Discriminatory Delays

So I mentioned I was homeless....from December/January 2013-14 until May 2015 (this past spring) when I finally found a Youth Hostel to stay at.  I want to write about my experiences on living on the street for a year and a half...but this time I also need talk about the apartment I have been waiting for.

Something has been holding it up since May....and I toured it at the beginning of August and they told me it would be a day to a week to find out when I would be moving in....it was for a special program that helped the homeless get a home....a long, high-ceiling, darkish studio in Lowertown St. Paul....that just needed painting.

I was told I was denied....and when I stuck up for my rights I was told they needed more information.  
I am cutting and pasting the email to my social worker and the accompanying "Resident Selection Criteria"....I need documentation....as much of a snore as it can be sometimes.

Hi Jeff,

Did you actually Talk to Allison?   This is what she sent me at 1:37 yesterday below (forwarded) in reply to my message with the attachments (letter of explanation and the doctor's confirmation of my forced clitorectomy....my reason for needing a safe space in a security building.

I had already given notice to the owner of the Youth Hostel that it could be "any day now" after she said it would take "a day to a week" for the paper work and you assured me that you had me covered....and he is getting antsy...asking me all the time when I am moving.

"Look into other options" ....after 4 months of promises...with a the Hostel manager expecting me to leave any day....and being overburdened for rent....sounds like I am being driven to being homeless for the winter in Minnesota.

I meet all the qualifications in their Information regarding Resident Selection Criteria for section 7 (Which exempts a resident from needing to qualify for the criteria under section 4 regarding Rental and Background History) ....I just need to continue to participate with Social Services in order to qualify for CONTINUING Occupancy at Crane Ordway.  If I rescind my permission to give a release of information to them about my participation with Social Services, then I would have to qualify under Section 4 or my lease could be terminated with a 30 day notice.  If my Social Services provider feels I no longer need services, written proof must be provided.

"This is what I do....get homes for the homeless"---Jeff J.

That's what you told me that first day we met in April.  I am looking at Autumn and no home yet in Minnesota. Again.

You have shown me an apartment...they said a day to a week....you got me...don't worry.

What is holding this up?

Discrimination against my sexual orientation at some level of the process?

We are unable to make final determinations until we see the background check. Your rental history includes police calls to a former address.

I am doing this to document this process...because I feel that this delay is discrimination against my sexual orientation of bi-sexual, and that my family of origin who is in the Government that rules this nation is trying to keep me homeless and/or overburdened with rent for another winter.

They are also racist, and I made some tentative plans with a black, gay friend of mine and her young daughter who has a learning delay and may be on the spectrum....(like my son A., who is 15 and autistic).....to look at apartments.  She needs to move to a better, bigger place and made the offer.

Did I also mention my family hates "idiots"....anyone who is not "perfect" is not "blessed by God" in their eyes.  It should interesting to see if I turn up with anything particularly Noticeable happening in my world that I can prove until I get a new camera....Moving in with K. has all the things that would drive them up the wall....It would tweak their Racism, their Hatred of the Handicapped, and their Homophobia.

I write this here because the last time time I went into a Gay Bar I woke the next morning with the insides of my mouth peeling off in big white layers of skin...like soft onion.   It had happened to me once before, at a club, right before I went onstage to perform comedy, I got a drink of Red Bull that made my mouth burn and dry out.  Ewww....switched to Water.  Next morning...peeling mouth.

It's a Punishment...usually my family does it for telling a lie.  My mother described to me as a child.

They put lye in your mouth. https://freespeechperson.blogspot.com/2016/07/assaults-back-in-minneapolis.html

They must think I am lying about being bi-sexual....but they are crazy if they think they can change a heart's mind. <3

  I will Love and be Home with the One that I CHOOSE to Love.  My children will be Free from the Family's hold on them.   I will $ing, I will $tand-Up.

Thanks Jesus :)
