Oh did I miss a post? Where are you moving to?
No, I havent really posted much about it.
In a nutshell:
we receive rental assistance. Got a letter in the mail a week after Pat was incarcerated and was told that because Pat is a sex offender, we cannot get assistance anymore. THey included a **** ton of materials backing that information up.......EXCEPT that that in the paperwork, it states that sex offenders that register for LIFE cannot receive assistance. I am in the process of appealing, and in my huge manilla envelope I am including a TON of information about sex offenders including the tier levels and reasons that some get life registry and some get 10 year registry like Pat. THe lady that takes care of the housing assistance in my area has worked there 20 years and didnt know that there were sex offenders getting assistance. Really? Who is doing your job??
So why are we moving? 2 weeks before Pats sentencing, our LL came to the apartment and handed him a letter, stating that we are being asked to leave and he cant wait to have us out of there. Pat asked why we were all having to leave because he (the LL) promised that Jonny and I would have a place to live no matter what happened to Pat. LL looked at him and said tough ****. So, after I got home from work, I went to LL's house and asked him about it. He said "at the advice of his lawyer" he is asking us to leave. I told him that I wanted a letter from his lawyer stating this. He said I didnt deserve it. I asked him what Jonny and I did to deserve this treatment...and he said its because I am staying with a child molester. I told him again that I wanted a letter from his lawyer and he told me no. I then told him that I didnt believe he had a lawyer and taht if he did, he would supply me with a letter, at MY expense. He again said I didnt deserve it. So, we have til Feb 1 to be out. I found a place but they are in the process of remodelling so I cant move yet. Plus I dont have the $$. Should be ready by Jan 1, and the rental assistance appeal should be done by then.
On a happier note, I got a letter from Pat today and he is down 10 pounds and his letters have been very upbeat! He is doing ok and I am so glad. I still havent talked to him on the phone but he has money on his account and we are just waiting for him to be able to call. Should be any day now
