Dakotas mama | Wow, why does everyone on here bash people who are on low income housing??? |
I'm not at the moment but am thinking about applying. Our rent is a little too high compared to our income. I stay at home and watch our 14 month old son while my husband works. I'm not lazy like some of these people say that people on subsidized housing are, amongst other things. I supported my husband and i as well as our son for almost 4 years and now it's his turn for a little bit. We can barely pay our bills as it is and getting different housing would cost about 200 dollar less. Why do people feel the need to talk sh!t about people like that? My husband is making 12.33 an hour and when i was working i was making 14.94 an hour. Can anyone help me figure this out? |

I have not seen any bashing.
Remember who it really is that pays for low income housing, the tax payers, the people are complaining about.
You are an example of what might irritate a tax payer. You decided you wanted to stay home with your kid. That is great, but your husband should pay for that privilege, not someone else. There are moms out working hard, and paying money that they would rather give to THEIR kids that would go to you if you were to get low income housing.
Low income housing should be there to help people, not to be a life style choice. |

Usually the people bashing others about this never had it hard. YOu have a baby you love, a husband your in love with. You have all your health i'm assuming because you didn't mention hospital bills or anything like that.
You have more success than some lonely, old guy or women who doesn't have anyone to give and receive love in their life, but is sitting in an expensive condo by themselves right now.
Who is happier, average guy Homer Simpson or superrich lonely miser Montgomery Burns? |

People stink, that's why. They don't really understand financial hardship. People always say don't start a family unless you are stable, well guess what, people, it doesn't always happen that way. I have a friend who is on subsidized housing and she works 40 hours a week, raises her 1 year old daughter and is attending college to be a nurse, everyone has such a bad opinion of people that just need a little help for a while. You know what, hun, screw 'em!! |

Low income housing isn't a bad place to be - but you do want to be careful to make sure that you choose a place where most of the people there are hard-working and appreciative for what they have. Also, you want to make sure that the management company is POSITIVELY active on their property. Otherwise - it can be a very crappy experience.
I lived in low income housing while I was a single mom going to college - and I saw a lot (some good, some bad) in a very little amount of time. In my case, the bad outweighed the good, but that may be because I saw some pretty crazy things while I was there. I saw child abuse, animal abuse, drugs out in the open, domestic violence, un-attended children, and un-managed teenagers that were loud and destructive. I also saw a management company that didn't care about anything except getting their monthly checks, so things weren't fixed properly, or on time. Furthermore, there were no consequences for any of the tenants who were being inconsiderate.
The thing that caused me to finally move out was my child: I wanted him to have friends that would be healthy and happy - with parents that had good work ethics and morals. I was also sick of the slum-lord mentality of the property management company. In my case - it was an extra $400 a month - but it was worth it to find him a safe place. |

I would never do that because I have been there.
Keep your head up and forget about what these imbeciles say and life will get better with time. It always does if you work hard and try to do the right thing.

some people are just really stuck up.
i lived in low income housing for a little while when i was a kid. the really bad thing about it is that a lot of gangs and drug dealers end up in those houses so, it may be dangerous for smaller children.
but, either way...i hope everything works out for you guys! |

i wouldn't talk bad about you, but i also feel like i can't "come down" to your level of not working and staying home. i feel like i am able to work and a babysitter is only $75 a week so in the long run it is better to work. i went back to work when my daughter was 8 weeks old and i breast-fed until she was 10 months old. i didn't work while i was pregnant and my husband paid all the bills and we still live in the same place. so i would say that people say bad things about you cuz they feel like they are better than you. i just can not bring myself to force other people to pay for my housing (or food or insurance) with their taxes. i think there are plenty of other good uses for that tax money (like schools and roads and police) instead of me just staying home and letting my husband and them pay my bills. you do know that that's where subsidized housing comes from? i hope i did not offend but yes that is why they are talking crap about you. |

Quite possibly they could be jealous. I know of politicians (while in office) that got into subsidized housing. Now THAT is a cheap bas tard. He gets paid by the people a good wage and he wants more for free. (Smart but cheap when he could afford better) |

How do we even KNOW you are in low income housing? Think about it! |

There is a certain negative stigma associated with anyone that requires any kind of financial assistance in order to make ends meet. This is a learned response and is re-enforced by the media, family and crime stats. While there is nothing wrong with asking and getting help on ocassion, the perception is that low income housing residents take advantage of the system and create a financial burden on the working tax payer. Anyway, I wouldn't be concerned with what others think or say, you have to do what is best for you and your family. |

Because a lot of people take advantage of the system and the majority of the time they 1) don't take care of the apartment or home that they rent 2) They create problems by attracting the wrong kind of visitors to the building 3) They are dirty.... the list goes on and on.
Plus, a lot of owners do not like having to wait for a portion of the rent from the government. Sec. 8 always has to approve everything that happens with the tenant and it becomes tiresome dealing with the red tape of it all.
Here's a suggestion. Become an apartment manager. Many people don't realise that you can manage a small building on a part-time basis and get your monthly rent eliminated as payment for your services. The bigger the building, the more money you can make. Ex: Free rent plus small salary.
It's fairly easy to learn and is perfect for Mom's who want to stay home with their children. |

because youre the black sheep of people who are on low income housing. the majority of people take advantage of the programs and squander the money they save with lesser rent. also, their children flood local schools, and as a high school student, (and im not discriminating, its just what i see) i see a lot of those students doing nothing but taking up valuable space in school, not caring about education and thinking that school is a waste of 8 hours of their day, while there are plenty of other students tryign to get into my school for the arts program but cant because of lack of space.
if there were more people like you however, i dont think others would be talking **** to those on low income housing. |

probably because they are either mooching off of mom and dad, or they are single, and doing just fine on peanuts for wages. People without children have no clue what it takes to make ends meet. Our cheap *** society requires two full time, well paying incomes to just make ends meet for a family with children. Otherwise the family is going to need some assistance. |

Maybe your husband should think of trying to get his place of business unionized. With collective bargaining he could probably receive a fair wage. If you have to take advantage of resources available then $200. less a month is probably not going to get you out of the situation you are in. A second job for him or a job on another shift for you might be what you need to do for a while. But, if you can get into the lower cost housing then go for it. You will more then likely qualify for grants to go to school to better yourselves and eventually find better careers. |

I don't think your wrong for applying for low income housing. If you think your eligible for it that means your really in low income. So don't listen to what other people say they are just ignorant and don't understand that these programs or for needy people. I don't agree with people who are in high income applying for it and abusing the program. |

Personally, I haven't noticed any low-income-housing-bashing going on, but...if I were to give my opinion...
I think what makes people mad is that most of us are able to find jobs that pay well enough to support our families and pay our bills, and its frustrating when other people can't seem to do the same. We took out huge amounts of student loans to go to college in order to be in a career that will pay enough to support a family. With enough motivation, I personally believe anyone is capable of that if they make the right choices.
The bottom line is...tax payers pay for low-income-housing. You only have to pay $200 a month because the rest of your city or state is paying income taxes in order for the state to have enough money to offer you that housing. So we are paying our $1000 mortgages plus taxes on the income that we went to college to be able to make, all so you can only have to pay $200 a month for rent because you chose a job or career path that doesn't pay enough to support your family.
Doesn't it make sense that some people might be slightly annoyed by that? |
