can I appy for government housing ?

Answer 1

personally i would stay to myself at home..Or fijnd a job center in your town and ask where you apply for food stamps and housing... Usually it harder for single to get housing...

Answer 2

yes. 450 a month isn't very much. in fact its about 25000$ below the threshold. (per annum)

but you can't live off 450$ a month even if you have food stamps. Find a better paying job, or stick it out for a few more years and live with your parents till you're done with college.

Answer 3

If  you are a female (and I don't know) because you are being emotionally abused, call a womens abuse hotline. you may qualify for shelter. I did. Some won't help you unless you are being physically abused (though emotional abuse usually turns physical) and some will. tell them you are scared for your life and that will help.  once you are in a shelter, you are considered homeless and that will qualify you for emergency housing assistance thru Section 8.. you can apply on your own but the waiting list are really long..really long. know though that if you move, they will probably stop paying for college. however, if you are homeless, you should be able to qualify for more financial aid based on hardship circumstances..it's a long complicated process and it will require letters and help from your shelters social worker. you may have to drop out a sem. to get it all together. you just have to decide if you want to keep with the abuse and stick it out or what. If the abuse is bad as mine was. it will affect your performance at college. Govt housing is based on income. you pay 30% so you are fine there but as I said the waiting list is VERY VERY long unless you are considered homeless. your best bet..stick it out or call a battered womens shelter.

Answer 4

No, but you could apply for another part time job...

Answer 5

Because of your income of $5400. a year would probably be eligible.

Answer 6

sum of the answers are absolutely wrong. can you live on 450 a month yes u can. do u have to have dependent children to get food stamps no u do not. of course to live in government house u gotta be least 18. but the best thing to do is put up with ur parents until u get a job and can find an apartment.even if u do go to government housing. 450 and food stamps is enuff to live on depending where in the country u are at.but u would only have enuff to pay bills.so its more of just existing

Answer 7

not unless you have dependent children.  But don't go and get pregnant for that reason.  Since you are in college, check around for friends or classmates looking for a roommate to share expenses

Answer 8

you can APPLY for anything.  whether you will qualify will be up to the state in which you live..
