I think section 8 and disability income sources (and welfare in general) shouldn’t be so stigmatized.

They help people. They help the poor in difficult circumstances. They help the disabled. They help the elderly.

When folks associate/describe everyone who uses these as necessary options as those who don’t need them in order to survive on the most basic level and are being “‘lazy’”, they’re inadvertently creating shame in those who do need them to survive.

You never know why someone is using welfare, even if they’re in a “good” spot. Don’t assume, especially if you don’t have all the information. And especially don’t say things like “everyone who uses welfare who isn’t xyz is abusing the system.”

more lore below the cut V I am so sorry and I am So tired of this situation

we've been staying with a friend of mine for several months and things have spiraled to the point I'm not sure I consider this person a friend anymore tbh. we've both been trying to communicate our needs and abilities from the beginning but we r not listened to, constantly disregarded, and then told our breakdowns bc of this are disruptive. lol

we have a housing voucher that we've been trying to use all this time but it's been really hard to find a place bc we don't have rental history or any family to back us up financially so even with full down payment in hand we've been getting turned down a lot. my girlfriend's savings from when she was able to work are dwindling fast bc it's all we've had to live on and pay for app fees with (my care team is supposed to be helping w this but they've been negligent of me since I started working w them) and we don't have a lot of furniture we need, as well as needing to get basics like dish soap and laundry expenses etc bc we also haven't really been able to do our laundry here! ough!

so basically the money would go towards first month's rent (we already paid the deposit TwT) getting furniture and household stuff we need, a desperately-needed trip to the laundromat, and anything else like that which would come up! I'm also working on an amazon wishlist for the practical stuff we need, blessedly I still have my mop and broom as they were unaffected by the infestation but other things like my microwave were not spared... ALSO FUCK WE NEED SOME BOXES!! we're gonna hit up a liquor store today but idk we'll see!

Sorry guys, I guess FAFSA, Section 8, SNAP, Medicaid and more are just not going to be a thing anymore because I, a trans person, have used these programs before. And got my tranny hands all over it.

I'm going to be honest I know people who seemed to be on section 8 my whole childhood. and didn't seem like they cared to get off. So while me working as much as I do week after week while my tax dollars fund these programs. As well others things that the money shouldn't be going to, I can't say i feel too bad for cutting access to programs like these. but at the same time I also don't fault them for gaming the system.

Disabled, Escaping an Abusive Environment

My dear friend is in need of $2,000 to secure housing!

Her name is Cha-Le, she’s 25 years old, she has lived with Spina Bifida and a Chiari malformation since birth and she is currently trying to secure housing to escape a physically and mentally toxic environment.

She's previously been approved by Section 8, but the problem is they don’t help with any fees, deposits, or any move-related expenses. So even when she gets her voucher, she doesn't have the money to actually sign a lease.

She's currently back on the waiting list, which can take several months to get back to the front, so we need to be prepared when it's her turn again.

Even a few dollars will help, and even if you can't donate, please signal boost!

Tommy Monaghan, Hitman.

Man, I miss this series so much! I wish DC would re-release the trade paperbacks so I could read it all again without having to haul all the issues out of storage.

If you've never read this series you owe it to yourself to try it out. This is Garth Ennis pre-The Boys, but it's just as outrageous, hilarious, and heartfelt, even if it was restrained by DC editorial oversight.

Plus, this is the comic that introduced the greatest superteam in comic book history - Section 8!

I don't want to be at work anymore. And I hate how people don't just tell you information that would help you when they know about it. I used to be in a section 8 apartment, but just found out that if I told the landlady that I wanted to buy a house, then part of my rent would've went to a fund for the house buying. That should either happen automatically or they should ask in plain language if you want them to do it, not leave it in the long paperwork for you to find if you can.

I'm in San Francisco and I was homeless up until mid September of this year where I finally got housed after spending over a year in a homeless shelter. I became homeless when I moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco and my section 8 housing voucher was not transferred to San Francisco for some unknown reason and I still haven't been able to get it transferred to San Francisco. I had the voucher for a year and a half when I tried to transfer it. I'm currently housed and I pay 1/3rd of my income towards rent.
