thank you your comment. We are will do everything we can to help you.
IF YOU ARE FACING ABUSE IN YOUR HOME PLEASE CONTACT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR CALL 911.
If you report the crime the police can help you find shelter faster. The police can confirm that your situation is an emergency which will help you get housing or in a shelter faster than applying on your own. Please for your own safety contact HUD, the Police and the other links we leave in this reply. Also note and discuss with the authorities about your marriage. If you are married applying for HUD housing will be tricky if you plan on applying alone. You will likely need to show that you are in an abusive marriage and that your well being is at risk. As mentioned above this will help you get and emergency application status and move your application to the front of the waiting list. However if you just tell the PHA office that you need housing they wont know how serious your situation is and may require you to apply as a married couple if you aren’t divorced. (this is our opinion)
