I live in Wisconsin. I don't know what state you live in, but the services I receive here through the county are fantastic. They're almost annoying with making sure I have what I need. I mean, my therapist is through the county and she picks me up every Friday and we go out for coffee for our appointment! She's also my case manager and if I ever need anything (ride, food, clothes, health insurance, stuff for my kid, housing etc.) all I have to do is call her and they'll help me.

Of course, I'm also under a court ordered commitment, so I don't know if that makes my situation different. Also, we have medicaid in my state if you make below a certain income bracket (our daughter has been on it ever since I lost my job when she was four). Right now my husband is on it too since as a family, with me on disability, we don't make that much (I have Medicare too though).

I don't know how section 8 housing works though. Never needed to use it.

So my point is that I live in a great area if you're disabled.

I don't know where you live but services sound like they suck. I refuse to believe it's one of the best areas.

I mean, rat infested apartments? Case managers that don't call you back? What the hell.
