Need Rent Money? Uncle Same Can Help

[Liss]

I’m on the waiting list for the Section 8 voucher. It’s a good
program but there’s a long wait to get it. In my area, the wait is two
years.
I’ve been in privately owned subsidized housing before and the
places were nice and well kept. You need to be a bit careful about the
place you choose because some places aren’t so nice. You need to get a
list of the subidized apartment complexes in your area, from the HUD
website, and go and look at all the places first. Next, you need to
apply for an apartment in the ones you like. Again, there’ll be a
waiting list to get into an apartment. At least, that’s been my
experience.
It’d be nice if there was a program for very low income people to
buy a home. My income from Social Security Disability is way too low for
most of the programs that I’ve seen. I don’t even qualify for a Habitat
for Humanity home.
