text: seriously can anyone live on social security disability? and not have to live in the projects. not to put down the projects, i'm sure there are alot of wonderful people that live in that part of a city. housing programs are implemented to help people with low income get into a house. right? wrong!!! i don't qualify, income too low. so their saying that i'm too poor to get help that is designed to help people with low incomes (social security disabitiy). this is absolutly rediculous. and save the "well at least you have that",crap. i'd like to see a government offical live on it. ha!!!!! lots of heartless people answering this question i see.i agree with you 100%.in my area,if you qualify for section 8,that is where they put you,in the "projects".most private landlords do not accept section 8 because they know once they do,they always have to take section 8 people and don't have a say in who their renters will be.i receive ssd.after i pay my rent,i have $250.00 left a month to pay for everything else.it is easy for people who haven't walked in our shoes to condemn and say "get a job".i would love to get a job,i was a nurse for 20+ years before i was disabled.i have been disabled since birth,but still went to nursing school and worked until my disability became too severe.i miss working every day,but i am to the point where i can't be up for more than a few hours before i have to rest. people tend to think that we gets tons of money,or that "they" are paying for it.they need to get a life and walk in the shoes of a disabled person for just one week,and try to live on what you get and keep your utilities on and food in your stomach.
