I’m living with my mom and step dad. They want me to leave but I don’t think I have the brains to do it. I feel like I don’t have a good enough income to do it. I feel like if I moved on my own I would have to be evicted after the first month for not paying rent.
How do I do this???
Look for section 8 housing. Google Section 8 housing and the state you live in.
I moved out of my dad’s house twenty years ago. I was thirty. It was good for me, eventually. I couldn’t have done it but for section 8 housing. There’s a waiting list. Get on it and inform your parents.
Could you get a place with assisted living, thats what i did when i first left my parents home.
Wow that’s really tough situation
I don’t know who you have to talk to about this like your managers at work. You could you tell them your mom is wanting you to live on your own and see what kind of advice they give you.
A lot of people find roommates who they trust and they share rent with but I know that can be unstable and if you lose the roommate then you’re dealing with that eviction issue again. Also I don’t know about your symptoms and how you would deal with living with somebody who’s like a stranger to you, also could be an issue, or if you prefer to live alone and would not like somebody else living with you.
You could go and look for support like Medicaid and for health insurance and supplemental income and food stamps

I know if your bank accounts are under $2000 all the time and you’re not making over a certain amount of money each month you can get government assistance health insurance like Medicaid And food stamps and supplemental income checks each month
In my state of Michigan we have a department of human health services
What does DHS do in Michigan?
MDHHS services include: food assistance, cash assistance, child care, medical assistance, home weatherization, utility assistance, burial services, child support, foster care and adoption, abuse and neglect.
I’m in a supported housing situation that you might also have in your area. Rent is $629 a month which is cheap. I share an apartment with one other guy and we are on our own except every three weeks we meet with a counselor here to talk about any household issues. I spent years in group homes though before I got this situation. Group homes aren’t all bad places to live and you could maybe live in one until you’re ready to live on your own.
Supported living in a group home .
Or a support worker visit you once a week.
Maybe get by on disability pension.
If living on your own feels overwhelming maybe a group home is most helpful to you.
Or have you got a friend you can rent with who can help you with everything?
Hope you will get the support and help you need.
I couldn’t cope in the rental market by myself.
Couldn’t afford it or cope with maintenance etc
Also there’s a housing crisis and no houses for rent.
Thankfully I rent of someone who loves and cares for me and I get help and support.
I live by myself but get help with changing light bulb need it be or any other thing really.
It’s tough out there not going to lie. Work for landlord as building maintenance or management. Thats for rooming houses too. Use your religious/ ethnic support services/ charities. Use social media to get a group together to live with. Mind nobody wants to live with schiz. Move to inexpensive area. Don’t go transient unless you really have to. It’s rough. Long boring days with no money. Sleeping in shelters and outside. Try to follow parents rules until you get a few grand together. Put first and last on cheap room and then work fastfood.
I am with the other people on here, rent is going to be your biggest hurdle. If you can get a room with shared living area that would be much less. I wouldn’t be able to make it on my own here, the cost of living is too high for what I get. I’m just fortunate enough to have my name on the deed to our house. I didn’t get that for nothing mind you, I spent all my waking hours with my father for years before and while he had terminal cancer until the end.
