Last time I called, the city about housing assistance (they also advise about HUD programs), they told me the the waiting list was long with veteran's and people with children taking priority over everyone else. They advised not to bother until our son had a job because the jobless on the list were at the bottom (implying the bottom of the list was never served). While he has a job, he does need to get him on the list. Perhaps the new administration's priorities will shorten the waiting list. Thanks for the reminder.
