I've been online looking up the occupancy laws regarding section 8 . On many links it stated the parent has their own bedroom and the children if they are the same sex share a room and if they are different and over the age of 6 they each get their own room.
Im a single mom and I have an 11 year old girl that's hitting puberty and a 9 year old boy. Currently they are sharing a room /bunkbed . It's awkward and not a good situation.
I just called section 8 customer service and they told me it's two heartbeats per room etc. I said okay so the parent is supposed to share the room with the child? How is that okay ? I'd have to share my bed with my tween daughter? How awkward. I also dont think it's fair for anyone to sleep/live in the icky living room (firs floor apartment in nycha it's disgusting and full of creepy crawlies they wont take care of)
Im currently in college and im working part time and I just cant afford a three bedroom on my own in new york city. It's impossible. After taxes/ssi i barely bring home $1500 a month . Three bedrooms are going for $2,000 plus .
I would like for my daughter to have her own bedroom . I would even consider moving out of new york when i finish college in another year and a half to a state where they will give me a three bedroom voucher.
It's highly inappropiate for share a bedroom with your growing children.
Please dont come bashing me for being on assistance . It's tired, it's lame and i dont care about your blanket disdain for people who are on forms of assistance

Stay where you are, finish college, and get a full time job that enables you to support yourself and your two kids.
As per Section 8, you would be expected to give each child (since they are different genders) a bedroom, and you would be expected to sleep in the living room.
There is a housing shortage in NYC, and that's how they are approving Section 8 as well as NYCHA (both are subsidized housing).
I have to agree with some of the other posters: even many New Yorkers who are not receiving any subsidized housing, but rather are working, even two parents who work, often live like that - with someone sleeping in the living room. This is New York City after all!

My friend grew up in a 1 bedroom. 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy) and their mom. Mom took the bedroom. The kids slept in the living room. It's what it was.
I hate this country / city sometimes. Please don't be a real post.
