    Hi Selena,

    I’m so sorry all this is happening. I’m not sure how old you are. But do you have a case manager? They can help you find resources, other than a homeless shelter. I know when I filed for SSDI, I put in an application for subsidized housing. There was a long waiting list however. I’m the meantime, I went to a church, frightened and scared, and a social worker who volunteered for a good pantry there let me stay in a small efficiency in the back of the church until the housing called me from their waiting list. I had no income, since they are subsidized, I was able to live there rent free, and now I pay 30 percent of my Disability all utilities included.

    Don’t give up. Contact churches, the Salvation Army, United way hotline, mental health agencies and tell them your situation. And pray, pray, pray, that is what I did. And it worked. Don’t give up. Even a domestic violence shelter can help, and it’s nicer than a homeless shelter. x

    Typo above “good pantry” should read “food pantry”

    Dear Selena:

    I think that a safe homeless shelter,  one for young people (I figure you are very young) is a good idea, I am thinking, having read this and previous threads. You need to be safe from abuse, whatever it takes.

    Thank you for the comments. I have actually contacted the landlord and told him the situation, but I do not know what is going to happen.

    You are welcome, Selena. I hope you do take good care of yourself best you can, and part of it is getting the help that you do need.

    Selena,

    Usually, siblings and families DO NOT change!

    YOU have to change….yourself and your environment!!

    If you are in a western country (USA/Canada/Europe) there are multiple state/county and government resources available to you. If not, contact a church/temple/any religious center or social service organization.

    Prayers and hugs sent your way.

    GOD bless!!!
