Speaking as someone who was recently homeless in Austin after being discharged from a hospital visit stemming from domestic abuse, I can attest to the fact that budgets are stretched thin and that the problem is real. It took them 6 months to get back to me offering me housing help, after which I had already been taken in by one of my sisters up in Chicago.
On a more positive note:yesterday was my first interview since I moved up to Chicago, today was the second round interview and immediately after I was offered a third and final round interview I should hear back today or tomorrow whether I got the position or not. It would be a major step up in my life and would give me financial security and stability for the foreseeable future with significant opportunity for growth and development within the company. I really, really hope I get this job.
