oh no.

When I got to work this morning there was a fax from one of the local housing commissions. They are not accepting anymore applications for housing unless you are a victim of a national disaster. My first thought was that we could still have our families apply because homelessness is a national disaster. Unfortunately I went on to read something about FEMA having to declare it a disaster and blah blah blah. Then I was talking to one of the women staying with us and she was frustrated because of a conversation she had this morning. She had gone to Headstart to enroll her daughter and met another woman enrolling her child. The other woman was a victim of a national disaster. She has only been in the area for a few days and already has housing and a $2000 debit card that she used for furniture and household goods. I didn't know what to say. I don't know what to say. I'm still struggling with being glad that people are getting help and being angry that because people are getting help so many more people are being bumped to the bottom of another list.
