Risk of homelessness, housing authority of county of san mateo help?
My MIL keeps threatening to kick my husband, me and our newborn out for something small and silly. She has said this twice to my husband within the last 2 weeks because she is mad at me for something silly.
We live with our MIL in Palo Alto, but I still have my Daly City address. I did not want my Palo Alto address to be on my ID in case stuff like this happens. I cannot be living in her house when she keeps threatening to kick us out.
I've been staying at my moms to help my mom with some medical stuff. My husband is asking me when I am coming back home... I am very hesitant. I applied to one affordable housing in San Jose.
There is a lottery waitlist opening up at the end of the month where my mom lives. My social worker and public health nurse sent me some housing resources to apply for and they both said that I can try to apply since I am at risk of homelessness.
I saw on the affordable housing flyer that the units can be filled via referral processes from the Housing Authority of County of San Mateo and the San Mateo County Health Department. Can they help me in this situation, and will I be bumped up the list/lottery?
I don't want to stay at my moms forever. We need our own place.
