Looking for a place to live. Any ideas helpful.

Post Reply New Topic

I am currently looking for a place to live. Let me give a quick backstory as to why. My mom passed away exactly one month ago today. I am the only child. I have high functioning autism but am able to do many things - feed myself, bathe myself, dress myself, drive a car, all of that. I had to move out of the apartment that I shared with my mom upon her death because our income was tied in together. I had to call both Social Security and her federal annuity people to inform them of her passing (among other numerous things). All I get now is my monthly Social Security. I am seriously looking into their Ticket To Work program once everything gets settled with finding a place to live. I have tried anything United Way has; PadSplit; Apartments.com; Rent Cafe; and even HUD's Section 8 waiting list is closed at the moment. It would take years for me to even get on that, anyway. If anyone out there has any ideas, I will gratefully take them. I am looking for either a one bedroom apartment or a room for rent in the 600 dollar range so that I will have enough left for auto insurance and other expenses. Thanks.

My condolences on the loss of your mother. It must be especially stressful having to make all those phone calls and sort out your future accommodations. I don't live in GA or even USA so I can't help you with that, but I wish I could.

Please let us know how you make out.

Here are some ideas for room shares: https://atlanta.craigslist.org/search/r ... llery~0~14

Thanks, Omniel, those are a good start. I think I recognize some of those, as I have been searching on Craigslist, but some I may not have seen previously. Thanks!!
