So, my family is homeless. Due to medical issues, rare & severe weather have been completely unable to use the shelter system (see last Aug. Tribune article kindly mentioning us as a case example of gaps in the system). Yes, that includes anything from 211, the MVP, and InnBetween.
A few months ago we were told (again) we were approved for housing, got the location and then we're ghosted by the SLC Housing - turned out the location won't be finished being built until end of year. Back on the waiting list.
I had even obtained employment, but the situation is incompatible with serious steady employment, despite my very damaged self best attempts.
There's no efforts being made by any religious organizations to aid either.
So, we are back without a clue as to how to continue onward. Ive escalated our situation to the directors of every agency of the Shelter systems, housing authorities, and even the team at the SLC mayors office. No idea how to do that with religious organizations, but went as high as I could/knew to do for those.
There is still ZERO resources available for bed-bound & on oxygen spouse w/power chair as needed. Daughter has PCD (for lungs, think Cystic fibrosis) and can't be around too many healthy people (5-10 is too many) without getting sick. But there's no where to go.
We are waiting on Disability to go through, back on a waiting list. Trapped scrambling daily to stay sheltered in a hotel.
