[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 740609, member: 23371"] One other note: she can work and get any of the services we've mentioned. Working only means that the amount of the subsidy goes down. On sect 8 her portion goes up if she works. SSI goes down based on how much she makes. I've never heard of a program that didn't encourage work. Frankly, she's unlikely to ever make enough to support herself and everyone knows that. Inability to share space and keep a job go with the territory and these programs know that. Which is not to say that she couldn't lose a subsidy for her behavior. Eg Section 8 will drop people for not paying their co-pay, not paying for property damage, etc. Public housing will evict for convictions, illegal roommates, etc Hopefully you'll have found options before the next eviction. Sadly, it happens. [/QUOTE]
