I feel that I am being bullied and discriminated against. The property management has some personal issues or issues about money. I do not understand why I'm being targeted. I'm facing eviction for no reason other than having my kids with me because I cannot see. I said I was left exposed for 4 months and now they're trying to make me because I don't know why. Where can I go to get some help with my eviction or something?

It may well be that your public housing is not provided for a 41 year old living with her children. They may be able to assist you to find other accommodation, if you stop accusing them of bullying and discrimination.

There may be rules with your subsidized housing that says only you can occupy the apartment. So, if your kids are staying there as well (even if it's just like the weekends) when they weren't initially part of the housing condition, then you will need to 1) find out if this is true by reviewing your paperwork or talking to a social worker; and 2) discussing what your options are with a social worker if you need more help.

Please know that "not knowing" something is not a legal defense. We are all given paperwork/contracts, phone numbers, websites, social workers to answer questions before issues turn into bigger problems. If you don't get a grip on your situation then you may be in line for a legal guardian assigned by a judge.

Have you ever been in contact with a local organization for people who are vision impaired? Are you set up with technology for people who are vision impaired? This way you can read the information you receive and can know what's going on and can ask further questions.

It's not easy to be in your circumstances but if you have a victim mentality and accuse others of bullying, this will only shut doors to you. I wish you success in finding alternate housing or resolving your current housing problem.

Call your County Disabilities Dept or Office of Aging. There is a disabilities act that may cover you.

When on HUD, you are rented to according to your income and how many family members will be living with you. If your application only covers you, you cannot bring in someone to live with you unless you get permission from HUD even if that someone will be caring for you. There are rules that must be followed. You also need to be paying your share of the rent. With my nephew his rent is $940, he pays $300 and the State pays $640.

This is a website for people who are caregivers. Call your social services caseworker because no doubt you have one. They are the ones who handle this sort of situation.

Are your children over 18 and working jobs? This may be part of the problem.

If the OP is the only name on the lease and she moved in other people that's grounds for eviction.

Getting bigger accomodations thru HUD is not an overnight thing. There maybe a waiting list.

For this landlord to evict a person on HUD, it must be warrented. Maybe her lease was not renewed and she has not moved out. Maybe she moved her family in, which is a violation of HUD if she is contracted with them for a 1 bedroom apartment. I had a friend who could have evicted her renter on HUD for not paying her share. The only reason she didn't, was she was selling the apartment building and if she evicted she would have had to fix up the apt before the sale.

It cost the landlord to evict. In my area it can take 6 months and a court hearing. Renters have certain rights. Its the last thing a landlord wants to do. And don't think these people make a lot of money off their renters. Where my nephew lives a one bedroom is $1300. Because the complex excepts HUD, HUD will not pay more than 940. Nephews share is $300, the complex gets the balance from HUD. If my nephew was not paying his share, the complex would only be getting $640.

Again, there is a reason for the eviction. Two sides to every story.

Ask your case manager at your housing authority for a voucher for reasonable accommodations and get a 2 bedroom since you need help and that way people can stay over and help You . There Is a good resource page for disabled people on facebook , a woman who has since passed Lily Silver wrote about problems such as this one. also go to your Senator and file a complaint against the property manager that he is not honoring your disability and you feel targeted against and you need help getting reasonable accommodations and can they reach out to your housing authority and request they give you a 2bedroom voucher. Housing Authorities are a Federal agency .
