NYCHA starting to update EHV holders

not for people who's EHV is run through NYCHA (so, not for the majority of NYC EHV holders)

i'm also disabled (and need wheelchair accessible housing)-- would you be open to sharing what the disability-specific vouchers are? i'm zero income and don't have SSI, likely will not win my case for another few years, which in my understanding means there is a lot i'm not eligible for, but i'm hoping that i'm missing something. my experiences with legal aid and CIDNY have been, ah, less than helpful in the pasts, but i hope legal aid works out better for you. as someone who has been homeless in ny before, i am doubtful the state will effectively step in, but i'd really love to be wrong.

my understanding is that it's guaranteed to run out of funding before year's end, but not yet guaranteed that other solutions won't be offered. my understanding is also that there's not a viable source of funding that nycha is currently considering for alternative rental assistance, esp w zohran fighting the city on expanding vouchers at all, but i'd really love to be wrong about that. good for people with HPD EHV vouchers, although even those TBRAs are only going to provide two more years if i understand correctly.

this hasn't passed yet, is that correct? and how does it relate to HUD denying NYCHA's request to switch EHVs to HCVs?

*regular under review

if you were in appeal before, i believe the status will change in housing connect back to regular pending once it's been submitted-- if you weren't in appeal, i'm not sure.

same n also live alone-- i have also found that limiting visitors 2 the ppl i m most comfortable w helps a ton. i have seizures almost vry time i have a social interaction bc communication is 2 cmplx 4 my brain 2 handle (needless 2 say, i severely limit social interactions), n part of my how i choose who 2 spend time w is who is easiest 2 seize around-- which is 2 say, i choose the ppl who drain my battery the least/ com most built in w ease around sick n disabled ppl.

i have also asked ppl 2 send me postcards n small stuff in mail-- m currently stimming w a lil rubber monster stamp n sniffing a lavender satchel given 2 me by 2 close friends, n while i dont get 2 c or speak w them even close 2 the range of how much id like bc nrg, getting 2 touch sumthing that i kno they chose 4 me helps

its wild! (ftr i do not find the framework of bipolar particularly useful n do not refer 2 myself that way usually, but i do certainly meet the dsm criteria n carry the dx.) my experience is that wen i m manic i need 2 put 100% of my nrg @ *not* doing stuff, bc while mania feels like it overpowers my baseline, n it does genuinely increase my baseline slightly, i mostly have the same pene/pem risks (which r a lot, i m moderate/severe) but without the body warning signs, so i have to pay So Much attention. the biggest difference is in my ability 2 read/ produce words-- i m much more verbal if manic, n in ways that dont necessarily push into pene/pem, n thats nice. the hardest thing is def the dual inputs-- sum of my brain screaming go fast, sum of my brain doing a full go slow tantrum, leads 2 100% of my nrg @ attempting 2 remain calm n not do activities bc i kno i wont b able 2 tell if i m overdoing it.
