The New Jersey section 8 waiting list is long
Posted: Wed Jan 01, 2014 8:04 am
Am on Section 8 (HUD). I have been living at present address in New Jersey since 2004. Complex has approved my moving to a first floor apartment because of health reasons. My Case Worker has told me I cannot take apartment because my voucher has changed from 3 bedrooms to 1 bedroom. I am on 3rd floor and my portions is covering the extra 2 bedrooms. But I still have my daughter with me and on lease. She receives Disability and so do I.
Moving to another apartment would be cheaper and will help with me climbing all these stairs, which leaves me more fatigue and in pain. But, because new guidelines myself and daughter (17 years old) which has had her room since we located, and also will keep her in present school to graduate next year. My case worker says I am unable to move because Voucher will not allow me. The complex has approved Doctor's notes but section 8 won’t. Even when cost is less expensive. Cannot get a phone number to speak to someone in New Jersey about him. Please advise me. Thank you.
