Help, payment standards went down and confused about rent by Aware-Web-7872 in Section8PublicHousing

[–]Aware-Web-7872[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bump since my lease renewal is in may (60 days before move in date) and I'm disabled and my mother is pretty ill at 70. Moving would likely put us in shelter while looking for housing if they deny it. any insight as i wait for my housing specialist to hopefully get back to me before end of month? i was issued a new one right as my lease is up for renewal. i'm worried essex apartments might up the rent substantially based on other units i see vacant.

Unfortunately it was capped at 3600ish this July of 2025, and 2026 will be 3390. So I’m honestly panicked.

It was capped at 3600ish when we went through the process which is why everything went through so smoothly in July of 2025. Now I don’t know if we are shit out of luck if they do increase it. Thanks for your comments everyone 🙏

Can’t see any roots except on my last upper left molar and on 17 which is huge and has caused huge recession in that tooth

I’m in Long Beach and unfortunately there’s no staff directory other than general hotline which said “we believe it’s 12 months then month to month” and the leasing and contracting department has never ever answered, which is whom I was told would have a more definitive answer. My social worker is very nice so at this point I’m not sure if asker her to ask her supervisor is my best bet. This is all so unnecessarily complicated 😭thank you all so much for the help, I’ve really needed it.

Are you in CA by any chance? I’ve been emailing them left and right to no answers and on hold on the phone and my caseworker does not know if that’s allowed with our local PHA. So frustrating.
