Try moving.

Maybe she can't. Maybe her bank account is empty now, and she can't buy the gasoline.

There are plenty of places in this country where she can find work and only pay 25-40% of her income towards rent.

That solution works for most cases, but sometimes you have folks who stay in the high cost of living area because that's where their skills are in demand. And, in all honesty, sometimes folks are out on their luck.

That said, Ms. Harvey has three grown children. Why are they not helping her?

Did she try to get into Senior Housing? Or doesn’t she want to give up her dogs? What happened to Social Security? She’s 67.

I bet she buys dog food and other non-essentials as amazingly most do who are down on their luck. Gee look at me I cannot afford rent or gas but I have cigarettes, beer, a cell phone, and feed my 5 pets. I see it every day.

She's a loan processor.

She has social security, and with an $8 an hour job, it can’t be any specialized skill. She’s 67, and intelligent enough to have been a loan officer, she could get a greeter job at WalMart.
