Met with temporary relocation specialist. The new owners have received a 19, close to 20 million dollar grant to upgrade the property. Work on our building is going to begin on the 19th of September and we won't be able to get back in until late on the 27th, providing all goes well which with construction work you just never know.
Since my unit hasn't had any serious repairs/upgrades in the 10+ years I've been here it's getting a major overhaul. Not all units are so I'm pretty happy about mine being one of those selected. However my sons, concerned about the area want me to move away from here and closer to them where things are safer. Which makes sense.
My lease is up in October, so I'm looking, so far no luck finding a place accepting vouchers but I have managed to get on one wait list and have a bunch of others to call on and maybe some to take a look at next week. Also J is going to speak to someone she knows who has two rentals and see if either are available or will be shortly.
I spent a lot of time apartment hunting and packing today because wether I wind up staying here or moving elsewhere I still have to have things ready for the movers so they can haul it off to storage in order to be able to do the work. All sorts of people are moving, even if it means breaking leases, things are a mess here and likely will be for awhile.
