Well It's official I'm going to a woman's shelter and I am a bit scared and apprehensive. I could use some support. I feel very alone and unwanted. My pastor and his wife say that it is for the best, that the shelter has more resources then they do. Maybe so but I still am unsure of what I am going into. I could use some info on low income housing in central Pa. Rental assistance something so I can get a place and put all this behind me.

Is there no one out there with any suggestions or advice for this homeless wife. I am middle aged and this is a first time expericence for me. It will not be a second time experience for me. I want to find a place to live for me and my husband. He is trying very hard to find us a place and I have come to this place to see if anyone could be generous with their money, experience, advise or even know how. I am so tired of being shuffled around and practically begging organizations for help. If I had children I would be at the head of the line but I do not have children so I am pushed to the back of the line. I vow that when I am blessed with a new place to live that I will be an advocate of some kind for the homeless. I need help now.

Hi Pittsburgmomma, First you are right you can't really trust anyone and any time a landlord says that they will work with you get it in writing ALWAYS. Second she in not allowed to keep your stuff. Call the landlord and make arrangements to pick it up and tell you will be bringing the police. Then call the police on that day and have them meet you there. I hope this helps

I am grateful that I got through another day. My body is hurting mostly because of weather. I am tired of being homeless. Filled out a bunch of rental applications. My husband is in jail on trumped up charges. I miss him. I am blessed though. I have been able to stay at my pastors home so I am not out in the weather praise God. I still would like a place of our own and my life back.
