[QUOTE="Lil, post: 683436, member: 17309"] It's not really research - and I wasn't doing it for him - I was doing it for me. He told me his landlord was having problems finding any other place for them to go and I thought I'd look myself. I haven't even told him any of this and really, I wanted to see if he was telling me the truth. And in fact, I did just do something I absolutely should NOT have done and completely meddled...I called his landlord. Again, if I'm going to discuss helping him with Jabber (sorry honey, but not like you don't know I'm not letting it drop) I need to understand what the situation really is. There is no other place for them to go at the moment. They can't go back to the building...the city has said that since there's been a fire, they must not only make the repairs, but bring the building up to the current building code - which will cost thousands more than the insurance will pay. In fact, they have to do a bunch of exterior work because it's in a flood plain! Which has NOTHING to do with fire damage! So they can't repair it. It will eventually be torn down. They have another building that they had a fire in last month that is being repaired and they said they could maybe get him in there - but it's a good 4 weeks away from ready. :( It's all very terrible. Oh! And to add insult to injury, they'll lose the roommates food stamps this Friday too. A new law in our state will kick several thousand people off assistance and he's in that group. :sigh: [/QUOTE]
