This is true and common in many cities and large towns.
I know its hard to find affordable housing (even by myself).
There are programs available that will assist in getting relocated to a better area.
I live in a Habitat for Humanity duplex unit for handicap. While I am not handicap, I am disabled and that qualified me to gain access. If I never went to HFH and asked I would likely be living in a dump. I pay full rent.
$550 @mo for a 2 bbrm. Its new construction post Katrina so it is cheap on utilities. It came with all flouresent and led lights, washer, dryer, stove and fridge.
I qualified fro 1st month rent free so I only needed the deposit $550 to move in. I was the first tennant. There was 4 other units in the complex empty at that time.
I spent 1.5 months looking at places while living in a motel. Nothing was viable and I almost gave up and moved back to where I came from then I decided to check 'other' options.

What I'm trying to say is that we all try to look for the easy out. I know, I lived that way a long time. It was easier to just throw my hands up and say fk it. I assure you, determination goes a long way.

Tom , there is so much waste in public assistance starting with the bureaucrats

There is so much ineptness and fraud it isn't funny

I think the government should eliminate all corporate subsidies too

They need to eliminate a lot of programs that are useless

And people on welfare are often 'determined' to not stay on it, and determined to find work that they can live off of ... instead of 'taxpayer' money that automatically stigmatizes them and makes society treat them as indebted, owned and worthless. And they are 'determined' to find a way of sustaining themself before the four to five years of limits most of these programs enforce.

because you needed it Tom, that is different Ive been clear on my stance about welfare.

Which is Able bodied people shouldn't be on it period, welfare is temporary and should be available to those who truly need it.

Not the woman who is too lazy to work, or the guy to lazy to work and doesn't want to work.

Tom ,big difference you wanted to work,and Im sure some on welfare today wants to work too, but the problem is those that dont want to work and isnt interested in working.

Easttowest

That is a shame. Unfortunately there are many people all over the USA that sbuse the system. Then cry the cry my children need help!
Well the parents need to support themselves Before and after they decide to have a family.

and yet fraud exists, yes fraud exists in every industry but we are not talking about other industries are we?





nobody is saying that on this thread, stick to whats been said.

if these people think that government assistance is a waste of money,then WHY do they all have no problem with the government giving HUGE tax breaks,and corporate welfare to HUGE corporations who are successful enough that they dont need it?

and tax breaks to religions?

and tax breaks to people who donate money to political campaigns?


yeah....
thats what i thought!

I spoke DIRECTLY to the point of the thread, and you chose to misinterpret me, and to immediately head off in another direction not part of the thread.

You're on your own with that strategy.

The welfare queens at Honda were living with grandma for for free. Grandma got the foodstamps but the money those girls made went to the club and a hotel to further their welfare career. Monday morning those girls couldn't even afford to buy lunch. They damn sure weren't spending anytime with the babies they had already popped out. They were too busy getting pregnant with more. We were making good money but most weren't even mentally stable enough to have a car. These types are breeding like cockroaches.
When I was young I lost my job. Two kids and $0 incime. I didn't qualify for welfare because of a 10 year old car that I had to have to look for a job. The welfare queens spend money on a cruise because an asset will disqualify them from the gravy.

Toody, that is what responsible people do, notice most of them are conservatives that believes that, Most conservatives believes in personal responsibilities.

Liberal folks will tell you its a human right to have children and nobodies business, and if you cant feed them the state should provide.

This is going to sound mean and I dont care but, if you cant feed them dont breed them.

People will say oh you have no heart or its really small percentage of fraud, but defrauding the system costs money, and that is money that can actually help the people who really desperately needs the help.

These breeders can make more off welfare than they could if they got a job. We should put an end to people on welfare living better than working people. Section 8 needs to be ended. It's crazy having a welfare queen living in a gated community with a pool. Put her unambition *** back in the projects. Eic for a dozen kids needs to end. I've heard it can only be claimed on 2 kids now. They should require it go to something important like school clothes, car repairs etc. No 4eheelers, cruises, spa treatments. They should be required to get their tubes tied if they want the govt to pay hospital bills for a 2nd child to be born on welfare.
