I was told when discharged fro hospital with heart and lung meds that they have a place to recoup. I am a 66 yr.old female. With multiple joint problems and cant drag suit cases around all day. Can you help me?

There is no housing I was homeless for 11/2 yrs told by everyone they could help with housing including hoc and snap and many others. I am paralyzed from my nipples down and use a manual wheelchair I became homeless after the place I rented for 17 1/2 years burned to the ground that's what brought me to the shelters in spokane. If you can walk it's probably do able . Respite at how is something helpful but as soon as you speak your mind about how its run they can give you 15 minutes to get your stuff and get out. Like they did to me. I let them know that I watched them tell every single person that came in to respite for the 2+ months I was there that they could help them with housing only in the end when their insurance runs out that they need the bed an0. .d they would need to move with all their things to the OTHER part of the shelter. Even though there was never more than half the beds in respite being used

How are you doing ? And I am doing ok! And yes still friends and I went back to indana last year ok

Mary Jane Wilborn you will need to get referred to the Respite program by the hospital. Once you are in the Respite program you will not be required to leave early every morning and you will have a bed, 3 meals, and time to recoup. Talk with the hospital social worker to get the referral started.

Yes house of Charity can help. Also get a hold of S.N.A.P. or Catholic Charities they have housing
