God is very good to me. I waited five and a half years and I got my voucher in 2017, in March.
I was supposed to move into my new place on March 6, 2017 but I was locked up for 22 months and when I got out, I put in a lot of footwork to get my voucher back.
I finally got my voucher. Friendship Place was a lot of help. They went to the meeting and spoke on my behalf to help me get the voucher back. I appreciated so much what they did for me. A member of Street Sense Media was also there to speak on my behalf. With their help and God’s, I got my voucher back and I am so excited to have my own apartment. It means the world to me; I don’t ever have to be homeless again.
I’ve been to so many transitional programs in the course of being homeless and I dealt with so many different people—so many of the people I dealt with were very nice and some were not-so-nice, shared rooms with people over these years and went through dealing with their problems as well as my own — now I can just enjoy my new place.
I must now wait only another 2 to 3 weeks before my voucher is in my hands and then I can look for my apartment.
If you pray, God will answer.
