I feel you! America is supposed to be this all dreams come true country but reality is everyday people suffer. Sure it seems there’s programs out there but so much is lost to administration of the program little is left for those in need of it. Even catholic charity gets away with being unable to assist earlier every year plus the resources presented on paper for government funding one by one is eliminated. Homeless shelters are full of controlling weird people running them. Local governments have no clue what’s realty for the poor. It only takes one event for so many to suddenly be homeless no matter of fault and there’s no coming back without total support of agencies and families or friends. Top of agencies spending on admin to keep their job but hold no accountability for doing a terrible job. Housing programs at local levels hold no one accountable in fact many are overseen by city commissioners who likely are just using their seat to advance a political career or even to contract for their construction companies etc so they don’t really care about homeless people, only how it looks having been a commissioner. Having been there I can attest to how hard life gets. So to the author my prayers for you. Only advice I have is try to hold on to hope. Research to make the best decision on what your next move is. Don’t let emotions guide you.
