Hello All, I have a 60-something year old that is facing eviction due to the fact that she is having her apartment of 4 years demolished and the land being developed. She has Substance Use Disorder, lives with mental health challenges, and more than likely has some cognitive difficulties. She is on section 8 housing with a fixed monthly income due to SSI. She's lived independently for quite some time with her pets, and is just wholly unprepared for the difficulties surrounding the navigation of finding a new residence. She says that she's been laughed at, patronised, and hung up on in her search for a new home. I was wondering if any of you had any leads on an agency, org, or persons that could help alleviate some of the anxiety she's facing trying to avoid homelessness. Unfortunately it's getting close to the time. I can provide transportation for appointments, but I'm just wondering to whom would be the most beneficial for her to speak with. Hap[py Thursday and happy Juneteenth!
