waiting list with NYCHA for June 2014 basically for an interview but what I need is section8 not public housing. My kids are afraid of the housing project yes I took them by a few of them. We also been out at night time that's worst I heard the mami let's go home. So I know for sure a housing project won't be good for my kids. We need to live in a regular building good area where they are not afraid. Looks like I have to stay in the same area but try to get section8 to view my case even if it takes longer to move out. I need to leave but not moving to be worst off. I want to leave proud with my head up & not have regrets of what did I do.

My question to you would be I know section8 is closed but in situation like mine domestic violence child abuse child ect... They have exceptions. Where do I go? How do I apply? Who do I talk to? I'm in NYC queens area.

Idk about NY but in jersey, u can get section 8 if the list is closed if you go to a shelter for a specified amount of time. Or you get TRA where your rent is paid for you for a year.

What's a TRA? I have to find out cuz if that's the only way to get section8 by entering a shelter that will have to wait a little while so I can put my stuff in a storage place & it could be there for months hope not over 12 months but I'm willing if that's what it takes thanks.

I call the HUD left a message it's almost 1 week and no one has return the call. Everything is a damn waiting list & it seems like in order for me to get anywhere a little faster is to go into a shelter with 3 kids. I wanted to leave my house going to a section8 apartment and taking my furniture with me. Only time will tell the out come of what I'm going to actually do cuz I'm honestly trying to avoid a housing project and the shelter.

I thought I replied the other day but my wifi was messed up. TRA is where they pay your rent for one year. Remember to apply for housing in further away places if youre willing to move. Don't forget about Jersey as well.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
