Want to thank my case-worker and her supervisor for being patient with me and finally explaining all this new-housing-program jargon to me in a way I finally could understand. (Third time is the charm!) I've always been grateful for HUD and its' subsidiaries for keeping me under a roof and off the streets, it's just the bureaucracy,paper-work,and sudden changes that whip me into a panicked frenzy sometimes! I apologize if I came off as overly critical of the people helping me,it was merely the stress of having to deal with additional routines I was not yet accustomed to.
Fear and anxiety can really bring out the worst in us sometimes.......

I was always grateful for any help I received from the very beginning but any normal person will tell you if they become comfortable with a routine and that routine is abruptly altered it's quite the "edge of the cliff" experience,especially when you initially do not understand all the papers flung your way or the new jargon being used. (And if you've been homeless before you fear doing anything in that process "incorrectly" might land you on the streets again!) It's not the fault of my case worker or her boss as they're merely following protocol but I stand by my opinion all this could be done with less hassles and less paperwork. (My workers would say "amen" to that as well!)
I mean technically you can find almost everything about someone based on their social security number and police record. (So long as ya have a signature from said person to utilize those resources) But instead there's a "stack"with every single page requiring a dated hancock! (And even if you've been thru sec 8 orientation sometimes you have to do it again when your case file switches hands)
Remember the people going thru all this usually suffer from some kind of disability and cannot get around as conveniently as the typical normie with an automobile. Not trying to be a wet blanket but it helps to get all sides of the story to perhaps figure out better solutions for the future.
