Getting out of an SRO

State Housing Questions
1

Hello. I am a 53 yr old single woman on disability. I have lived in an SRO ( single room occupancy) for 8 years. I am having trouble getting my case worker to do anything to help get me out of here and into an apartment. Ive asked her several times for a housing choice voucher application and she cant seem to find the time for me. After 8 years i should be on the waiting list by now. Now san francisco isnt excepting any more applications. I missed the open window again. I am also interested in learning how to get a low income housing appartment. Can you help me? At least get me some applications to get the ball rolling.

Hi Cameron!
Thank you for coming to our forum for help. I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your case worker. Have you or your case worker ever looked into Section 8 vouchers or low-income housing in your area? You may first check here for information on Section 8 and here for affordable housing near you.

Here are some resources that may be useful in your area:

  1. San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development - provides a list of affordable housing programs in San Francisco. You can access the website through this link: https://sfmohcd.org/affordable-rental-housing
