Answer 1

try going to your counties website.  Maybe they have info on government housing.  Also, try googling Low income housing for your city.

Answer 2

Well you should probably stop having babies if you can't afford to even pay rent, which is the 2nd most accentual thing needed to raise a family

Answer 3

Well are you on section 8? If you are, then you have to wait until you're lease is up before you can move. If you're not on it, you should apply for it. Its for low to moderate income families and the state will take 30% of your income and they pay the rest of the rent. If you make $1000 a month for example, they would take $300 of it for your rent. If your rent is $500 a month, they would pay the other $200 of it to make up the difference. If you don't make anything at all, then they would pay the entire rent for you. I would suggest applying for that. There can sometimes be a waiting list to get on that program though. The other thing you can try is getting on section 42. They take 30% of your income too, but unlike section 8, you apply right through the housing complex instead of the state. Get out a phone book and start looking up all of the apartment and townhome complexes you can find (or look them up online, in the paper or in an apartment rental magazine) and start calling them all up and ask them if they accept section 42. There are several places that accept section 42. If you find any that do accept it close to where you want to move, then go there and fill out an application to move in. My friend and her boyfriend did the section 42 after they had their son and they called some places and found a few close by that did the section 42, they applied and they moved in like 2 weeks later. Good luck!

No disrespect but your family and the government should stop helping you so you can get your self together. Sorry but that's just how I feel. I have ms and the government wont even help me.
