Go to the housing court in your area and then head to the records room all L&T case records are accessible to the public.  If this is an issue for you, try you local legal aide office, normally located in the housing court as well..Good luck with that...Also I would call the local authorities...like here in New York we have the 311 line to report the atrocities you are currently living under.  Jackie and Marwan sound like slum lords. Oh yeah you can also take them to court for repairs..But make sure you keep paying your rent....lack of repairs doesn't mean you don't pay rent...that is grounds for an eviction...which by your discription would be a step up....and outta there!

look into the hud programs:\n\nhttp://www.hud.gov/\n\nIn the at your service section there is section 8 for renting and buying a hud home and hud approved lenders.\n\nIf you don't have ajob then you won't be able to buy a place, if you do then you might be able to get a place for cheap.\n\nIf you can get a place that needs work start going to a large church and ask the pastor if there are any people in the church willing to come help fix it up and you can get your own "habitat for humanity" crew.

Where do you live???  I have Seniors that need help!\nAdvertise at Dr's offices, penny-saver, etc. Ask around, open your mouth and ask older folks if they know anyone who would need your services, ask at the local Y, go to senior centers, go to your local Church and ask there.  Heavens! Well qualified workers are hard to come by.  There are quite a few companies that offer these services, apply for a job with them, perhaps they will place you. Take some EMT, and physical therapy classes.  Good Luck!

go to social services and apply for food stamps. You might also try going to the local section 8 office and applying for housing...they won't assist you until you are on their program.. Sometimes churches will help if you have a shut off notice or eviction notice. If you have little income, you might quailfy for medical benefits. Ignore these people who tell you to give off your butt and go to work.. It's those people who know very little about what it's like to need help. They have been telling me that for years and I am on disability..disability/work doesn't go together. People are just judmental.one day they will they may need the help to and they will have people telling them the say thing.

Many things depend on where you live and in what state you reside. There are different places available based on a city inside a state as well. If you are on governement benefits from a disability or the like, then you should immediately seek help from an organization of the state you live in for assistance in retaining those benefits while finding a place to live. \n\nMany agencies (non-profit, not government) have programs for those that are homeless or are about to be homeless. Those programs can assist you in finding a residence, keeping your benefits and assisting you in finding help for your drinking if you want that too. \n\nCheck your local yellow pages for homeless shelters and social workers in those shelters, explain your situation and seek out the help. \n\nI wish you the best of luck.

do you have a local youth club in your area? or a community centre?. The workers at these centres should be able to give you sound advice and support in following this through, they should direct you to the nearest housing association which supports young people in times of need like yourself. I hope you take my advice and go to one of these places they are more than capeable of supporting young people and wil understand what you are going through.\nHope you sort this out quickly and safely, all the best...

Go to Social Services, Salvation Army,and Churches to see if they can help you out. I take it you need rent assistance to find a new place or stay in the place you are in. These resources may help you. Good Luck.

This would probably be a state or county program.  You are right that HUD is the federal program, and I'm not surprised that the waiting list is very long.  I would start with the counselor or whoever is responsible for your disability insurance (workers' comp insurance carrier or state disability, or perhaps Veteran's Administration), and ask what they know about housing assistance.  Once you have a social worker assigned to you in any one program, part of their job is to know what other programs you may be eligible for, and how to go about applying.\n\nI'm in school now (right now; typing this in lab) on a program run by the state unemployment office but financed by federal money.  I feel guilty about using tax money, but you gotta do what you gotta do.  I take comfort in the fact that I paid taxes -- a huge amount, in my opinion -- for many years before I was laid off.\n\nGood luck!

Talk to a lawyer.  If you feel you can't afford one, go to the Legal Aid Society.  Some areas also have free or very cheap legal help specific to housing questions.  The complaints you have may be validly considered breach of contract on the part of the landlord, and let you out of the lease.

Go to your state assistance office and ask for information on Long term assistance program.  then go to Social Security office to apply for disability benefits. Also contact the House for the blind or rehabilitation services. Look in the phone book under city and county service.  good luck.
