Headin' to a shelter
Hello
I am sorry you will be going to a shelter. I think your pastor is right as they will have more resources for you. Look the ones over that you are choosiing to be at.
I am sorry as I have given you all that I know and here is something else but you will be on a waiting list for public housing.
