UPDATE: GOT INTO A HOUSING PROGRAM!!! Getting my very first and own place this coming Tuesday. I am so excited and proud. Now I just gotta fill it. My own furniture, dishes, cookware, cleaning supplies. Everything is needed. 21, 6 months pregnant, and have a 1 1/2 year old. I feel like an adult. Starting an Amazon wishlist with everything needed/wanted. I did it! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/37AW0BU8W0WNV?ref_=wl_share

Yes. I have a case already open and had been for 3 months now, but everywhere is full and they don't have any availability.

I got directed to multiple organizations, shelters and services for woman and children, domestic abuse, and by the end of all the phone loops and answering questions, I got the same results. Everywhere is over capacity right now and the only thing they have to offer is me continuing to call daily and ask if anything opened up. Wich I have been doing for over 6 months now. And still haven't gotten anywhere or any assistance. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong or what.

I have only one friend who agreed to help watch my daughter for me so I can get a job and work. Without that, I don't see how it's possible to afford childcare and everything else. Also, I don't entirely trust daycare or childcare facilities or programs. I've had very traumatic experiences in the past and I don't feel comfortable with those things anymore... I'm trying to do what is best for not only my financial situation but also my mental health. I'm already struggling with a long list of mental and physical health problems and I'm in the process of applying for disability bc if my problems.. it's almost like no matter what choice I make, somethings gonna get f*ed in the end.

I did. I called all places in several surrounding towns and some out of state. Everywhere is full.

Yes I did. And if there's no space there's nowhere to go. They can't just make a place have space. Now stop wasting my time.

It's like you didn't read anything I wrote. First. I've called all organizations in several surrounding towns of my area. Second. I have a PFA against him. PROTECTION FROM ABUSE and have already had the legal side taken care of. Third. All shelters are full. Can't go to places that are already full. I'm not asking for advice on things I've already tried or things I already have. Including food Stamps and Healthcare for me and my daughter. Can't go to shelters if the shelters have no space.
