Does anyone know where my daughter-n-law can go to get help on finding a safe low income room or apartment for rent? She needs help to get my grandson back with her. My son and she have issues with C.P.S. She has been awarded custody, but only needs to separate from my son, for now, until they get their classes completed. They are both living with me. Maybe you know someone or an agency that handles cases like these and can give a referal?

Thanks, D.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Sorry Ladies, my daughter-n-law has reunited with my grandson and my son has found them a small apartment that he is supporting. While it is a good thing that he is supporting them, he is not giving me any money for staying with me. I wanted to thank you all for your thoughts, comments and help with this touchy situation.

Has she checked out WEAVE? They have safe houses for women in domestic situations. I'm not sure about what situation your daughter in law is in but that might be an option for her. If not you could check out craigslist. They always have roomate wanted or renter wanted ads in there and you can find places for cheap sometimes.

look up HUD housing. They have low income housing, and also subsidized housing, which they base your rent on your income, 30% of you income will go for the rent and utilities. You can just look it up on the internet. Depending on where you live, there are usually a few options in each town. Good luck

Im not sure where you live but I know if she goes onto the town your in website and looks at there afforable housing she may be able to find something. I know that Dublin and Pleasanton both have a housing spot on their site that gives links to affortable housing. I think they run about 800 a month for a one bedroom. May be cheaper in other areas.

If your son is working, why not tell HIM to find another place to live? Might be easier than your daughter-in-law finding a place to live, unless she has a REALLY good job. I would do this, if I were in your situation, just to make sure that my grandchild was safe! It's better to tell your son to "be a man" than to lose your grandchild to foster care and the legal system!
Please email me if you want to talk more, I DO care, even if I sound harsh. I would ALWAYS put the baby before the parents. The baby has NO CHOICE! The parents have choices, and have made choices that affect the baby.
Good luck,
J.

P.S. Where does your daughter-in-law live? Where could she live? Does she need to be close to a job/school/family?

Dear D.,

Just get out that wonderful yellow pages of the phone book and start looking. I have solved a lot of problems using that tool.

First go to the County section of the white pages, and then to the city section and the State and start calling, someone will send you to someone else, and eventually you will get what your family so desperately needs. Don't give up!

Good luck, C. N.

yes there are low income apartments in all citys and she can apply to them all, also my apartmen called kern villia in east los angeles has a list she can get on and apply they also have a second propety not far from here and the list is way shorter the thing is to get your name on the list and every 6 monthes they have to update the list and see who all sitll wants one maybe some one has already moved and no longer wants or needs on and so the next person moves up maybe they only need a 2 b/r and they have a 1 b/r ready so the list moves up again you see just have her put in as many apps as possible to better her chances to get one sooner and sometimes the managers helps out but puting you in sooner it just depends hope this helps,,,,,,,,, also go to you local hud and ask for the list of all low income apaprtments in the are she wants and put apps in .....

While I don't know where you live, There is HUD but sometimes it takes a while for them to rent to your daughter in law....My thought would be to check out the shelters in your area.
