My 74 year old aunt and her mentally challenged 30 year old daughter are being evicted from their apartment. Are there resources for locating housing for each of them. I believe my aunt needs medical care on a daily basis and her daughter needs daily supervision.
HUD stands for Housing and Urban Development. Those receiving a housing voucher thru HUD pay a % of the cost of the residence depending on your income. If it's HUD housing it may be you pay 30 % of your income to live there. Starting my journey with this for nephew. He was excepted into a State program so praying I can get him settled somewhere.
I'm not very knowledgeable on subsidized housing, but that might an option. Section 8 housing was HUD housing, as I understand, but I'm not at all knowledgeable on details of it.
I'm guessing that there isn't much money available. Are they getting Medicaid or other form of assistance, either federally or locally? If so, there might be a social worker who can offer suggestions.
If your aunt needs daily medical care, she might need some type of long term care, for which Medicaid may be in the picture. I really don't know anything about care for her daughter and her specific needs, but perhaps bumping this thread up will make it available for others to see and respond.
You might want to contact United Way helpline, 211, to ask what help might be available.
I hope others with more knowledge will see your post and respond. I'm just not that familiar with what your options might be.
