[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 740604, member: 23371"] One point here which is critical. After 18 she is an adult and must apply to everything herself. You must have her sign the applications. But with conduct disorder you can have difficulty getting her to cooperate. The only way around this is to go to court to have her declared incompetent. If she just learned to count money it may not be difficult. This is by state so different states different rules and procedures. Ultimately you may have to go this route anyway. The urgent issue is housing. Wish I could say I know a quick answer. One of the places I would call would be the county social services. In fact, I'd take her there and wait on line to see a social worker. Phone calls get info. But sitting in their office in the best way to get urgent action. They will recommend shelters but seeing her will make them understand how inappropriate that is. What you want is Section 8. Some counties will have immediate housing subsidy and some a long waiting list. The other thing to ask for is public housing. Yes, often not the safest places. But some cities have specific public housing for disabled and or elderly. And take all your files with you incl birth cert, medication records, etc. I'd also find a local parent support group. For parents of disabled, mentally ill, autism,.. My area has more than one for each of these. There's also ARC, mental health assoc,...etc. Some of these may have their own housing. Unless you are retiring SSDI doesn't come into the discussion so forget about that. SSI is what you're applying for and you need to do that at ss. In SOTs state its done in the state social services dept but that doesn't apply in every state. How long the application will take to get approved will also vary greatly by state. Certainly months. Not in time for the imminent eviction. But mandatory in the long term. [/QUOTE]
