When you know the area around city hall is destitute and it makes you wonder where the mayor* 'goes out to' eat during lunch time, or he might just have food 'sent to him'.
*b/c you doubt how they would bring a lunch from home.
Before I enter the gym
I have been active on a housing agency's waiting list since 2k18...'~'..I could have sworn it's only been since 2k19.
~'not complaining'*
The indeterminate waiting period I understand..I was told how when so ever an offer goes through the 'building provider' will be someone I will need to meet.
If I accept, the building provider will inform the agency of how the offer was accepted and I am taken off the list.
Lets be real here,
Going into this I was already not ignorant of how it can take years for social housing agency agency to result with something adequate. It probably took several to wind up in the thankfully just adequate townhouse for a family of 5, Iive in.
Now, Id like to think ..that b/c of different red-tape for one reason, there are different streams when it would come to social housing. Those who need shelter a.s.a.p. , ‘young families and single people.Fair enough for the priority given to ‘young families..
..whats a drag is thinking how the Venn diagram like overlap btw ‘those who need shelter a.s.a.p. and single (males of diverse age demographics) is a group I would likely fall into when it comes to treatment..
On the sheet of a dozen give a dozen or several more selections. There is ‘the omnious wildcard category of ‘various units.
It comes down to one thing **landlords are aware of social/subsidized housing programs** and are not as keen to yield locations to recipients/participants of such programs, from what I understand/assume of ‘the worst of the authentic working class experience'.
‘Curse the boomers for [adjectives and nouns of choice] b/c when it comes to contributions to less-than-painful ‘adulting..

"Society I guess we send out this message where various things indicate that you've made it so if someone has
one of those things that make she'll never again need assistance."
"..and how does that make you feel?"
"I don't know. I've told people and they know and they still don't ask. People can know the facts but can't get past appearances"
Or there piggish callous indifference for that matter =_= ..

You are going to have difficulty getting an apartment without a job if you end up losing yours. The tenancy laws are so biased in favour of tentants that many landlords dont want to rent to reciepients of ODSP.
You also gotta watch out for scammers, people who are tentants or who dont live there at all who pretend to be landlords, take your money without, leaving you without a place to live. Make sure any apartment you rent off kijiji is ACTUALLY the landlord.
I live in Hamilton too, with my parents and I dont really know what I would do either when it is time to move out.

A response, I got elsewhere years ago now

=_= Can you blame me or anyone else for that matter for validly obsessing about this?.

I called another agency and I signed with around the same time and am thankful for the person who responded baring with me even with issues hearing me on the phone and an apparent mix-up of my first and last name.
This is an agency which from what I understand actually bulds there own units (being a NP sort of O).
The fact that I even heard that person
Yes, even with high stakes stuff like this it would do my mental health good to learn to actually trust others/ not think they are always against me.
=_= Downright aggravating how commitment to a 'practise' can make things wind up coming off as deterministic or 'deterministic-control' instead of free will or 'free will-control'. The prioritization machine.
