It doesn't sound like your mother is caring for you and providing for you properly. Good luck and stay strong.

My mom doesn't want to share a room with me anymore. I don't want my grandma to keep sleeping on a couch in the living room... My mom doesn't see the point in moving if we still going to share a room. But I told here I don't feel safe her. Just the other day, Some group of guys beat up this old man. And my neighbor keeps getting her vicious dog to chase me around the projects

She's a good mom. She just don't believe that I'm scared to live here. She thinks it's just because we live in the projects. She doesn't see most things that happens in this area so she thinks that most thing I say is just a load of bull crap.

I haven't heard that. Maybe there's info at their website that could tell you more

New York City Housing Authority

I'm sorry you're in this situation. You shouldn't have to feel unsafe or afraid. I hope everything works out.
