I’’d like to know How on Near $1,500 monthly, living month to month, I can afford the cheapest apartment if I must pay one month rent and one months deposit, equals $1,600. I had a room in a house that was sectioned into 5 rental units. THe hose was sold and we all had to move. That was 15 months ago, I am living in my car and it’s almost dead, overheating in 95 degree and even at 85 it overheats. When the car dies, I will go with it.
I’ve tried every local, state and federal option and am in between on my income, so not eligible for any help whatsover to get a deposit helper. The lists for assisted living is 6 to 16 years, so thats no option now, and even rooms in the area are just as expensive as a 1 bed apartment.
Sorry about your situation. You may find it helpful to go to the website for the National Council on Aging at www.benefitscheckup.org. Here you can enter your zip code, answer a few questions and get a report which shows you all of the public benefits which may be available to you.
