[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 695554, member: 1963"] Try contacting Catholic Charities. You do not need to be a Catholic, or even a Christian to get help from them., You do however, have to be Catholic to volunteer for them, though anyone can donate goods or money. Whatever you do, do NOT co-sign for her! Yes, in this day and age, they not only do credit checks as part of the rental process, but many landlords, especially at apartment complexes, also do full, including criminal, background checks. I rented the apartment i am in a year ago. It was my first time renting an apartment in the States in 30 years. I was shocked at what a process it was, especially when the property manager called back to inquire about a several year's gap in my history in the 80s. During that period of time my husband was stationed in Germany. I worked for a German IT contractor who supplied IT services to the US Army. You'd think there'd be some record of that, but no. Its an example of how closely they check nowadays. She also has to accept the fact that she may have to move to get access to services. For example, I have to use County mental health services for my MH care. Very few psychiatrists take my gov't ins and Medicare. Nearly all are private, and i cannot afford their fees. Milwaukee Cty so far, has good county services and had openings. I haven't had to go with HUD, thankfully. I think waiting lists for Section 8 are the norm these days, though. [/QUOTE]
