After two months of trying, I finally fot approved for Section 8 renter's assistance. I was given two months to find apartment or a house. That was in the middle of April. My two-month timeline is up on June 14th,
and I've had absolutely no luck. After that, I can get a two month extension.
My first apartment wasn't exactly accessible on the inside, but there was a very nice ramp built onto the outside of the building that allowed me to get in and out easily. And I found ways to work with the inside and make it as accessible as I could. I've had no such luck this time around. I haven't found one with a ramp - only steps - at the front entrance. I've looked at places where I can't even get into the rooms. I can't get landlords to call me back (once they hear my voice, they think I'm either drunk or a little kid playing on the phone). And when I do get a call back, I can't find a landlord who is willing to work with Section 8.
And as if all that isn't pressure enough, my wedding is in 45 days and I really don't want to get married and be living with my husband in my old bedroom at my parents' house.
I thought that looking for a house was a difficult task. I was wrong.
At least you know that when you buy a house, it's yours. You own it and can make whatever changes or adjustments that you need to in order to make it accessible.
How difficult was it for you to find your apartment or house? Leave me a comment and let me know.
