Please, I'm begging you, please call Habitat for Humanity. Don't make assumptions based on what you think you know about the program or have heard, just fucking call.

Worst case scenario: You spend an hour at the initial meeting and discover it won't work for you. The other scenario: You end up owning a brand new home (or one refurbished to brand new) at cost.

Because my es-wife picked up the phone, I now own my own home at $600/mo., 19-year mortgage. Took us right at a year to complete the program and have keys in hand.

Be glad to answer questions, but there are variations according to the local outfit's way of doing things.

I’ve thought about begging a similar outfit for that kind of help - I just got my first apartment on my own six or so months ago, and I’ve always been on the edge/dependent on others for help.

Do they ever help single people? I’d do anything just to have my name on a place. I’ve slept in a car before and I never want to be in that position again.

Perhaps you and a friend could pretend to be a couple? Doesn't matter their gender or sexuality.

Oh uh hey, andros_rex, wanna go out? We can take a nice, romantic drive to a Habitat for Humanity's interview.

She correct i worked making 6 bucks an hour in early 2001 and had my own apartment. Was 300 a month. Today fucking 1,000 for the same place. Bullshit not even close to what it should be.
