Can you go to a social worker at your local mental health clinic? That might be a person who can help with where to get an apartment, or how about NAMI?
I think finding an apartment will be difficult if you can't go up to $750 to be honest.
You seem really lazy. I'm sick of my tax $$ going to pay for people like you. I work hard to earn my living...and then my $$ should just go to you so you can do **** all your life?
No.

PS- I don't exactly consider "social anxiety" disabled. My boyfriend has SEVERE social anxiety and he works and guess what, he pays for his apartment by himself- the government doesn't give him a damn penny.
Pathetic.
You know, I try really hard to avoid confronting posts like this because when a person is able to reply this way to someone, is to have a certain nature. And there is nothing I can do about that, so why get into it?
But in this case I really want to say how wrong it is for you to say these things.
To be placed on disability at such a young age requires criteria you may be unaware of. What good really came from your post other then letting off your own steam, your own frustrations that likely have little or nothing to do with the OP's status. It's just a mean internet thing to do, a way to be rough n' tough without actually having to answer to anyone at all, and it isn't right.
Wow, what a bunch of nasty people on this board. Just because you are ignorant of what Schizoid Personality disorder is you are abusive to someone. It is not social anxiety disorder, it goes way beyond that. That is why working would be difficult until he can find his niche working where there aren't many people. NY has the highest rent in the country, I can't imagine being on disability there and yours must be very low considering your age and obviously you have had no chance to work yet. You might want to move somewhere with a lower cost of living and perhaps less people. Be careful to make sure they have social services, good mental health care and good health care in general first. Most people do not know the USDA has housing which there will also be a waiting list for. With your disability you could apply to the elderly and disabled housing which has shorter lists. Their apartments are quieter than section 8. But, of course they are in the rural areas, so there would be none in cities. There are also alternative ways of living such as vans or tiny houses on wheels. You can find that information on line. Good luck to you and I know you will do well.
Addressing the original question, I do not think a person with a schizoid personality disorder that has risen to the level of federal disablement (Social Security) will find a landlord who will rent to him/her. I mean that level of mental derangement is quite serious, and possibly dangerous.
Even given intervention with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and NY landlord will be able to claim a likely inability to make the rent payment. After all you cannot tell the state that you NEED Section 8 but still claim to the landlord that you can pay the rent.
I must admit to a certain distaste for generous Social Security payments going FOR A LIFETIME, to someone who thinks he is capable of living alone and going to college, but unable to EVER work, when others must slave until they are 67, sometimes "flipping burgers," before they can get a red cent of their hard earned money back from SS. Nobody WANTS to flip burgers.
I recommend that O/P take that Western county's generous offer of rental assistance and move there.

I have severe Asperger's syndrome a high functioning form of autism it comes with severe social anxiety I have been working steadily for 22 years now despite having it. All I have got to show for forcing myself to work was congestive heart failure that almost killed me in 2005. My social anxiety caused my extremely high blood pressure to spike dangerously high multiple times a day even while I am on my blood pressure meds. Because of my blood pressure going up and down so much it has done damage to my kidneys and enlarged my heart. My doctors want me to try to find a new job where I am not around so many people but that is easier said than done. If I continue doing things the way I have been doing them for the past 22 years I will end up crippled from a stroke do my social anxiety.
I live in Texas. I want to move to New York so I can live near my son. I've been disabled from the age of 14 from a diving accident. I live off of ssi. I have my aunt who lives with me and would move there with me as well. Can we do it on a fixed income? Can someone help me find an apartment in New York?
I live in Nyc and I am currently on SSDI. I wish I could live with someone but I think I suffer from social anxiety..Does anybody have there on place by SSI or SSDI..only ?
