[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 490354, member: 1514"] Crazy...this is just a suggestion based on something I have been told here. I have been told that if a person is about to become homeless, especially with small children or if they are disabled, they are put to the top of the list for the subsidized housing. Now this is not section 8 but this is the projects. We have both here. I know the low income apartments are not the best but it may be the only thing she can get. I can only imagine what they will be like in your area. Shudder. They are not much better here to be honest. At one point we tried this with Cory and actually almost got him in but his record stopped it. I did have to say we were evicting him and he would have no where to live. In fact I went so far as to saying that he had been living with me and I was moving and he couldnt come with me...lol. You may want to think about going that far. She has been gone pretty much so far it would not be that far from the truth to say she has moved out and you wont take her back so she and her kids are homeless if that will get her in somewhere. Other than that...I will say, Cory lives in a very low rent dumpy trailer where all utilities are paid right now. It takes up all but $233 of his check. He sends Keyana $50 a month. He does work some now and then when he can. They also get food stamps. If they cant find a place to live that has utilities paid, the rent cant be over 250/300 a month or they cant afford it because power will be at least 150 to 200 a month here. Now as far as daycare...that is a problem. I know that regular daycare is expensive but sometimes you can find a person who is keeping their own kids home and wants to earn a little spending money on the side so will keep a couple of kids for cheaper.
