How can I get low income housing? I dont feel safe in my area.
Hi I'm a 25 year old woman still living with my mom. I really want to move out but I don't think I can support myself right now. I work full time as a Clinical Lab assistant and I'm currently in school. Things are starting to get really bad at home in my area. I live with my parents and I'm paying half of the bills. There's a lot of drama and threats going on with my extended family & others. I don't feel safe with people threatening to harm me. I also take uber to school/work. How can I get some kind of help?
I don't qualify for University dorm. I'm looking for housing in the city that I go to school in. Its not the same city I live in. I'd be safer if I was out of the my city. I dont know if I qualify for housing though and I think it takes a long time

When you say People try to cause drama in your life, is it total strangers or are we talking people who know you and you know their names? It doesn't matter if it's friends, family or friends of friends and family, if you are given a verbal threat to your life, you can go to your local court and pay for a restraining order against that specific person and then they can not be able to be within a certain amount of feet from you or you can call the police and they will be hauled off. Here is a site about restraining orders'

If you qualify for disability you should qualify for housing and should be able to choose where. It may be low income housing or a set amount you recieve to pay your rent if capable of doing that, otherwise it would go to an adult who looks after all your affairs. You probably already have a contact person who sees you once a year to evaluate whether you're the same, better or worse as far as qualifying counts. That would be a good person to contact to find out the name and number to call to get this kind of help. You can call or show up in person at your local DSHS office. This would be the same office people go to for food stamps and cash assistance. I think it is a good idea that you get a place near your school which you already know to be a better neighborhood. There are places that we don't purposely go for anything just because they are known to be high crime bad neighborhoods. I wish you the best dear.

If things are really that bad, you might have to settle for renting a room in someone's house. or rent with a roommate. Figure out what you can afford. There might be someone like you. going to the same school or working at the same place who is also looking for a roommate. Maybe not ideal, but you are afraid for your safety, it might be a temporary solution.
I've lived in ghetto areas. Sure, there's gunshots from time to time, and I hear of an assault or robbery in the area in the news. But I've never experienced it myself. Keep your door locked and you're probably relatively safe. Just keep to yourself and don't go out late at night. Again, not ideal, but a temporary solution. At least noone is directly threatening you. Something to consider.
