I am currently living in another state because my husband was sent to jail in San Diego  and I wasn’t able to continue living where we were. A friend of mine.chose to take me in so I wouldn’t be homeless. My husband gets out of prison in 90 days. He has been in jail since 22 March 2021. I love him and would like to relocate back to San Diego but we have no place to live. I have a small pension from the military every month but it is not enough to rent anywhere in San Diego. My husband and I both suffer from PTSD and with him just coming home from prison it will be hard for him to get a job. Can you please help me by telling me where we could possibly find a place to live?
