  • 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

  • Stuck On The Subway 062725

    On Friday 062725, headed to work to finish off my work week. I usually work Tuesday, Thursday & Friday every week.

    This week, however, I took up an extra shift on Monday meaning I would have gotten 4 days this week–extra money.

    I get on the subway on Friday and catch the 10:45 am F train headed to Manhattan. Two or three stops into my trip and an announcement comes in saying there’s a “problem” and they “don’t know when it’s going to be fixed”–I kid you not😂.

    So I may actually lose a day of work thanks to MTA shenanigans🙄. Coincidence? We report, you decide

    Remember targeted individuals argue that financial sabotage is a key aspect of the targeting program🤦

    At 11:38am, train moved again—“problem fixed”🙄 I am supposed to be at work at 11:30am🙄

    Next thing you know, “problem” AGAIN. We were transferred to another train🙄

    Long story short, I got to the job site after 12pm which means too late, no work—or mission accomplished😂 Just another day in the financial sabotage drama of a targeted individual🤦‍♀️

    I will say this in closing, though. Stuff like this used to sting so bad in Houston Texas because it would often happen when you had that late car note payment and you NEEDED those extra hours of work. Missing a scheduled day of work would put you into repossession zone—very stressful. Here in NYC—why I love it here—there’s very little, or no effect at all. I knew after 12 pm I wouldn’t be allowed to work but I still went in just so they know, I wasn’t just laying at home goofing off. After that, it’s sightseeing time in Manhattan. Very big

    ***Updated Wednesday 07/16/25***

    So that week, I ended up missing that extra day because of the train “delay”, right? Ended up working 3 days instead of 4.

    The following week, I actually did 4 days(one extra day)—made sure I went to work early and everything. My direct deposit comes on Wednesdays. So Wednesday 07/16/25 I’m expecting a BIGGER deposit than I’ve been getting when I work 3 days, right? WRONG. I actually got LESS money deposited—I kid you not.😳

    Hope that will get it through your thick skull that a KEY part of the targeted individual program is designed to keep the target POOR. If they don’t do it through the train delay shenanigans, they literally STEAL from the TI. Never forget that. It’s not some kind of mistake, clerical error, oversight…nope, straight up THEFT.🤔

    Oh, and also this👇, because they’ll expect the TI to be rattled and chase them down for the money and stuff. Not this seasoned TI. I’ll let them know, but I’m not chasing anybody down, or rattled🤔

    Last, but not least, they also do this stuff to discourage, demoralize the TI from seeking overtime—why am I even doing this when they’ll just steal my money?🤔 We’re too smart/seasoned for that, though.

    ***And then check this out— this may be unrelated, but still “interesting”. Later on the same night, after the “paycheck issue”, (07/16/25), I stopped by the grocery store to buy a few things for the kids. I go there pretty much every day, was even there last night. When it came time to check out, my EBT card was DECLINED.😳 It still has a lot of money on it. Coincidence, or just another “negative blow” on operation day? Hmm🤔 . Just weird that it happened the SAME day my paycheck got shorted.🤔They usually issue temporary EBT cards when your money gets stolen, etc. It could be that my temporary card just expired, earning me another day at the EBT office🤦‍♀️—or another missed work day?🤪 We shall see. Stay tuned***
