I'm still here,, thank goodness it's spring..still praying and trying to keep faith..God is good and I know something will happen soon..

 in response to ekikaseven...   I'm not sure about other states. I do know that there's nothing out there for me as a single disabled woman of 60the years old. If I had kids I could get a place right away..I've applied for a rent voucher but it could be 3 to 5 years to get help that way. Im looking forward to warmer weather. Thinking too I don't know if I can hang on that long.

PS. I have been sleeping in the back of an old horse trailer, using an electric heater to try to stay warm..old people on disability who are also homeless seem to have no value and are treated badly. It's been 5 months. I'm currently house sitting and it has been so wonderful to sleep in a real bed and have a bathroom to shower. Never take these things for granted ..anyone could find themselves in this situation ..and it's not fun at any age, but if you 60 plus, it's even harder..

I'm 60 years old and now find myself homeless. My children are grown and gone. I'm on disability due to failed back surgery. Back pain is debilitating. i NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THIS DIFFICULT TO find a government apartment to live in untill I really needed one. I searched 4 counties with no luck. There are no one bedroom apartments avaiable for someone like me. If I had childern I could get something, but only me, well seems next to impossible. I applied for a rent voucher but I have been told it could take from 2 to 5 years to get that help.

I can't be the only senior adult on disability in need of housing. I'm wondering why there are not enought apartments for people in my situation. There seems to be 2 bedroom units that are unrented but I don't quilify for them,,it's only me you see.  

Why does it take so long for aproval of rent vouchers?

impossible it seems for an old single woman on disability to get an apartment .. but if I had kids I would not still be homeless, interesting huh? even if there are units open that are 2 bedrooms,, they will not lease them to me.I searched 4 counties in Kentucky..nothing.

I stumbled on this site while searching for affordable housing..I'm not sure what this is for, to talk to others who have the same problems maybe?

Need help with first month rent and deposit..

I found an apartment but it's 650.00 plus a 650.00 deposit..and that's a one bedroom. but it also includes all utilities..heat electric water trash...so I guess that not so bad..I just don't nhave that kind of money to get setup..

Hello, I too like many I've read about am homeless, 60 year old female on disibility , I've been sleeping in my old horse trailer and plugged electric cord running from a local buisness..using there bathroom ..not an easy life for sure..No one bedrooms apartments are available in my county. The firat couple months were not so bad , but winter has reall taken its toll on me. It would be so much like heaven to sleep in a real bed and be warm.. How can I get help? I applied for a section 8 rent voucher, but that could take years! mean while it's cold and snowy...is there help out there?
