Hello

[karleesto]

I am 62, some what disabled and recently on SS. Currently located in WV. I have landed in HUD housing, and with my income can't move anywhere. I have thought about van living before, almost made it in 2011, but alas it was not to so. My little SUV that is 23 years old is not up to more than groceries and Dr appts. So I begin by looking for vechicle and watching videos. I look forward to reading the posts in the forum.

Hi Kareesto,

I'm also in HUD housing, but I have dreamed of getting out.  Not because it's a bad place, very nice, but because if I can live independently, I would feel much better doing it on my own.  I have a 94 Mazda B3000 that I am putting all extra money into and it will be ready to atleast camp in for Summer.  Babysteps for me, and I am 68 with a little dog. 

I saw a video somewhere that I could share with you (about a disabled man) if I can find it again, it's been a few years.  I've been dreaming a lot since I hit 62 I did want to let you know, as well, that if you have a Housing Choice Voucher, you can port that out to any apartment you find in the US that accepts HCVs.  There is also Project 202 which is what I live in now, for that last 5.5 years.  There's always a waiting list to get on first.

I am new here too, so welcome, and  am sure you will find lots of help whether here, watching youtube videos, or reading articles Denise
