Curious, how did brother get a 2 bedroom under HUD in NJ. Did he have a child? I deal with HUD in NJ with my nephew and if there isn't a child or other person involved, you can only get a one bedroom as a single person.
A HUD apartment complex nephew applied to does send out a questionnaire every year asking if he is still interested in an apt there.
Hi JoAnne- No he and my mom lived together in that 2 BR since the early 80’s. He was allowed to keep it after her death. He was on SSDI since his early 30’s due to schizophrenia; mom was the senior at that time. By the time my brother passed away in 2019 management changed and took in all low income folks. Now that complex is old with everything needing replacement. He was spoiled and wanted a 2 BR when I wanted him to move to MD near me. Basically he was reluctant to move as he knew he would never get a 2BR voucher apartment.
Have you called and asked if you are still on the list? If they haven’t heard from you they may assume you are no longer interested.
I wanted my brother to move near me after my mom passed away in 2013. He already lived in a senior rent subsidized apartment in NJ. He got on a list in my state in 2015.
Brother died in 2019 and an apartment never came up for him. I did call the senior apartment rental manager at least every 6 months to assure his name was still on the list- it was.
One barrier was brother wanted a 2 BR apartment vs a 1 BR (as he had in NJ). Are you on the list for a 1 BR?
I know Yonkers and it is a busy metro area just north of NYC. I imagine the waiting list is long. 6 yrs IS a long time, however.
I recommend calling to make sure your name is listed if you haven’t done so. Good luck to you!
Sorry, we can not help you with this. We r a forum of Caregivers from all over the US, Canada, UK and other countries.
I am assuming the housing you are trying to get into is run by HUD. Someone has to leave or die for a unit to come open. I would think the list of applicants is a mile long. All I can suggest is call your local Office of Aging or Housing Authority.
