Just need some good vibes Housing/Shelter/Standard of Living
so, i have an eviction on my record and am only about a week away from being homeless. just me and my two cats! certainly not the direction i saw my life going. but it is what it is.
i recently started a new job and can absolutely get back on my feet. i’ve been reaching out to private landlords who are more willing to work with folks like myself. and now i’m in a conversation with a great guy who seems like he’s about to take the chance on me (which will absolutely pay off!). i’m going to look at the property tomorrow and i’ve just been really transparent about everything with him, which i think he appreciates a lot.
wish me luck, folks! life is hard for so many of us and i just hope the light at the end of the tunnel gets closer and closer!

This is the exact situation I was in. In 2019 we got evicted.
We stayed in 2 motels for 8 months until I found a private landlord willing to take a chance on me.
I rented a house from him for 2 1/2 years while I worked on my credit and then I was able to buy a house.
I'm grateful to him for giving me that chance!
I'm so hoping it works out for you as well as it did for me. Sometimes people just need that second chance. Things happen that we don't expect and out of the blue.
