    My wife and I are currently in a couple’s shelter, we have had our CityFHEPS voucher since April 2019… We have been searching for an apartment but the price for a studio or 1bedroom apartments are $1,450 or more and our voucher is for$1,324 so how is anyone able to find or get lucky enough to get an apartment that includes all utilities…. If the program doesn’t give us enough money but pays a shelter nearly $10,000 but can’t raise the voucher so more people can find a place to live….!!!

      I absolutely agree the city officials know this and aren’t doing anything the people that own the shelters are making money off of our situation and the mayor isn’t doing anything about it

    I have city fheps and im trying to move cause of the heating conditions in my household. However its so hard to find somewhere for me and my two daughters to live. With the amount i get we can only get an efficiency it seems like. I appreciate the help and im very greatful not to be on the streets but this rent is way to high.
