I'm on a waiting list to get an apartment in a complex that participates in a HUD program. It could be about 6 months that I have to wait, per the management there. It could be more . . . and it could be less. Could be 3 months . . . . could be a year. Depends on who comes and goes there, which they can't foretell. The management at this place have been very nice to talk to. I trust what they tell me.
Finding this place has given me some sense of hope. I should be looking into other options and exploring everything. My case manager gave me some addresses to check out. I haven't. I'm awfully depressed. Thank you all for understanding that this is an ordeal to go through. I feel less alone thanks to the encouragement and advice above.
