hey aaron,  wonder if you've done anything for yourself in working towards getting on the lists of low income or sec 8?  lots of competition and lots of people willing and able to jump through their hoops. takes awhile too for what i hear.   they can't just give these away. how long would you be able to pay rent?  i suspect you could get your stuff together and move forward, i can tell by your posts that you're plenty smart, but it doesn't happen overnight....
 curious - why call yourself the homeless jew
