I was tested positive for covid-19 on June 21st 2020 and I'm on welfare CalWORKs in a $1,295 apartment monthly paid. Due to coronavirus I am not receiving stimulus checks or the support that I'm supposed to be receiving. I'm pregnant, and being pressured by landlord for late payments, unable to take care of any bills due to Riverside Human Services keeping me on isolation for covid-19 in my lungs.
I'm reaching out to many locations and people and still not receiving the services I need. How come I am denied social security? I don't understand why a single mother has to stress and be pregnant worrying about if I'm going to be evicted or how I'm going to provide for my children. I'm in a crisis I'm losing my home!
I used to live in the city of Oakland, but the rent went up so high, that I now live in Sacramento---and even here, the greed is not only glaringly obvious but palatable as well!! I'm paying 1095/month for my 900 sq ft apartment, and it WILL go up in February to an amount that is almost out of reach for a Senior!!! Most of my Social Security goes to my rent, and I have VERY little to live on.
This is a seriously ridiculous and greedy situation, as most of the owners of these properties DO NOT LIVE IN THE US; and if they do, they have VERY LITTLE emotion to the plight of those who are trying to live within their means! It is about time for the California Government to come in with legislation which will make it easier on those of us who live on a fixed income; and those who are of even MORE limited income as well.
