I would try Florida as there are many very nice senior mobile home communities, which are cheaper if they are inland. Florida has no State income tax either so is a bit cheaper I think to live there.
I could never take the heat in FL, but no state income tax sounds good.I would try Florida as there are many very nice senior mobile home communities, which are cheaper if they are inland. Florida has no State income tax either so is a bit cheaper I think to live there.
I only lasted one year in Florida (North Palm Beach), I hated the bugs and humidity and hurricanes. Usually, states with low something have a high something. Either the income tax or the sales tax or the property tax. They have to get your money one way or another to finance their government.I could never take the heat in FL, but no state income tax sounds good.

I sort of wished I'd tried this earlier, but my pride is still leading me around, or, keeping me from letting people here know so much about me. I'm just not proud of my situation, and never will be. So without going into all about why I am a low-income senior, I would just like help in finding a place to move.
I now live in what they call Project 202 for Seniors over 62. I pay 1/3 of my income and that includes most utilities, usually, but not with all 202 housing I found out. I would like to find either 202 housing, or another they have called 515 Rural housing for Seniors. 55 and older is fine with me, and I've considered the Section 8, so I did apply for a voucher which I don't have yet.
The best site I have found to locate housing like the above, is here: https://affordablehousingonline.com/ It covers the U.S.
I would like to hear from folks that might have low-income housing, or know of, in their area. If anyone has info on places outside of California, I am also open to moving out of this State. My main hope is to find something that has a balcony or patio area for the tenants. And well, actually, good maintenance and landlords.
Most of the places I have found don't have reviews to read, so it's difficult to know what you are getting into.
So, with all that said, I'm just going to post this and hope that maybe someone can help me with suggestions. I do have good credit (very good according to the bank) and excellent rental references.

After 55 , Senior Housing, 100 State StreetThanks @hollydolly I was desperate, well, slight exaggeration, back then. Now I can really choose, take my time to find more the type of area I want to live in. And maybe as time goes by, I may just feel more roots here.
I NEVER thought I'd be living in California if you'd asked me if I would 6 or 7 years ago, but here I am. I am checking out some nice areas (things to do and more population) much further South. I found a good link/site to explain the different "types" of Senior Low-income housing to some folks that may be able to use it. I just don't let up when it comes to utilizing the internet
I think that "gypsy" in my soul is still alive and well. I've always loved going new places, and meeting new people. My dad was like that too, I must have inherited it from him. I didn't know much about him but he spent a lot of time with his other family which I am so glad for him. They were all very close, holidays etc. I think I'd have been glad settling up near them. The one I was closest too, a nephew, died recently and crushed my heart. Now I don't want to go up to visit because I didn't get my ass up there while he was still living
I wonder sometimes why I've always felt I was in the way when with the family I grew up with. Another thread I guess, sorry everyone, to ramble.
