Stress Center Peer Support

Well, here I am again--asking for prayer for a home. I have been renting beyond my means (I guess anything that's unsubsidized is beyond my means at this point).

It would be great to have a relatively safe, stable place to live. A lot of things have been going well in my life--and I would love a healthy home to be another great component. (Otherwise, It's so hard to move forward.)

After speaking with a social worker this week--we came up with three scenarios
1.) try to work out something with my parents to live in their 2 unit home--i would like to believe that this could work--but there has been ugly history there--so i am very conflicted about this
2.) try to partner with a psychosocial club and enter into a housing component with the club or 3.)enter the shelter system (and exaggerate my domestic violence history--which i don't feel comfortable with--yes, i have a history as a victim. . . but i don't want to exaggerate it).

Your prayer, feedback and advice is welcome! Thanks.

I will say a long prayer for you that you find a safe and comfortable place that you can call home.
