I'm new to Des Moines, and I'm trying to search for some type of housing. Everything is kinda expensive, because I'm on a tight budget. I've been fighting to get disability for some years, and I finally got approved, but only for SSI, I was assuming that I'd get SSDI, but I didn't know the difference, but now I do. I've been hitting the pavement hard everyday making ends meet, doing everything to change from where I was. Now it feels like I've hit a wall. I'm still optimistic, and I know I gotta my patient, but I've been progressive and I don't want the momentum to stop, I don't want to be stagnant. I thought if I asked around, something might happen, but I'm tired of being under someone else's thumb, so to speak. I'm 39 with some life experience, and I don't want to fall back. Is anyone looking for a roommate, or does anyone know where I can get help finding my own place? I'm already on the public housing waiting list, but it's moving so slow. I have a possible fall back option, but that's under authority of living in a structured environment, which I have been living in for the past 10 or more months. That's about it for now. Thanks for reading.
