A strong desire for stability and a place to call home

Thank you for taking the time in reading my summary. I have been homeless since 2016 since a divorce. I’ve been very lucky tho as my profession has allowed me to live-in people’s homes. I was able to pay off a debt that took 5 years for me to pay off. I was terminated from my position due to Covid. I have been unemployed for almost 11 months still trying to find work in my profession. I had to take my job search to a backseat as a family member took seriously ill with multiple stays in the hospital. The hospital was a distance and I was the main transportation in taking my elderly parent to visit every other day to see my mom. I still continued to interview however was trying to figure out what I should do as I did not know how much time my mom had left. Thankfully she finally recovered and has a new doctor!

It seems that due to inflation and due to me being an older candidate in my profession has proven difficulty in me acquiring employment. The younger candidates are now moving into live-in options due to the rise in rents. I am thankful I’ve been sleeping in an office on an inflatable mattress and I have ½ a shelf in the garage fridge to have some groceries in. It is wearing on me if I am honest. I’d like to more have options on the work front however it’s to the point of not having a place to live to commit to a position. I am in the South where I would be paid considerably lower. I also feel panicked as I have no retirement, no savings and no health insurance.

I took a course about a year ago that was offered Free through Cornell. It was an entrepreneurial course for women. My goal is to work in this field for another 10 years and hopefully start a business when I can leave this field.

I know everyone has special circumstances and just as much tenacity as I do. I feel like I’m losing steam and wracking my brain on how to get myself out of this situation. I think back to 2016 and driving a packed car with only one key on my keyring which was to my car. It was such a profound moment. There are different kinds of homelessness but the heart is always the same.

I have one kidult that I have not seen in quite some time. I do not have a place for her to stay. I am actually quite embarrassed of my situation with having struggled off and on. Living in an a small office space, air mattress and showering at the gym and unemployed at the moment. I know she knows I try hard and I would love to invite her to stay and visit in my own space.

There is an organization that said they could help me if I could come down with a down payment and I would need a job to get a loan as well. They would build a tiny home and match my downpayment. I do not have either. I would prefer a tiny home on wheels for it’s small and I would be safer than in an apartment building due to my hearing impairment. I am just looking for a little space to call my own. Most tiny homes on wheels cost about 60-70K however due to inflation etc that price has skyrocketed which mean that 20% down is even harder to achieve.

The image below is a tiny house on wheels. This is not my image nor do I take credit for it. This just gives you an idea of what the house looks like. It’s not a traditional RV. It actually has very good insulation and is good for long term living. It will not break down in materials for a very long time like an RV would. The organization actually builds the tiny home once funding is secured. It is actually much more modest. Thanks for your time and consideration.
