There’s no hope of my finding a place to live. My income isn’t enough for an SRO which is stricter than getting an apartment. Those are shitty jail cell sized rooms you pay as much for as an apartment, to share a bathroom with the building, having to eat all of your meals out as food isn’t allowed, and you can’t have visitors. Even worse is proving income. You can’t prove you have an income at all when everything is done over the internet. I get paid through online payroll services to an online (prepaid) bank account. No paper is exchanged and that’s what they want to see is the paper. Plus I’m makin gnome less at my 2nd job for the time being and it could be 2 months before I would be able to claim that I make enough to rent a $600 room in an SRO or studio apartment. My body hurts. I can barely walk. My legs are so sore. I don’t get to lay down and rest my legs. I just can’t take it anymore. I’ll have to save for a week or two to be able to get a weekend hotel room on my own. My work isn’t going to put me in a hotel anymore because they think I can get in to one of 3 SRO’s they’ve had me contact. I don’t think I will get it, income not being the $1650 bare minimum anymore and not being paid by check to prove that I get paid. This has to end soon. I’m too old for this and in too much pain.

Just want to say I’m sorry you’re going through all this. I wish I could offer more but my heart goes out to you. You deserve so much more.
Can you contact anyone to ask for an income statement or report? Some websites have a maze to go through, but you can get an income report or some kind of report. Unless it’s illegal, most businesses have to have a way to let their employee prove income.
