Mom lives with me, she's at an advanced stage of dementia. There's a lot going on that is too overwhelming. Our apartment complex is being demolished at the end of the year. I've been struggling to find us susiasized housing . We do qualify under elderly, senior, disabled and invoke based. I've gone onto the main Charlotte, Mecklenburg Housong website but am very confused. I don't know areas and I don't know how to navigate the website. I've bee. Struggling with this for three years and have not been able to make any progress.
To add more stress, we've just discovered bedbugs. No idea how it happened but we've had three exterminators and have been told three different things. We don't have the $750 to $1100 that was quoted. Over and above the financial issue, it's an incredible amount of physical work, not to mention emotional too. Physically I'm not well enough or able and my health is already in jeopardy due to taking care of mom. I have one person who could help minimally however it's going to take a lot. For a week I've been I such a panic about this situation.
I called the Medicaid social worker and she said there's nothing she can do. I've told the rental office (we are not currently living in subsidized housing) and they said we need to "take care of it". I'm not sure what to do, my mom has dementia, I'm disabled, were on a fixed income only receiving social security. And then there's the huge issue of finding subsidized housing as soon as possible and now the bed bugs .....!!!
The only other thing I can find is this page: harmeck.org/mecklenburg/county/CommunitySupportServices/HomelessServices/Pages/CoordinatedAssessment.aspx - though they apparently don't intervene directly unless someone is 72 hours away form being homeless, there is a list of agencies to call.
