nice mantra - skip it
ie:
The hoops we have to jump through to get someone into housing are insane. Rd qualified for HPRP funding (Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program) that would help with move in costs. The paperwork for the landlord was 9 pages. To get $1,000 in assistance would probably cost the government $5,000 in admin costs. Worse yet, once the paperwork is approved, there is an 18 day wait for an inspection and who knows what else. That would mean Rd would have to remain living in a winter shelter for another three weeks or more.
Ya just have to love Shelene, when I faxed the paperwork to her she called me and said “we are going to skip it” and through Skip1.org she helped with the needed move in costs!
