A lot has happened since the last time I wrote about this topic. Importantly, HRA went and approved my CityFHEPS application and even sent me $$ for furniture
Per the HRA app they’ve even made payments to the apartment folks, and my first rent contribution is due on 12/01/25. HRA is for real this time, folks.😳 Did the incoming Mayor Mamdani folks get in there and clean house? Hmm. All I know is they have been very “well behaved” since the election😂
The HRA app shows that the money to the apartment was sent right around 11/08/25 so on my day off (Wednesday 11/12) I swung by the apartment to see if I could get the keys so I can, you know, start moving stuff into the apartment.
The apartment managers told me they have NOT yet “received the checks”. Apparently the caseworker is supposed to bring the checks to the apartment folks. That part I didn’t know, but apparently it hasn’t been done—for whatever reason🙄
Anyway, on the bright side, my electricity setup (public grid) was scheduled for today (Friday 11/14/25). So there’s a very good chance that when I stopped by the apartment on Wednesday, the power wasn’t on yet.🤷♀️Could that be the REAL reason they didn’t give me the keys—saving me from walking into darkness?😂 Hmm, could be. 🤔
And no, I didn’t act a fool with the apartment folks—I know that’s what you’re thinking.😂Its fait accompli in many ways, so there’s no need for that. I should be moving out any day now. You notice I’ve also toned down on the constant bitchin’ about HRA on Twitter. I mean it, they’ve been super good lately.
I’ll keep you posted on when I get the keys. Stay tuned.
As you might have read from my previous post, after a lot of pushing and prodding, the housing specialist at the facility I’m currently living in, finally sent in my CityFHEPS paperwork on 10/20/25. The latest lease I had signed was for 11/01/25–a one year lease. So hopefully we should be moving to the apartment anytime now.
The process typically takes 2-4 weeks but you know I’ve been manning the HRA app daily looking to see if any payment was made to the landlord. That is the telltale sign that it’s time to go. There should also be some money coming my way for furniture purchases, so you know I’m waiting on that.😂 Not exactly sure how much that’s going to be but for targeted individuals, always expect some theft.🤷♀️😂Moving is the main issue though, so I can’t get caught up with the side issues.
On Thursday 10/30/25, I took a rare day off to go take care of some important stuff in Brooklyn. Turned out to be an excellent gamble because it turned out to be a super stormy day. I was glad I took the day off. I also decided to call HRA to inquire about the status of my CityFHEPS processing—if money had been sent to the landlord. I had all the time, so I didn’t mind being on hold for 2+ hours. Finally someone answered the phone.
She told me my rent payment hadn’t been processed yet, but that she had left instructions for them to do it. She said it should be done in about two weeks. She gave me a reference number to call back with in case it is not done by 11/13/25.
Who are we kidding here, you know damn well I’m not waiting until 11/13 to call. I’ll be on HRA’s a$$ on Monday 11/03 on my next day off, and on my next day off.😂 That’s the only way we get out.🤷♀️
As you may have read from the earlier post, even though I signed an apartment lease way back on 08/26/25, my CityFHEPS paperwork was never submitted for processing—yeah, very shady. The lease I signed on 08/26 was for 09/01/25 move-in date.
After weeks of back and forth with the housing specialist as to why she never submitted my paperwork, she said it was my fault, yeah you read that right, MY fault because I never gave her my weekly pay stubs from 08/26/25 onwards so she could do “rebudgeting”.
So right around 09/15, I gave her the paystubs, and the rebudgeting has since been done. I even signed a new lease for 11/01/25. And yeah, this time I’ve been giving them my weekly pay stubs on time, so they don’t make up an excuse at the end.🙄
So check this out, last week on my day off (Wednesday 10/08), I had a meeting with the housing specialist and her boss. According to them, everything was ready for my CityFHEPS submission EXCEPT some “landlord packet” which they had sent to the apartment forks, and were waiting on them to fill it out and send back. After that, my CityFHEPS paperwork would be submitted.
So Friday 10/10 while at work, I get an email from the apartment folks saying the filled out landlord packet had been sent to the housing specialist that morning. So I’m thinking FINALLY my CityFHEPS paperwork is being submitted, right? WRONG. The housing specialist sends an email two hours later saying there is “some problem” with the paperwork from the apartment folk(the landlord). Long story short, she did NOT submit my CityFHEPS paperwork due to this “problem”🙄🤦♀️
So now again we’re back to the same cat and mouse games we’ve had since September 2024. You really can’t make this stuff up. There’s no telling when the landlord will “fix” whatever “problem” that is. I’m just left here hanging again, a helpless victim to the new mkultra. SAD. I wonder if they’ll cook up another excuse to blame it on me AGAIN.🙄 I would not be surprised, though😂
So check this out, I got to work and decided to call the apartment folks to see what was holding up the process for submitting my CityFHEPS paperwork—I usually email. Luckily I got the very person who is supposed to send the documents to my housing specialist. Now, check this out. I told her my housing specialist has not submitted my CityFHEPS paperwork because she needs some correction made to the landlord paperwork—this was from last Friday. The apartment lady told me she had ALREADY sent the required paperwork. Yeah, you read that right, she had already sent the required paperwork so there was NO REASON why my CityFHEPS paperwork has not been submitted.😳
See what I’ve been telling you all along? It’s all one big game here, and a targeted individual is caught up in the middle. SAD. All part of the new MKULTRA program.🤔
Here’s another thing you have to remember. For every month, there’s a cutoff date for submitting CityFHEPS paperwork—usually the 20th of every month. For me for example, because I signed my lease in October, for a November 1 move-in, my paperwork has to be submitted by 10/20/25, otherwise I have to wait another extra month in the shelter. We are already on 10/14/25 and I can guarantee you that’s EXACTLY what’s happening here. Play these delaying games past the submission schedule (likely 10/20) to keep me here longer—extend the torture program. Remember the original lease I signed was on 08/26/25. SAME game until today. It’s NOT a coincidence🤔
But I’m off Wednesday 10/15/25, and believe me, we’re going to get to the bottom of this. Stay tuned.😂
But here’s the kicker. It’s actually a federal CRIME to conspire to violate somebody’s constitutional rights, especially like here, where you just play games with somebody’s life to deliberately cause them emotional stress/trauma. But they are ALLOWED to do that to TIs. It’s true what you hear from most TIs that government crooks are ALLOWED to commit CRIMES on them without facing prosecution. It’s how the super criminal TI program works.🤔
Tuesday 10/02/25 was my work day, but it also happened to be my birthday 🎂 🎉. In my younger days you would not see me going to work on my birthday. I’d probably be drunk at 8 am. Yeah, I used to go hard back in the day.😂But anyway, back to the topic at hand.
On my Wednesday off (10/01/25), I had repeatedly called HRA to see if I could get a live person to talk to about my CityFHEPS voucher status. They have this so-called “DSS One” number that you can call for issues related to EBT, cash assistance and NYC programs. The number is 718-557-1399. Whether you’ll get in touch with a live person when you call this number is a whole new debate altogether.😂On Wednesday, I was kept on hold for 4+ hours, which I could afford because it was my day off, but I finally gave up and opted for the callback option, where you ask HRA to call you back when your turn comes. It saves you from staying on hold forever.
Nobody called me back on Wednesday, even though I had literally manned my two phones—yes, two phones—waiting for them to call back.🙄 Do better, HRA.
Anyway, so Thursday 10/02/25, on my way to work. I don’t know if it was some birthday good luck thing, but the unthinkable happened. My phone rang, and when I looked to see who was calling, it was the HRA number on my caller ID. So I answered the call swiftly—something I almost never do, I’m a “leave a voicemail” type of dude😂—and the lady on the other side identified herself as someone from DSS.
So I’m thinking Hallelujah, right? ALL my questions about the status of my voucher will be answered today, right? WRONG. As I started laying out my case to the DSS lady, I noticed she was not responding to my questions. Then I heard her say, “I’m having trouble hearing you.” That’s when it hit me that I was on the subway, and therefore I couldn’t complete the call—reception issues.🙄
Think about that, the miracle chance HRA returned one my million calls, was while I was riding the subway.🙄Was that a coincidence? Hmm, we report, you decide🤷♀️
***Updated Friday 10/03/25***
So Friday 10/03/25, I figured I’d do a “Hail Mary” and call HRA after I got off work—they close at 5pm. I called at about 3:30 pm and as usual, was treated to a super long time on hold—more than two and a half hours🤦♀️
So I decided to stay on the line past 5 pm just to see if it would be different after hours.
An encouraging message popped up around 5:40 pm saying I had a wait time of about 11-20 minutes. Yay, right? WRONG. 11-20 minutes turned into 40+ minutes and then another message popped up saying “I’m sorry, we’re having problems with this call. Call back later.” The call was cut short.🙄
Think about that. HRA kept a TI for more than two and a half hours on hold, then as soon as he gets to the front of the line, they kick a TI to the curb. Boy, that’s cold😂🥶.
Somebody has to step in and fix this HRA mess😂🤷♀️The same question again—is that a coincidence? Hmm, we report, you decide🤷♀️
So Monday 09/25/25 was my day off, meaning yet another day to go bitchin’ about my voucher situation with the housing specialist.😂
I took advantage of the fact that the kids had gone to school—enjoyed the morning quiet—and then left at about 2pm after I had gotten my rest. Messing with the housing folk early in the morning would ruin my day off😂🤔
So at about 2pm, I stopped by the housing specialist’s office and asked where we stand. She told me we had to go talk about it in the “conference room”.😳 I didn’t quite know what to make of that but hey, it was what it was🤷♀️
So I got there and took my seat on the oval conference table and her boss showed up. Relax, it was actually a good meeting. Here’s what her boss explained to me.
She basically pinned the blame on me.😂 I need a boss who would back me up like that. She basically said that I was to blame because after signing the lease on 08/26/25, the reason my CityFHEPS paperwork was not submitted to HRA was because I did not provide them with my weekly paystubs—that I FAILED TO COMPLY.😳 Boy, you’ve got to give Deep State credit, coz that was a slick one. I’m pretty sure that’s NOT the real reason—and I told her that—but you can see how that quickly becomes a legal toss up—reasonable people can reasonably disagree as to who bears the blame, me or the housing specialist—Deep State did its homework.😂🤷♀️
Anyway, as things currently stand, they had to do a “rebudgeting” last week using my last paystub, and after HRA modifies the voucher—any day now—my CityFHEPS paperwork will be submitted—hopefully sometime this week or next week. They also told me that the apartment folk are aware of the situation, which is a good thing👍
Naturally, I was concerned about how long this “rebudgeting” process might drag along but they assured me that it shouldn’t be that long because “management is fully engaged”.😳 All that ultra bitchin’ I did last week must have landed on some HRA Head Honcho’s ears.😂
But anyway, now we’re just waiting on this “rebudgeting” deal and then hopefully on to the apartment some time in October, which is my birth month for crying out loud🙏🙏And needless to say, I’m NOT giving them the “he didn’t submit the paystubs” excuse this time. As soon as it hits ADP, it is emailed to them.😂 Oh, and you guessed right, the full blown bitchin’ continues. Anybody at HRA who comes across my paperwork will be like, “Oh hell, that’s the dude…”😂
****************************************** Luckily I got off work super early on this day—around 3pm. I have class at 6pm, but the way things are going nowadays, I’m hanging in school by a thread😂 Either I will struggle just for a week pass(C grade) or something, or just withdraw and re-attempt the classes in the Spring semester.
Long story short, I thought it would be better to stop by HRA HQ on 109 E 16th street in Manhattan after work knowing I may have to forfeit class. I’m also off tomorrow (Wednesday), so if I get shuffled around today (most likely outcome😂), I will know exactly where to go tomorrow.🤔
So I get to 109 E 16th street and get sent to the 2nd floor. A boatload of people there—not good😂. I stay there for a while and then get transferred to the 3rd floor. After staying there for a little bit, I get sent to the 10th floor. At that time I already know what time it is— NOTHING is coming out of this trip😂. I just decided to stick it out anyway.
At about 5:40pm, my ticket gets called. So I explained to the lady that I already signed a lease and I was just trying to see if I can get a status on my case because this is the HRA HQ—makes sense right? WRONG. I was honest with her and told her about the “rebudgeting” business. She told me they had no access to that info and that ONLY the shelter people can give me status updates. She said they only deal with renewals. How the hell is the HRA HQ out of the loop re CityFHEPS when they supposedly run the whole show?🤷♀️😂 That just doesn’t sound right. One of the ladies who went before me also asked the same question.
Anyway, apparently ONLY the shelter folks can provide status updates re CityFHEPS. That’s the word on the street, per HRA HQ🤷♀️What could possibly go WRONG with such an arrangement? Legal eagles you know what term comes to mind—“Monell”🤔
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😳
