Disabled brother needs an apartment

Post by Trumper »

I and my husband take care of his disabled brother who have been diagnose with prostate cancer and it have been a challenge. I'm currently working at BJ warehouse and at 12.75 per hour I really can't afford much. I have signed up for SSI, but it takes a while to go through. We are currently living with his cousin in a two-bedroom apartment, and it so crowded that my brother-in-law is not currently getting the rest he needs due to his disability. He also has blood clots in both lungs. I truly need help.

I am on disability. My estranged husband just got put in jail. He was helping me with money. Now that he has lost his job and will be put away for at least 10 years I have no additional help. The current apartment I live in meets all my needs. They have an elevator and my wheelchair can fit through the doors. It also has security entrance and exit doors.

I'm currently a single father on disability. I have a young son and I'm looking for housing. At this moment I do work and have carried my job for over six years. I'm looking for assistance in finding an apartment for my son and me. And I was just made aware of home base and will like some information on how I can apply.

I am soon to be homeless. I can no longer afford the rental I am in, which is good for my disability. And need to get out as soon as possible. I have two kids no job. I receive child support and social security for my daughter. Someone else is taking over the lease I have so I will not owe any money but need to move out as soon as possible to a new apartment like in the next day. I do not have any money and I don't know what to do. Or how to do it. Other than get all my things into storage and me and my kids live in my truck until I can figure something out. I need help please for the disabled.

While security deposit help is rare in San Bernardino, you can call around. It is more likely that some agency will offer you either a rent subsidy, or they may place you into some type of affordable housing that is focused on the disabled. But try the agencies in San Bernardino, and click more information.

I am mentally disabled and receive social security disability benefits. I currently rent a room at a private residence in Crestline, CA but have been asked to make other housing arrangements as the owner does not want me to live in her home anymore due to issues related to my mental illness.
Crestline is in a rural area in the San Bernardino National Forest where housing options are limited. I would need assistance with the security deposit and possibly short term help with paying the monthly rent. I am grateful for any information you can provide that would help my current housing issue.

Me my husband and 4 year old daughter is facing homelessness due to rental payment. We recently lost our vehicle due to mechanical problems and because of that my husband was fired for being late. We are 22 days late on our rent and have to pay 550.00 by March 23 and 550.00 again on the first or we are evicted. I'm so scared. I'm disabled but just applied for benefits so that's no help...please help up!!!

I am going to be at a shelter and call my brother keep here in Flint MI and I have to be there for 14 days. I need to get a certificate staying I stayed at the men shelter for 14 days and I get my section 8 paper saying I was there for that many days and I was told that I have to stay in the state I’m in for at least a year.
Before I move out of the state and I would need a lot of help on find a apartment to live in in Dallas. I know north Dallas have a ton of apartment next to each other and I would not know were I like to live. I like to live close to the bus line or rail line in Dallas. I have no children. Just me.

I am filing for divorce from my wife. She is disabled and has diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and PTSD. She is troubled and we need to split for our 3 years old daughter because she should not see some of the things that my wife goes through. My wifehas no family that will take her in and I make only enough 17/hr to pay my bills in the house me and my daughter will stay in. She is on disability, but it is currently only 340.00/month because my income is included. I need help getting her a place to live. Is there any help available?

An apartment for the disabled that I can afford

I am 45 years old, I have COPD, Degenerative Disc and Joint Disease. Over the past five years I've lost more than half of my mobility. I receive $710 a month from SSI, and my rent is $500. After rent and electric, and phone I literally am broke! Sometimes I have to get toiletry items that Foodstamps won't pay for, from neighborhood centers. My apartment is not handicap accessible! I can hardly walk but I cannot use my wheelchair or walker in this place! I can't move, no money, can't afford higher rent, and physically can't do the labor! I guess now you see, I need help with rent, finding an ADA approved apartment, moving, all that! Thanks for any information you can give me to help!

We assume that is Bergen County New Jersey. If so, then here are various non-profit agencies to call for rent help in Bergen. Call around to these agencies, government programs, and charity type organizations.
You also mentioned section 8. As far as those vouchers and that programs goes, find a listing of PHAs and organizations that provide New Jersey section 8 vouchers. Find some places close to your sister and call them for details.

How can she find Section 8 apartments in her price range$900-1000 a month. She also has a dog she is attached too. Any help on this would be appreciated.
