An apartment is $600.
A hotel is $1200.
Minimum wage โwhile factories pay much more than thatโ full time is $1600.
If you are mentally ill and get social security, you'd have enough to stay in a hotel. What do other single ladies/girls do?

Also, I was kicked out of my apartment. It was because I did not report a leak in time. I think they thought I was lying or knew I wasn't being completely upfront. Well, I did not know to report it by a certain time, actually. It was also hard to report it.
So, I was unable to get a lawyer, so far, too. The free ones are disappearing.
Since my parents died and my aunt said to declare bankruptcy and I didn't read any agreement or anything โฆ I found you could not get an apartment for under, like, $1200. (There were only 2 I found so far and I'd have to fly, and they didn't really answer back ever..) I found I was right people declare bankruptcy and aren't all staring blankly in jail waiting a year or so to get out but not owing more money. They like finance new houses, like upstanding "African American" ladies, one told me, like it was perfectly normal, you know? It's just something common.

I remember when I had to move and chose this apartment. "White men" acted iffy and funny around me, like Clevelanders do. This was after I moved here. No one told me in a normal way. No one told me what to do, next.

The funny thing is there are cheap ones, not just on the wait list for poorer people or people with maybe mental issues on social security. I think the downside of the one I saw was that it was on a busy road.

These are hard to find, and I think many seem full, the ones that are small.

So, aside from the people being able to "follow" me, if I had problems in the apartment to do with thinks like leaks and got kicked out for it, you know not reporting what happened to me right away though it was due to the complications โฆ I guess I would never have problems if I wasn't bankrupt and if I went to a shelter I could get out quickly. You just bring your stuff and money or Social Security and they help you get to an apartment again. I'd recommend getting out ASAP and finding an apartment. You can stay in Extended Stay America. It's $1200-$1800/month sometimes. It has the stove, refrigerator, microwave, TV, everything almost. Free towels and bedding for $57/month. Laundry for like $6+ both washing and drying, per load.

It's funny how 211 and everyone acts like hey you're no criminal and you find yourself outside without a place to stay, I guess no money for a hotel for a month or whatever like Extended Stay America with a kitchen and laundry, just call and we'll put you in a shelter. Especially if you're not really starving on a street for more than a night or something or whatever, they have nice programs in a way that never open, they might just have a wait list. The next hope is another county in that state.
Since I'm in a hotel, I don't need to go, and it wouldn't be nice. Since I'm bankrupt, I wouldn't find an apartment and no one would tell me if the shelter would like I heard they did for people with problems. It was hard to try to figure out the conditions of the shelters.

Well, it's if you want to because they pay people to wash it, I guess..

I came back from the bathroom in the dark to a live theater, and the usher looked at me like I wasn't white and I fell fat in my heels, thankful everything was okay other than what happened, but it was like it was my fault and I got nothing, too, money-wise or anything.
