Finally got around to updating this page! as of editing, its 11/25. Many things have happened before me updating this but here's it:

​

It took a little while but I was finally able to get a voucher! As I'm typing this I've been steadily looking for places! I'm very excited. With this for any familiar w/ the process; this means i have EBT / SNAP & Medicaid, but I won't be using EBT immediately If, at all. This is cause once I am able to get my place the money I have in EBT and SNAP will be going towards food shopping after I am able to get a place! Months prior I already had money put aside for rent, and I will continue doing so until I'm able to get a place! The SNAP benefits also accrue over weeks slash months, so by the time I'm able to have my own place to stay which should hopefully take no longer than two months, I should be set.

​

So, my current goals?

 Maintain myself for the time being, but also update my information. My name is not fully on my documents. This sadly prolonged the process because I will have to keep doing runaround tasks, up until my voucher itself has the name I want on it as well as my other benefits otherwise they will not work properly regardless. My money that I get we'll still continue to go towards important things to sustain me such as my phone bill, Food, medication surprise tickets, Possible travel And any other fees that may come alongside having to update and change my documents. I plan my weeks pretty meticulously Kamal trying to get things done between meetings with case managers, therapy, commissions and anything else that is necessary for me to so this process isn't longer than necessary. Soon enough, hopefully no longer than March of next year I won't be homeless!

New York is amazing! (not really).

On November first, The government will be shut down  . 
along with this they're [possibly] changing the systems of which how the voucher/homelessness process will change. aka, they-re making it harder- and more unobtainable. All in the name of "removing immigrants". This shit is so fucking annoying. All this work for nothing, or even progress erased - I'm so exhausted

• I have been homeless since July of 2025. I'm residing in a special shelter, however my time is limited.

• I don't have wifi there. I have limited data. Wifi/Food access is 2 trains/A borough away.

• I do have a job, but my hours are cut- both BC of some accommodations & my store itself, falling apart.

• My money goes towards storage (41$) phone bill (40$), saving(50-100$ minimum) & food (fluctuating/remainder)

• My items are already relocated in storage I have all of my important documents with me

If you have seen this post before, It's because of seemingly the same cycle happening again and again
Both when I was living in my abusive household and when I wasn't in my older house. I get very no/little IRL support.
Every single time I think I'm secure, I hide my posts. and something always goes wrong.
 

6/9: I am not looking for anymore accountability buddies

​

At this point in time I think I'm just seeking alternative solutions to bide my time, better jobs I can look into, etc

I do not have faith things will get better/easier.

​

⚠️ While I appreciate the sentiment, I kindly ask that you avoid comments like “keep pushing through”, “things will get better”, & related. I truly understand that they come from a place of care — but my circumstances have only continued to get worse; though these mean well, they don't offer actionable support or guidance which's what I'm seeking.
