Wednesday was my day off so I figured I’d go talk directly to the apartment folk because God knows at this point I don’t believe anything the shelter people say—basically a CIA outpost as far as I’m concerned.😂 No wonder they’re NOT trying to get me to leave the shelter. They’ve got a TI where they want him.😂
Time is also running out. Remember, they are deliberately trying to delay things past the 10/20 cutoff so I can be stuck in the shelter way past the 11/01 move-in date. Trust me, THAT’s the plan.🤔
I spoke to the housing specialist’s boss before I left just to make sure I know exactly what it is they claim the apartment folk have not given them. The housing specialist took off as I was walking towards her boss’ office—always sus.😂🤦♀️
But anyway, I’m headed to the apartment folk to see what they have to say about this nonsense. Stay tuned.
So I got to the apartments at about 11:45am and explained to the security guy my urgent situation. Typically you need an appointment to see people in the leasing office, but…🤷♀️.
So anyway, he called the leasing office on 2nd floor and the lady I came to see—one that handles my paperwork, and I spoke to yesterday, is NOT in the office.🙄. There’s another lady in the office but she’s not immediately available, so the security guy asks me to wait in the lounge area as he tries to get in touch with her.
So after a few minutes, I finally get a chance to speak to the lady in the leasing office. She’s not really in the leasing department (she’s management😳), but she tries to help me anyway—good on her. I told her about the back and forth between the apartment lady and the shelter folk, but I really didn’t want to get her into all that—she seemed like a very good lady—one of those REAL Christians, not the Deep State type😂🙄
So I explain to her my situation, including the fact that time is of the essence—the 10/20 cutoff date. As I said earlier, the person who typically handles my stuff is not in the office today. The management lady tells me to take a seat while she makes a few phone calls.
After a few minutes she comes and breaks it down to me like this. She said the two ladies who would do the “lease countersigning”, are BOTH not in the office today. They don’t do it at the office where I’m at today, but they are both off today. Hey, I’m just telling you what she told me😂🤷♀️
So she added that the digital lease countersigning goes on on a queue system, and that I was THIRD on the list.😳 She also said that the digital countersigning ladies will be working tomorrow (10/16/25)—both of them, so I’m thinking my stuff should be done sometime tomorrow, and certainly by Friday—unless CIA outpost aka the shelter comes up with a NEW “problem”.🙄
Anyways, so that’s where we’re at. Hopefully the digital countersigning ladies handle their biz tomorrow and have the stuff submitted to the shelter folk so my CityFHEPS paperwork can by submitted either Thursday 10/16 or Friday 10/17.
But remember what we’re dealing with here. This is usually a VERY SIMPLE process for a regular CityFHEPS applicant. Nobody has to go through these extra loopholes, chasing landlords for countersignatures and what not. The ONLY REASON for all that extra stuff is….the program. Never forget that🤔
