My christmas is not so well nor will my New year be. My Mom died of cancer Mar 07. I have MS and live on SSI. I can not get state housing assistance because I am under ages 55 and not homeless. I am on the 8-10 year waiting list. My landlord has asked me to move by 12/31/07. I am packing with no where to go yet. I am trying to find a new apartment in Northampton MA by the due date or next week. My landlord let me keep my rent money for a few months due to a leak in my apt but it was under the promise to move. I wish I could get some help with getting a new apartment in Northampton MA I am using the rent money I have now and some of my college funding which is putting me in future debt. The rents I am looking at are from $700-1200 I get $920 on ssi and have been paying 75% for rent for years now. My rents where I live now have been $600-900 when my Mom was alive she helped alot. Now I have no support. I am in college trying to change things that takes time and for me its until 2009. There must be something out there for people like me?
