#housing needs

She didn't tell me until last night, but she was unable to raise enough money, even with help from her family, to avoid eviction.

And now, she has to be out of her apartment by this Friday (13 February, 2026). And she only has enough money for a few nights in a hotel.

She's responsible for three teenage daughters, and an infant granddaughter.

She starts a new job, today (after searching for work for 4 months), but she won't get paid for another two weeks.

So I'm reopening my crowdfunding campaign to help pay for a few more nights in the hotel, until she can find more permanent housing.

In the meantime, we found out why no one would hire her. When she quit the home health agency I'd signed up for, her former boss put into her record accusations of Elder Abuse. Her primary job at the agency was Scheduling, and I was the only client she worked with regularly. She'd only gone into two other client's homes once, to fill in. And neither of them were elderly, or had dementia. So he just made up that allegation out of spite.

(And yes, I know I only have her word for that, but I've also seen her every day since July, and I can't imagine anyone with a less abusive or even grumpy personality; And I also have records that show this company was overcharging me for services not even rendered)

Anyway, if you want to contribute to the emergency hotel fund, my [email protected] account name is:

In 2015, the homelessness crisis in Seattle was declared by Mayor Ed Murray to have reached a “state of emergency” severe enough to prompt him to request support from the federal government. Two years later, homelessness in the Emerald City is still on the rise as rents across the city and nearby towns continue to soar.

The cost of rent in Seattle and the surrounding King County area has exploded in recent years. While luxury condominiums have never been more plentiful, affordable housing that is accessible to working people is difficult to find. According to data compiled by the real estate website Zillow, the average cost of renting a home in King County has risen approximately $800 since September of 2012. That is an average increase of 68 percent in less than five years.

The rapid rise in the cost of living in Seattle has forced many workers to move further and further away from the city in search of affordable rent. As workers commute from greater distances away, public transportation becomes less practical, forcing many to add the cost of a vehicle to their necessary expenses. In Washington state, that also means mandatory insurance coverage- and more expenses. When these are added to the ordinary expenses of maintenance and licensing it can become an unsustainable burden for many. This is particularly true of retail and service industry workers, who are routinely required to work irregular part-time hours that make reliance on public transit impractical.

The $15.00 minimum wage in the cities of Seattle and SeaTac has been a much needed relief for many working class people suffering as a result of the high cost of housing. While the hard-won increase in the minimum wage has improved material conditions for many in the Seattle area, the astronomical increase in the cost of housing has outstripped those gains and left even more people without the ability to provide the necessities of life for themselves or their families.

Help a girl in desperate need to raise money to put a deposit on a house. Trying to raise $200,000 AUD, please help! ❤️

Wouldn't normally do this, but I have only a few months to move out of my current house. Any help would be appreciated to buy my dream home....

Hey guys! I made a YouTube channel to try and raise awareness for the gofundme I made for my sister. Here is the video that explains the situation: https://youtu.be/ue5p-WQO1bM

This festive season the real estate business in Noida and Ghaziabad is witnessing a big boom owing to the pent-up demand created by the pandemic. With work-from-home options available, employees are now looking for a bigger house to manage their work needs. As per a report by India Today, the real estate in the cities has grown to over 30 per cent in the festive season. The spike in the demand has been the sharpest in recent history.

“We are also in a process to make a society, especially for people working from home because the WFH is going to stay, people will be working on a hybrid mode and that’s why the demand for such homes is high,” told Sanjay Sharma, MD, SKA builders, to India Today.

The increase in demand is not just confined to the usual housing option. The boom is also visible in the luxury housing segment. People are now investing more in luxury housing space as they were forced to remain in a confined space when the pandemic hit unannounced.

People, who waited for two years amid the lockdown, upgraded their budgets and are looking for luxury options.

“People who were about to buy flats worth Rs 90 lakh to one crore are now opting to invest in luxury housing. We have witnessed a spike of 30-40 per cent during the festive season,” Yukti Nagpal, owner of Gulshan Homes was quoted as saying.
