Does anyone know if there some kind of government grant, or ? that would help?


I'm on disability for over 10 years ($900.monthly for this year) due to mental slowness that's effective stability in the work enviroment, but that's not the issue. (10 years ago) being awarded $700. monthly at that time, could not continue to live in California. With some back pay (at that time) was able to afford to relocate to the next state in rural Nevada and finding a detach small home for rent in a rental housing development, much less than a cheap apartment in California. For the most part I was able to live within my means both finacially, and health wise. It's easier in this type of dwelling to alot having pets (have 2 cats and 1 dog) that have also help in my mental health and my mh councler to back me up on that. Much advantages of living in a rural town, however not when it comes to specialty health care, having unreliabe people, poor (very lacking) transportation is an issue, but even so, the lack ammenties, especially as I get older, but years away from being a senior citizen for qualifing for those type of programs.
10 years ago did not see these issues, but needed to live within my means as I had stated.
My low income only qualifies me for the (SLMB) state program that my low income is not consider low enough, $10. month food stamps and Dr. visit co-pay. The last 5 years I continue to be on the monthly section 8 hud voucher program that pays for the partial rent, and only can be used anywhere in "rural" Nevada, not Washoe, Churchill, and Clark counties. Rural Nevada does not provide specialty needs as I stated.
With my mental health condition make it too difficult to handle big major town.
The need to relocate to a situation that would assess my needs may not be by choice, and if not in the very state I live but to a state that would, I could not afford the move, and the hud waiting period.

Does anyone know if there some kind of government grant, or ? that would help?
My MH counsler does not know of any help that would assess these needs, the local section 8 hud doesn't know, friends and family, are unable to help, and the local social services, food stamp office can't help.
I felt I've done my homework, and it seems to appear Missouri is one possible few states with programs that may assess my needs, if need be(?).
In asking my local hud office about continuing, they said that the other state must assume the vouchers and the that other state said the state (Nevada) that I currently live that they must assume it.
I hope someone out there in the yahoo answer community knows of some kind of help,
instead of "I don't know what to tell you". Thank you.

I feel for you, can't say I know the solution....i'll look around at a few sites and see if there is anything I can come up with...in the mean time, God be with you.

I saw a commercial for Astrive Student Loans and it is NOT just for tuition and books. It can also be used for room and board. You can get between $1,500 and $40,000 a year depending upon your specific needs. You can defer payment till after you graduate. Have you ever gotten paid to go to college before?

Also there's other odd jobs you can do where no one can fire you for having emotional problems, or because they have 100 "better" applicants waiting in the wings, or because they feel you are too slow for the job. For example, this one very nice lady had a job selling chips and snacks. It doesn't pay all that much but it is your own job and no boss to fire you inevitably. You get them wholesale in bulk and you sell them to people who do not want to walk all the way to the store or drive there and they are somewhat hungry and willing to pay a little bit more for the convenience.

You REALLY should contact your local Social Security Administration office. You mentioned SLMB, are you on SSI?? If so, there is a time-period while on SSI and then you become eligible for Medicare. Also, the SLMB would make you eligible for extra help in paying for your prescriptions. I don't know if you have an agency that works specifically with people with disabilities to get you what you need, but that may be an option. Also, a Health Insurance Information and Assistance Program (HIICAP) Counselor in your county may be able to help you as well. Your states toll free number is 1-800-307-4444 and the local number is 1-702-486-3796. While the HIICAP program is usually for seniors and health insurance related questions, as the HIICAP counselor for Cattaraugus County in NY, I handle numerous requests not limited to health insurance. Good luck.
