To Whom it May Concern,
I over 50 and a disabled female that has been homeless. I have been living in my car for 6 months. I currently have an advocate at Laurel Hill and attending Rent Ready Class. I recently found a room for rent. The only obstacle is the monies to move in. My advocate told me to try St Vincent De Paul and Catholic Services.
However, I have tried daily the number I was given by Cathie Services and followed prompts from recording with no luck speaking with someone. I believe my time is running out with them holding the room that I will be able to afford with my limited income. There are many homeless people as you know and finding a place that is affordable is the greatest challenge. I am on the waiting list also with Homes for Good.
I really cannot emphasize the mental toll living in my car has taken on me and I will continue to be homeless with help. I have worked in Lane County Majority of my life starting at age 14. I have never been homeless prior to now and have been a business owner in Oregon and a homeowner in Lane County. With the unfortunate back injury and living on limited income along with all the effects of a divorce after 25 years of abuse has had impact on living situation also.
I have been living with hope primarily this past year, until going to the hourglass crisis center. Being suicidal and going there a couple times a week until I had an intake appointment were referred at Laurel Hill, I slowly have been gaining some hope for a productive and happy future. However, to obtain the goals I would like to start establishing I need to find a safe place to rest my mind, body, and soul. So, at this time I please ask that someone reply with some helpful guidance to find financial help for rent and deposits before I miss a window of opportunity. I prefer by phone however email will be fine too! Amount needed is $400 prorated and $400 deposit $200 deposit for assistance animal however, the deposits can be spread out over two months if need be. Please, if could respond with urgency I would appreciate it.
