LOW-INCOME HOUSING

The biggest obstacles for women who strike out on their own are money, and safe low-income housing. Without adequate income, many women who are in violent relationships tend to remain where they are until they can make a safe move. You may not be in a position to purchase a home of your own, however, there are other resources available until your situation stabilizes financially.

On a previous post, I gave you a very important link to a government web site where you could find assistance for various needs. This same government also provides information for low-income housing. To qualify, your current income level must be “low” or “very low.” In order to find out if a low paying job qualifies, you must contact this agency, and provide your information. There is an application process, just in case you need to know this. You would have to inquire as to how long the process takes for you to obtain housing.

Some people view low-income housing as a not so good alternative to living where and how they would really like to live. On the other hand, if you are in a situation where you need a place of your own, somewhere safe, give it a try. You won’t know what choices are available to you if you don’t try. After all, this doesn’t have to be a permanent situation. I do believe that God is still in the miracle business. Here is the contact information:
