I’ve been avoiding her at all costs, which is tricky because our front doors are side-by-side. I feel like a coward as I hide by my door to listen and see if she’s getting ready to go out. I’m going to put my big girl panties on and check in with her later on in the week and see how things are going.
Most people I heard of in the situation of needing low income housing in a hurry, they were prioritized if they were in a shelter rather than have any other type of dwellings. But I get it is different in a rural area. I misread that you are in NYC.

You aren’t a coward. It’s stressful. Checking up on her is a good plan. No harm in that. Be safe though in case she gets out of control. Perhaps phone call is safer than knocking on the door
