I still live in the same apartment building where my abuse has (and to some point, is) happening. I would move but have limited income, no section 8 voucher (in U.S. it is a certificate to subsidize many other living situations other than government run housing), and now a bad reference. I feel stuck. I want to move, but only have one option, mental health supportive housing. This means there are staff to help you out much of the time, but it also is very restrictive to independent living. I have lived independently for over 25 years now, but, other than being homeless or staying where I am amongst the triggers, I feel I have little or no other choices.
