I am currently living in a HUD owned Boarding Home for people with Bipolar Disorder run by a mental health organization. A former roommate of mine was offered a voucher by one of the head case workers to get her own subsidized apartment.

We were told that the voucher was not a Housing Choice Section 8 Voucher but one or two that's given to the mental health organization once in awhile and are very rare.

I'm supposedly the next one in line to receive one but I hardly know anything about them to do any research on the web.

I was wondering if anyone knows the name of this type of voucher and why they are so rare? The case workers do not really offer too much information about them.

I've never heard of bipolar houses! What states have these? I've heard about this happening for other conditions. I've also heard of "creative housing" but don't think that's it at all.

My mom had an apartment under Section 8 202. It was designed for the elderly, but you can get it with a disability too, but that’s the minority from what I was told by the apartment manager.

That must have been why she asked me "are you disabled?" and followed up with "it does put you higher up on the list" when I applied for housing.
I'm still waiting, months later.

Oh, man, the waiting list was so long here for the apartment. My mom got lucky because an opening happened right before Christmas, and none of the people ahead of her could move right before Christmas because their families weren’t available to help them. She got a nice one a few miles from my house.

I hope you don’t have to wait too much longer.
