[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 462944, member: 1514"] Busy...in reality, they are probably better off on it than off. If they get low income housing that is based on income it would be next to nothing, normally utilities are included, a family of four would get about 400 cash, at least 600 in food stamps, medicaid and no copays. If the family is below poverty line, most likely either its a single parent home working and taking care of 3 kids at a minimum wage job or a two parent family and one parent is staying home to take care of them. Most likely neither adult will have insurance but probably the kids will have state health insurance. Possibly the family will be eligible for a minimum amount of food stamps but not much. Maybe 50 bucks or so. They would probably be able to get into low income housing but the wait would be long and the rent would be high. They could probably rent a cheaper rundown trailer in a bad part of town faster. That was the life we lived for most of our lives. [/QUOTE]
