Hi gang,
I know how Curtis feels. I too have a similar problem. My rent is
$30.00 over what I get on my cheque. As a result, my whole cheque goes
for rent. I have periodic battles with Welfare, ( I have to go see them
on Dec. 2/98 around this same issue), about this. They are constantly
pressuring me to move. But, with what they give us as a shelter
allowance, (I believe it is $325.00/month), you can't even get a room.
Besides, there's nothing out there. I'm always on the edge of eviction.
If I'm evicted, I have nowhere to go. I would be alone this time because
my husband has his own place. He would not be able to take me in because
he only has a very small place.
I hope somone can help Curtis. If he were here in Toronto, I could get
OCAP to help. Is there not an anti-poverty group in New York similar to
OCAP that could help? We cannot allow them to put another person on the
street. Can anyone help those cats? They should not have to pay the
ultimate price just to satisfy the State. Please keep me posted.
Bonnie
