Gonna need to be a lot of Golden Girl living situations. No way can a typical single senior afford $1000/month rent, like the one in the story who then got into Section 8 housing.

Getting accepted for Sect. 8 is not the same as getting into a Sect. 8 apartment, while being om SS means the senior can move anywhere in the US without losing that income. Thus she could escape CA for a lower cost apt, such as

Wichita, Kansas: $470

• Wichita, Kansas: $470.
• Cleveland, Ohio: $525.
• Detroit, Michigan: $550.
• Tucson, Arizona: $559.50.
• El Paso, Texas: $599.50.
• Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: $650.
• St. Louis, Missouri: $700.
• Albuquerque, New Mexico: $715.

But being where God wants you to be, as an instrument of His grace and Truth, as one bought by the sinless shed blood of the Son of God (see tag), is most important, and God will provided what is needed to do that work, if we see 1st His kingdom and righteousness, and repent for our failures to do so as we should. .

Yes, I agree being a poor senior in CA seems like a bad choice. I guess some people don’t feel they can make a change so late in life.
