Alternative Housing

I am sorry I have taken a break from my blog, but I am back now.


I am fortunate enough to live in a house and can take my time looking at other housing
options until I feel like I am making the right decision for me. I have done some more research
on other living arrangements. I have an appointment to talk to the people at the apartment
complex I mentioned before (the one geared towards the disabled) in early April.  In the
meantime, I have checked into a local trailer park and also looked at other apartment buildings.
I have an appointment this Saturday to look at trailers.


The trailer park sounds like it might be a good option as well. It will be smaller than the
house I am in now, which will hopefully mean easier to manage. However, I will still be
responsible for replacing the roof (eventually), mowing the lawn on the lot, which I can get a
friend to do for me, gas, electric cable, everything I do here, just on a smaller scale. At the
apartment, I would only be responsible for rent and, the utilities and cable, but from what I
have learned so far, these two options might balance out.


As you may or may not know, I have a friend/roommate who I live with here at the
house. We are considering continuing to live together after the move. The nice thing about it is
that he is also on disability, so we would both qualify for the apartment building. I will let you
all know how the process is coming.
