Thanks. sidestepper. I have a lot of books and other media. That stuff is heavy. Getting it to second hand shops is an option I will look at.

As for my brother helping . . . . I'm afraid not. He hasn't been speaking to me for months. That's okay. He's been so hostile to me in the past, that not hearing from him is kind of a relief.

I am on a waiting list to get the Section 8 voucher, but I may have a year or more to wait. Ideally, the voucher is what I wanted. It's portable. It would have given me the option to move back near where my family is. Still, where they are is very expensive to live. I might have had a hard time finding a place. I'm interested to hear that you have 60 days to locate something. That's not a whole lot of time.

An alternative form of help is to go to an apartment complex that has an "Affordable Housing Program." That's what I am looking at now. Through that, I might get a place in just 3 months. This program also involves HUD funding. It can be gotten much quicker than the voucher if an apartment complex has a spot for me and not too long of a waiting list of their own.
