    I met a guy while working in the NYC financial district who proudly told me he lived in public housing. He explained the fact that he had 5 children and a wife to support and he was saving for his children's college tuition plus other goals. There was no shame in his game and made perfectly good sense to me.

    Hey, my love, in reality, it’s okay to do what you have to do until you get to where you need to be. We have all the resources to save for the betterment. We will have such a beautiful home and all that we ever wanted. Patience is a virtue; it can definitely be hard, but it will pay off for sure. We’ve got so many amazing things ahead for us this year e’ve just gotta stick to working together, and all will prevail!

    I am a former apartment manager in Michigan and Florida for Section 8 and low income housing, part of the reason, these units are in great shape is because the property will loose its funding if HUD finds there are violations. Unfortunately another reason its hard for Brown and Black families to get in , the Rental History has to beon point and no criminal history. The greatest thing about these units is what Dontay says, the rent adjustment will help you if you're employment challenged or your a Student. Great Vlog , Dontay❤

If it works god bless if it doesn’t then at least I tried. But I at least wanted to say thank you. Best wishes with your channel and plans. It’s nice to see you prosper 🙏♥️

    Why move if the apartment is nice & it's affordable? I mean you're already paying market value rent like you would in a regular apartment. But at least there you have the security of not being evicted if you lose income. The only reason to move would be if a home was purchased. Keep getting yourself established & stay there!

The complex you're in isn't considered the projects.
