Ask a black girl on Social sercurity and welfare.

Ok sorry for the constant housing questions but you talked about a housing waiting list that's 5 years wait? Are you on this list and how long have you been waiting?
Once the wait is over then you get free housing?
I might open my own thread at some point so you can get your own back and interrogate me about my life.
Also I remember you mentioning a boyfriend, how does he fit into all this?
Does he want to move in with you at some stage?

Ps: no the housing isn't free. Just reduced pricing

For section 8 housing, your rent is fixed at 30% of your income. I too am on disability, and I don't know how I'd manage without subsidized housing. I was on the list for two years, but around here anyway, the housing situation has gotten worse. Waiting periods have gone berserk.

Yeah it's been crazy there a CMHA waiting list 5 years long.

They closed our waiting list here. It's been closed for seven years now.

Yeah I had anxiety before the break in. And no not really the money isn't enough. 600$ for a one bedroom and then I have 153 for all my necessities. That includes cane replacements, household cleaners, toiletries, clothes, transportation. Even when I had my my own place my parents still had to help me. And that's not fair to me or them.

Youre paying 600 for a one bedroom, meaning giving your parents the rent money?

That is quite reasonable really. For an appartement that we rent, it costs the equivalent of $1,600 per month, meaning that in reality, it is much better to buy than to rent in the long run. Not only that, I pay roughly the equivalent of $1,000 per year on transport too.

can you pay for medical supplies, medicine, transportation, household cleaners and everyday needs, school supplies, books, hair care, etc with a little less than $150? Somehow I don't think you can....

Well, to get a new prescription from a Doctor it costs roughly 30 dollars. I am bald and thus no need to use hair products. I am not at school, I read using my apple application. Do you have to pay child maintenance for each child?

I have no children. I'm single and can't afford any.

Then you are sensible in that sense. Having children when you cannot afford to is just not an option.

Hey BQ. I thought you were in a job and or mobility training program at one time, is that correct? If yes, is it still going on? If no, did the move kill it?

Mobility training isn't a job. It's a class that teaches me how to get around.
