Living on social security retirement only
I am in need of affordable housing. I am surely renting a room from my ex-husband but it is only temporary. I receive social security retirement as I am 67 but since I have a felony charge against me I am having difficulty finding housing. I have been denied subsidized housing from several local agencies due to my criminal record (although it was for a non-violent and non-drug related crime). I am becoming very distressed and could use any assistance you can give me.

We do have some suggestions for you and ex-husband. But since a felony charge, your options are limited. Criminal record does make it more challenging. But find options if/when social security has been cut, and programs are here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... s_cut.html

Re: Living on social security retirement only
Hello, I'm an elder living on my monthly social security retirement check of 1502. Majority of that goes to rent which is 466 because of late fees I have to pay because of how late in the month my check comes. I have to also buy food mostly from this check because I only get 16$ in food stamps. I have other expenses in retirement to pay for with my social security check such as transportation, medical attention and prescriptions, and other basic needs for my home. I barely have enough to stretch. I need resources to help with rent and possibly medical and prescription expenses. This would help me bring more food in my household and take care other things.
