I hope you have them on the waiting list, even if it is long.

I suggest that you call Social Services in your county and ask for a needs assesment for your parents. They will be able to tell you not only about programs administered by the county but about many other resources that might be available to your parents. I expect that one of the things they will suggest is getting Mother on Medicaid.

Housing is a tough issue for the indigent -- ask the houseless population! Getting some guidance from a professional trained to know the options in your specific area will be very worth the effort.
