Thanks Stormgal , they look identical and with the same AMI etc oh well so they well have a supportive housing outside there door lol there's no escape !!!
I am participating in a housing lottery to get a place that works for my AMI, not asking for a handout. The political system is doing dumb **** to house people with severe mental challenges and other traumas who need more support than just a cheap place to live when they have ongoing mental and physical challenges that are very important. It has to be a multiple-sided approach to helping people deal with their challenges.
I am not generalizing but my close connections who have had to share housing with such cases have not been good, the recent housing of homeless people in hotels isn't a fix either, read up and do research on what percentage of that population was troublesome, did all things right by law and neighbors. It is unfortunate but its not a small percentage that is troublesome.
For people like you who have had DV and similar issues leading to homelessness, there are other issues in addition to just finding housing, there are way better resources out there to take advantage of, if you are savvy enough to be here posting you can most definitely find enough resources to take advantage of and progress forward.
Going back to my first message, you may not like hearing this but if I am paying 9k I don't want the off chance to deal with the issues aforementioned.
Lol yeah, taking advantage of those “resources” has not been helpful at all. Hence why I am here and on just about every housing lottery in NYC. The issue is that the “resources” provided only go but so far, I mean I have a housing voucher a “resource” it expires in October and then I have to wait another 2-3 months to re certify. Crazy thing is all of the apartments that I've tried to secure ignore me once they find out I have a voucher. It's pretty funny you bash the political system but suggest someone seek “resources” from that same system. It's simple, supportive housing is just another “resource” which sets desperate people up to fail. Once a person is house, they're no longer a problem for the person who has to find housing for them. I'm here because I have had a **** time every place else. These things don't work how you believe you do and I'm sure many of the other people here could tell you the same experience.
Also beggars can be choosers. Many of you here have withdrew apps because of various issues. Neighborhood too ****, room too small, not "luxury" enough. That's cool, everyone has a degree of tolerance of what they can shell out vs what parameters they can get. Likewise, if they find out that they live above a drug clinic, or close to a floor that houses the homeless, they can withdraw. No biggie, there's always something better.
Love the screaming of "elitism" tho. Keep going with that.
Yes!
Look, in the 276 Grand Concourse thread, they're not applying cause its next door to a rehab, which no one loiters in front of. Its a beautiful new building with nice apts, good transit options & river views which people are paying good money for. I wouldn't let the rehab be the detterrent. However, I'm the same way tho, so i understand. I need the highest quality of life I can get, which is why I'm leaving where i am now

I wouldn't mind if the rehab was in the next building over. (The entirety of NYC is a rehab at the end of the day). I think the difference is having the rehab inside the building.
