homeless at 43
April 28, 2009, 2:22pm (report abuse)I have been looking for housing for the past several years (10 yrs +) I have been on numerous wait lists to eventually be told that my application was not put through and I would have to re-apply next year. These wait lists they have are not fair to us. They remain open and it seems like the people with good to excellent credit get approved while the ones struggling on a single parent income with dependants sit in basements, shelters, cars, one room homes, etc... and never get placed. Gov. says they are working on placing all people but, that does not happen. I am one of the ones who has never been placed. Either my income is not enough or my credit does not meet their requirements. I had been unemployed for 9 months due to my company closing down. All I am looking for is a home for myself and two children before we end up on the streets like so many other people.
