  1. I need rental assistance desperately while searching for employment while still being disabled. My state EDD funding for disability has ended and I don’t want to loose the room I’ve lived in for four years. I cannot aford to go on SSI or SSDI as it pays half of a full time minimum wage job! I have an immaculate record with the law and am a 63 yr old senior honorably discharged U. S. Army veteran with no dependents and who needs consideration and a break! Please help me! James Cosper
