Is there someone you can recommend that I can get advice on what I need to do to secure a place for my two children and myself. We have been homeless for 7 months and time is running low on staying with family and friends. I don't know what I'm doing or what I'm to do next. I just need some help with knowing my way and navigating through the process of application's calls to make and arrangements to make. I'm hopeful with advice in the right people to turn to I can afford with help a apartment we can call home something we have waited so long for and something we have prayed for for some time. All I want is to give my kids a place to call home and lay there heads at night somewhere they can put there things and know they'll be there when they return from school some place to lay there heads to sleep and bring friends to hang out a place of refuge in this chaotic world we live today. If you can help or know who may be able to if be so grateful. Thanks for reading and God bless.
