  • Income Tax Season 2026–An Important Milestone

    For those of you who have not kept up with the saga, I arrived in NYC from Houston Texas in early January 2024 and surprise surprise, ended up in a single men shelter in Brooklyn. My kids joined me in the Summer of 2024, so I was transferred to a family shelter in Queens. 

    In late September 2024 a housing voucher was requested for me, which was supposed to get me housing right around December 2024, but as we now know, stretched out all the way to November 2025. 🙄Yeah, that was so ridiculous, I had to file a lawsuit in federal court about it—details of that later.

    Anyway, sometime in November, I secured a two bedroom apartment in Jamaica Queens—a very nice apartment building—zero complaints so far. So me and my family ended 2025 at our new spot and ushered in the new year there

    On 02/01/26 I filed my 2025 federal income taxes and to my pleasant surprise, I’m looking at quite a “healthy” refund—I’m talking COVID era good tax refund—5 figure amount 😳which should be hitting the bank very soon, probably even before March.

    Why is that important? It marks an important milestone for me and my family because in many ways this is my official arrival in NYC, now that we have a permanent residence. The healthy tax refund also gives me a lot of flexibility in terms of where I want to work next. I could even take a month off and look for something more suitable and hopefully paying MORE🤔. I already have a security guard license on the way which should give me more flexibility. Simply put 2026 already looks like it’s going to be a very good year.

    However however however, that would be the case for a “normal” person—an opportunity to kick back and relax. For a targeted individual, it’s the complete opposite because history has shown me that THAT’s when the crooks crank up their operation to STEAL the financial cushion. They ALWAYS want you living paycheck to paycheck🤔

    So while I’m super excited about the 5-figure tax refund headed my way, I also know that I will really have to crank it up in terms of job earnings. I know enough to expect A LOT of manufactured drama, all aimed at depleting my stash😂🤦‍♀️

    As a matter of fact, the post right before this—“Stuck In A Deli”—where I was talking about being unable to use my debit card at the deli or even withdraw from an ATM, guess what bank account my income tax refund is scheduled to be deposited into? That SAME account. 🙄I’ve used it with zero problems throughout 2025 but now as IRS is getting ready to make a deposit, we have “problems”. Even more troubling, the SAME thing with the SAME bank account happened in early February 2025, RIGHT AFTER I filed my 2024 taxes. I remember they put me through some “verification process” that lasted several days. 🙄 Can’t make this stuff up, folks

    So like I said, expect A LOT of drama in 2026. I’ll be sure keep you posted so you know how the game goes—how they keep TIs poor.

  • Post Housing Voucher Drama 111425 Edition

    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.

  • Wednesday 110525 Shocker—CityFHEPs Approved

    Wednesday on my day off, went to Brooklyn early in the morning (left at 7am) to go take care of some business—something that will come in handy if and when we finally move into the new apartment.

    I got back home at about 12pm, so I decided to get some quiet rest before the kids came back from school. It was my intention to call HRA and harass them as to why CityFHEPS application had not been processed yet, but I was kinda tired after that commute to Brooklyn, so I decided to take a nap instead. It was supposed to a one-hour power nap, but I ended up waking up at 3 pm—my old a$$😂

    I left at about 4pm to go get some fresh air and call HRA while I was out there. I even thought about visiting the local HRA office to ask about CityFHEPS. For some reason, however, something held me back on this Wednesday. I ended up not calling or visiting the local HRA office.

    I got back home at about 8:30 pm and when I checked my HRA app, BAM, there it was. A notice that my CityFHEPS application had been approved, and on the notice letter, a breakdown of how things are going to play out.😳Basically the city will pay my November rent, and I start to pay my portion of the rent on 12/01—basically a done deal, or so I think.

    So God-willing we should be in the apartment before 12/01. There is some $$ for furniture that I’m supposed to get before my move but I’m not sure when that will come in. It typically comes BEFORE somebody moves out, but remember, you’re dealing with a targeted individual here so HRA may “forger” to send the furniture money, or send it in July 2026.🙄😂

    Anyway, we’ll see how things play out but at the moment, it looks like moving to the apartment is imminent—highly likely before December. 🙏🙏

    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.🤷‍♀️

  • Post Housing Voucher Drama 101725 Edition

    As you may have noticed from my previous post, I decided to visit the apartment leasing office on my day off (10/15/25) to try to get to the bottom of what exactly was causing delay in the submission of some landlord paperwork that was holding up submission of my CityFHEPS paperwork to the city. 

    The CityFHEPS paperwork has to be submitted by 10/20/25 for me to have any chance of moving out on 11/01/25, which is my plan. Their plan, as I stated on the previous post is to unnecessarily push issues past 10/20 so I get stuck longer in the shelter—all part of the new MKULTRA I’m trying to get you to understand. I’ve been a targeted individual since at least 2017, probably even earlier, so I know EXACTLY how these tactics work, and I’ll give you a breakdown below, so that you get it.

    I arrived at this shelter in June 2024, and was eligible for CityFHEPS by September 2024–I’ve talked about this in detail in previous posts. I should have been out of the shelter and into a CityFHEPS apartment sometime in October 2024, and certainly no later than December 2024. The ONLY reason I’m still in the shelter is because of the new MKULTRA program. Never forget that.🤔That’s number one.

    Number two is, I originally signed a lease for this apartment on 08/26/25. The ONLY reason I’m not in that apartment today is also the new MKULTRA program.🤔 That’s number two.

    Now to the final point. The ONLY reason my current CityFHEPS paperwork has not been submitted even though we are approaching the 10/20/25 cut off date is also because of the new MKULTRA program. You get it, now?😂 There is NO issue or complication holding up the process—that’s all fake brinksmanship designed to unnecessarily stress the target.🤔 I can guarantee you my CityFHEPS paperwork was ready for submission probably last week. All this is a dog and pony show.

    I can even break down exactly how things will play out, just so you know, I have some learned experience in this targeting business. I went to the leasing office on Wednesday 10/15 and notified them that they were holding up the process. That should have been handled Thursday 10/16, and probably was, but but but but stay with me here because this is key—it is not useful for the new MKULTRA program to submit the documents on 10/16.🤔 They know the target is anxiously waiting for it, so they’ll stretch it out to increase the mental trauma. You get it?🤔

    I work today (10/17) but I’m off Saturday, Sunday and Monday. What do people do on weekends? They relax with their families and recharge for the next week. But the new MKULTRA doesn’t allow relaxing for targeted individuals. They are supposed to be stressed out 24/7–I kid you not😂 So what does that mean. The landlord document—which has been ready for probably a week now—will NOT be submitted until Monday. They’d rather gang it over the TIs head during the weekend and on his off day on Monday so that they rob him of the peace and quiet and rest he needs. You get it? That’s how the criminal program operates.

    Then on Monday, after stressing the TI all weekend, the document magically appears, or sometimes even NOT appear on Monday if they make the decision that they didn’t stress you enough. The main point is the is NO ISSUE causing the delay. It’s all made up. When the time comes for them to submit the document, the damage—mental trauma/soft blow—is already done. Watch and learn from the master🤔

    ***And just like that, as previously adverstized, it’s Friday at 4:00 pm and still, no word on the needed document.🙄 Are you surprised, coz I’m not? I even shot them an email at about 12 pm just to make sure we don’t have one of those “Oh, I’m sorry we forgot to look into it.” I got a response back from my email saying they’re working on the documents.

    Remember, folks, on Wednesday 10/15/25 when I visited the leasing office, submisssion was imminent. I was supposedly #3 on the digital signature queue. That means whatever needed to be done could have been done Thursday 10/16 or today Friday 10/17—and was probably done.

    But but but…the program has to go on. Get it now? Hang it on a TI’s head over the weekend and his day off on Monday. Steal his peace and quiet.🤔 Never forget that.

    Oh and btw, it’s not just about housing, there’s another new MKULTRA story but this time, dealing with college—NY state financial aid. I will start wringing more about that soon. Same modus operandi. TIs face multi-pronged attacks.

  • Post Housing Voucher Drama 101525 Edition

    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🤔

  • Post Housing Voucher Drama 101424 Edition

    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.🤔

  • Post Housing Voucher Drama 100725 Edition

    Monday was my day off so you guessed it, major drama on a targeted individual’s (TI’s) day off to rattle him, you know how the game goes😂

    Anyway, Monday at around 2pm as I was getting ready to go out and enjoy my day off, I was handed several letters by the security lady downstairs. They were from HRA and looked important, so I went back upstairs to take a look at them

    Remember, the entire housing voucher deal depends on an active cash/public assistance case. If your cash/public assistance is discontinued for any reason then you are out of there for housing purposes. 

    Luckily for me, my cash/public assistance (PA/CA) were still active per the letters BUT BUT BUT—you knew there was a BUT😂—they changed my monthly amount from $189 to….take a wild guess…yeah, a big fat $0. Lord have mercy😂🤦‍♀️

    Apparently, you can have an active PA case even if you’re getting $0, so at least we survived that hurdle. As for SNAP benefits, I also got a massive slashing—from $756 to $416.🤦‍♀️ You know damn well that is NOT enough for two teenagers🙄. I challenged the SNAP, but I let them slide on the PA cut because that might complicate the CityFHEPS process.

    Here’s the silver lining though. Although the cuts to PA and SNAP were a downer (obviously), the “good” news about it is that it kind of verified the housing specialist’s claim that she had requested a rebudgeting as part of my CityFHEPS. It kinda makes sense that the adjustments to my PA & SNAP came as a result of that rebudgeting, which is a good thing

    As a matter of fact I sent an email to the housing specialist after receiving the letters from HRA and she emailed back saying we now need the documents from the landlord—new lease, etc. She didn’t answer my question directly, but it appears from her message that the next step now is to submit the documents from the landlord so rent payment can be approved etc. That was some good news. 

    Neeeds to say, I also ran this through my new best friend ChatGeep, and here’s what I got back

    How long it will take for the landlord documents to be sent is a different question altogether😂🤦‍♀️

    **Also, very interesting re HRA, the letters they sent me re PA & SNAP adjustments were mailed dated 09/27/25 & 09/30/25. I didn’t receive them until 10/06–ONE DAY before the deadline to challenge their decision😳. I found that very odd. Also the notice was NOT viewable on the HRA app🙄. The app clearly shows that there’s a new notice, but it would not let me view it🙄. You have to admit, that’s kinda super odd🤷‍♀️😂**

    Anyway, I’m now waiting on the new phase—new lease signing and its submission for processing. Stay tuned.

    To keep it 💯with you, this is how I really feel about this housing process. I’ll do what I need to do, but at this point, I’m beginning to entertain “plan B”🤷‍♀️

  • Post Housing Voucher Drama 100225 Edition

    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🤷‍♀️

  • Post Housing Voucher Drama 093025 Edition

    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”🤔
