Hi, first time poster long time lurker.
In short I went back to college and just finished and right now I am looking for work but it's taking it's sweet time. My girlfriends works and is on maternity leave till next year.
Our lil daughter is just starting to roll and around and it puts us in a poistion were we need a slighty bigger place. Ideally somewhere with a second bedroom. We live in a shoebox apartment and all 3 share 1 room and the walls are closing in fast.
I get help from the state in form of rent allowance and am at the max rent bracket of 950 a month. We've been looking for 2 bed house/apartment over southside city (that's were her work is) and we cant find anything at all. 950 a month rent for a family is not enough to get you a bag of cats lets alone a second room for a child.
The rent supplment said to contact treshold regarding appeals and treshold said to contact the rent supplement crowd. I'm going in circles and am totally stumped for my next move. Both seemed to hint at moving to somewhere more expensive and THEN appealing but that seems sorta risky. As if I have to say that I moved somewhere that under current condition we couldnt afford. If that appeals process fails then we have wasted time/deposit and our current home.
If we were to move further a field then the rent max bracket drop at any rate that's not much help either....
In short....jaysus what have we gotten ourselves into!
EDIT: Bad spelling/grammar
