Good news

I've been working w/ one of the professors here on campus to organize a conference on affordable housing--takes place on Monday.

Last week I asked her if anybody coming could help me find an affordable place to live.

She said yes, and that there is a brand new building that will be ready in late spring/early summer.

She says that to qualify for one of the "affordable" units, I'd have to make less than 80% of median income for a single person in the city.

I did the calculation--I'm under 50%.

So I left the abuser, for now I have a place to stay, and I soon may have my own affordable place to live.
