  • Post Housing Voucher Drama 092425 Edition

    Wednesday 09/24/25 was my day off. A week earlier I had shot a “Hail Mary” email to the NY Governor’s office complaining about my hostage situation at the NYC shelter. I didn’t expect any response but, why not?🤷‍♀️

    Well, well, well as I’m lazying around in bed enjoying my day off, I decide to check my email at about 2pm and wouldn’t you know. NY Governor’s had NOT ONLY responded to my email but they DIRECTED HRA to look into my case.😳 Boy, I love NY. I should have ditched TX a long time ago.😂

    As a matter of fact, when I looked at my phone I saw several missed calls and a voicemail from HRA. Now, that’s a miracle. You can never get HRA on the phone without burning at least 3-4 hours on hold. I don’t know what the folks at NY Governor’s office office told them but they got their a$$ on the phone quick.😂

    Interestingly, they also gave me a direct email for ME to submit CityFHEPS documents directly to HRA—I guess their slick way of sidestepping the housing specialist.😳Even they know something’s rotten about this situation.

    And speaking of the housing specialist, guess what the voicemail HRA left me said? It said they have NOT, repeat NOT received my signed lease and some form DSS8QW-147N, which the housing specialist was supposed to submit right after I signed the lease on 08/26/25. They are asking ME to send it. Can you believe that? A TI is caught up in a sabotage mission for real!!😂

    Anyway, I sent them the lease, but I will have to contact the apartment folks and have them send the documents. People get fired behind these dumb stuff, folks. Watch what I tell you. Stay tune

  • WIFI Bombshell On 092225

    Monday 09/22/25 was my day off. Nowadays the kids go to school so you can actually enjoy your day off 😂

    So I enjoyed my rest until about 4pm when I decided to step out to go get some fresh air…and coffee of course.

    Went to my local deli, got me a coffee and a pastry, and sat at the local park doing my favorite thing—tweeting away, or is it Xing away?😂

    Anyway, my phone started having connectivity issues—slow etc, the usual stuff TIs go through, so I decided to check if there was some public WiFi in the area—one of the great things about NYC.👍 As I’m scrolling through the WIFI options, look what a TI ran into😳😳. Lord Have Mercy!!

    A few seconds later, it was gone. They probably went, “oops, he wasn’t supposed to see that”😂and made it disappear.


    There was this illegally parked Mercedes just idling there. That’s the only “suspect” I could think of, even though it’s hard to pin down this stuff. Just because one thinks they may be the one doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. I just found it odd that it was illegally parked right next to where I was, that’s all🤷‍♀️

    Long story short, I got out of there faster than Usain Bolt😂

    Also something to think about the next time you go🙄while listening to this TI bitch about getting stuck at a NYC shelter for over a year, even though super qualified for CityFHEPS, not getting NY state financial aid for college even though clearly eligible…🤔

    If this doesn’t answer your question, then you’re clearly not looking for an answer🤷‍♀️

    Chilling at the SAME spot at about 7:45pm, just taking in the lovely Fall “sweater weather” and boom!!👇😳

    ***Updated Monday 11/03/25***
    On my off day, and was chilling at the SAME spot at about 6:40 pm—taking in the nice Fall weather before going back home. I tried to access the local public WiFi hotspot but was having issues for some reason. When I looked closely at the WiFi options, look what my eyes bumped into.😳 Is that WHY a TI is having issues connecting to the local public WiFi?🤔🤦‍♀️. Could they at least HIDE that name?😂

    Question now is, what ELSE do they do to targeted individuals as they sit peacefully at a public park, library..,Are they ONLY watching them? Why are you watching somebody seating peacefully at a park minding his own business? Hmm 🤔 I think you get the DEW drift🤔

  • Post Housing Voucher Drama—091525 Update

    If you’ve been keeping up with my Post Housing Voucher Drama posts, you’ll realize that we’re are in the final phases of CityFHEPS housing voucher ordeal because I signed a lease for an apartment on 08/26/25.

    My understanding after signing that lease on 08/26/25, was that my CityFHEPS paperwork would be submitted to the city, and if there were any issues/fluctuations in my weekly pay, the city would kick back my paperwork so we can do “rebudgeting” and then resubmit the paperwork

    The important thing to remember is that the representation from housing specialist at the facility where I live, was that she DID submit my paperwork. As a matter of fact last week, on my Monday off (09/08/25), I checked with her on this specific issue—whether my paperwork had been submitted to the city—and she said yes. She did however tell me that she thinks my application would be kicked back, and that I needed to submit my 4 recent paystubs so we can do rebudgeting.

    So Monday 09/15/25 comes around, and I decide to swing by her office to see whether my application had been kicked back for rebudgeting, right? Guess what she tells me this time? That she hasn’t submitted my paperwork since I signed the lease because I hadn’t given her the paystubs. Can you believe that?😳

    Her story just shifted on a dime, from I submitted your paperwork but we may have to do rebudgeting to I’ve NEVER submitted your paperwork.

    See what TIs go through? Mfs just playing around with you.😂All this time I’ve been sitting here thinking my CityFHEPS paperwork was submitted right after I signed the lease on 08/26 but nope, the Deep State has just been sitting here running down the clock—and then trying to pin the blame on me.

    Obviously if she told me the paystubs were required BEFORE my paperwork was submitted, I would have given them to her on 08/26. She told me the she submitted my paperwork, but we MAY need rebudgeting.

    Now it’s my word against hers—you know, the good ol’ plausible deniability. If you know, you KNOW who specializes in that tactic. The important thing is she’s EXTENDED the clock by 20 days.🤔

    Anyway today I stepped out of my “gentleman & a scholar” mode and let her know I don’t want to play games anymore. I pulled a Karen move,😂and asked to speak to her boss—and she DID come and talk to me.😳

    She assured me that she’ll make sure the rebudgeting happens today 09/15/25. Remember that, because I’m sure we’ll come back here a week after today to find out “Oh, we couldn’t do the rebudgeting because you needed to submit the 4 paystubs and…”😂🖕

    I know you are bound to ask, why would they subject somebody to all this back and forth over a CityFHEPS voucher, which is typically a SMOOTH process if you meet all the requirements? Good question, but you’ve obviously been sleeping through the previous lessons.😂. It makes PERFECT sense when you think about it with this, at the back of your mind.🤔

    Anyway, stay tuned, folks

  • Post Housing Voucher Drama—090925 Edition

    As I stated in my previous post, I ended up re-signing a lease after the issues with me newly adult son were resolved. I had thought it was going to be an October lease but it was still the September lease I had earlier signed, with slight modifications made for my son.

    That means I’m technically a resident there, and just awaiting approval from the CityFHEPS. The process is supposed to take 30 days, but it’s typically less than that. 

    So under ordinary circumstances I’d be moving into the new apartment in the 09/20 timeframe. But we all know how it goes when a targeted individual arrives on the scene. 20 days will be two years😂🤦‍♀️

    Anyway, this time, like I may have mentioned earlier, we’re gonna do something different. I’ve put together a super tight lawsuit (80% chance of success—you have to read it). I’m not just going to sit there and waste away, waiting on HRA to move me into the apartment. I’m getting ready to file this suit this week and then—it will be a bitchfest after that.😂

    I’ll bitch about this stuff so much—call my member of Congress, NY times, even the NY Governor’s office😂 Simply put, I’ll bitch about it so bad, somebody running interference at HRA is bound to get a call from one of the bigwigs. You’ll be surprised how much bitching helps/works. This project is so important—filing suit—that I’ve practically suspended school this week. All the focus is on getting the suit filed. After that, you’ll hear about it. Trust me on that😂

    Also remember, a lot of the things they do to TIs are illegal, so they prefer the secrecy. When you bring attention to the issue, they knock it off🤔

    And just the latest greatest example in “bitching helps”, is the case with QCC College. Remember I almost got locked out of school this Fall because of some $700 tuition charge for a class I never attended. NY State aid was supposed to cover that, but I really don’t know what kind of witchcraft is going on over there😂. Anyway, I bitched about the charges and they dropped them.🤔

    Also remember, it’s a VERY GOOD suit, meaning I might actually score some much-needed $$ in the NYC. It’s not a long shirt by any stretch of the imagination. Boatloads of precedents. So…why not?😳 I may do so well, that I become some kind of housing activist in the NYC😳
