      I am a 58 yr old divorced woman.  About 6 years ago, my ex-husband was dying and needed someone to help him thru his illness.  He had a heart transplant and is still not well but is better.  I worked and helped him and then suddenly, I started having heart trouble and was put out of work on total disability.  I need help in finding housing we can afford as I only have an income of $589 per month from SSI and SS.  His income is 11,692.  It takes everything we make to pay our rent, upkeep our vehicles, buy groceries ect.  I don't know if there is any help for us but if we could get into a smaller home with cheaper payments and help with paying some bills.  I worked and even after getting sick continued to pay what we could on our incomes as I drew unemployment.  Once that ran out there was no extra money to pay them.  I don't know how to do this except to be as honest as I possible can.  We were living in a 24 ft travel trailer in friends yard but the trailer is in such bad shape as we are it would be impossible to live in again.  Please thank you for any help you may be able to offer.

        Hi hairjenie_2, Please have a look at the links in the section below. The first link is to a federal program that you could apply to asking for money for housing. The second link is to a page where you can see what other federal grants are available from the department of Hosuing and Urban Development. If you browse and search the information on AidPage, it is certain that you will be able to find additional grant opportunities that you and your ex-husband qualify for.
