Does anyone have a family member on
SSI that has subsidized or low income housing?
What is the average cost of rent?
It is a sliding scale.
My son was eligible, but we did not think it would be a good idea, because in an apartment setting. Neighbors would be to close.

My son is on ssi and gets subsidized housing. I think he pays $200 and they pay $300 a month. They aren’t the best apartments.

My sister who is schizo affective gets disability and lives in subsidized housing and she pays about $212 and her utilities are included. She has relapsed on drugs once or twice and was robbed once. The bad thing about subsidized housing is it usually is in a bad neighborhood where there is a lot of drug and crime activity. My sz son wanted to live in subsidized housing but I refused to support that because he is a recovering addict and he has no ability to say no to people when asked for something whether it be letting a stranger into his house, giving away his money, or trying a new drug he is offered. He would be easily victimized.
