I want to move out of New Hampshire, preferably to MA but really anywhere with better mental health resources/programs for adults that cannot currently work full time due to shyt mental health but still--for some odd *** reason-- want shelter and food.
Legit have not stayed in one home for more than a week in like two months. Plan for GOOD therapists for DID/CPTSD/eating disorders/alcoholism and a stable, safe shelter needed. Just wondering how/if a person who cannot, at this time, work full time can get out of this fking shytty situation. SSI asset limit is $2,000, but realistically you get like $800 a month and I have yet to find a place where that will cover rent, God forbid you want a roof AND some peanut butter. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

In Massachusetts rents are near highest in the country. Unless you live in public housing chances are pretty slim to find a decent home at that income.

I tried googling that question because I have no idea. But I got nowhere except sites that just repeated warm lines, 988 and ERs. So I googled where’s the best places to get mental health care and the most expensive states came up. California, New York, New Jersey, and surprisingly Hawaii. All northern expensive states except Hawaii which has to be the most expensive of all.
I don’t know what the answer to your question is but I’d avoid the red states for sure. Did any of your CW help you fill out applications for sec 8? They do have waiting lists but they have priorities for those who have mental health issues and are homeless. Once you are on sec 8 in your state you can look into transferring it to another state. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

I applied for a 3 month residential/sober living type place run kinda in affiliation with the place I’m staying at now.Maybe with a sob story they’ll move me up the waitlist.If I run out of places to stay, I will most likely go into crisis so I’m going to pay extra attention to triggers and warning signs and when things get out of hand I’m going to go to Mass General should I need, YET A-FKING-NOTHER, inpatient stay.
I applied to section 8 two years ago. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

If I recall correctly my case manager and I updated my application a little while ago with more “have no safe permanent shelter” type answers. I don’t remember exactly what I put down though, but it was after my mom kicked me out and before she was okay with me coming over for a day or two at a time if I am sober and not in crisis so I would think that was reflected.
I found some low income housing with three people on the waitlist and had them email me the application. Tomorrow I need to find a place with a computer and a printer and call my pdoc asking if she’ll vouch that I’m disabled. It’s in NH but it’s in an area I’ve never lived in but I’ve driven through (beautiful af) and knew a guy that moved to that exact town and he loves it. It’s out of region so I’ll lose the ACT team not that I’ve really been in contact with them lately but I figure I’ll do virtual therapy or go down to mass since it’s close to the border. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

Thanks! There is a day center in the next building over and I think they have a printer for free but I think I can spare 50 cents for the library if they don’t.

Yeah that’s the only down side to the library, gotta have change. Although a couple times in the past when I was down and out and needed something I was upfront with the librarian and said I had no money they printed for me for free. Libraries are Americas greatest treasure. Good luck

Printed it and started working on it. Only thing now is waiting for the bank to open because my online account got locked due to inactivity and they want to send me stuff through my phone to reset the password, but I changed my phone number two days ago. So now I have to go down and tell them my new number.
Also applied to financial aid for legit guitar lessons instead of having to go to S's house to work on technique. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |
