Lost My Home Again - April Update:
- I've found several rentals to apply to, which are either currently available or be will available before my lease ends
- Due to my current credit score and lack of income (because of disability), there are extra hurdles I have to overcome in order to be approved for tenancy:
A) Finding a guarantor/co-signer for the rent (which will be 100% covered by my housing voucher anyway); or
B) Getting enough money to pay double the first month's rent as a security deposit (and some places have extra admin fees that have to be paid on top of the security deposit)
- I've started reaching out to local nonprofits in my city to ask for help covering security deposits; so far all the places I've spoken to have funds dedicated to helping specifically with rent and/or utilities, but not security deposits
- The lease for my current apartment is still scheduled to end on May 31st, 2026, and I do not currently have a new home secured yet; therefore I'm still facing the looming possibility of becoming homeless for the second time in my life this year
- I would still greatly appreciate prayers, advice, and friendship/emotional support during this overwhelmingly difficult time; if anyone is in a position to offer me financial aid, and feels willing to do so, my Paypal and Venmo info is included below; you can also contact me via private DMs on Tumblr or Discord
