How many are working poor POC making 20-40k and are being ignored for affordable housing and being pushed aside by migrants and government dependents because they are working Americans? I know two city workers who sleep in their car or sleep at Hostels because they are afraid of going in the shelter system because their jobs go past curfew, it's dangerous and people get treated like subhumans.

Can you imagine not being able to qualify for Medicare or public housing because you make too much, but make too little because of the high cost of housing in NYC.

*Update

She kicked him out his 14th time while their daughter was upstairs by herself, his daughter is 11 and disabled, he called the cops being he pays rent and her car payment and was surprised that cops forced him back inside and took a report and offered for him to go to a battered spouse shelter, he is gathering him and his daughter's belongings to go to Safehorizons. don't know if he pressed charges because she is still there, but cops told him to start packing up and they will help him with the rest.

​

She constantly uses the excuse of her bipolar disorder and gaslights him into thinking its his fault when all he does is provide for her. He needs to ask permission to go outside, if not she kicks him out and he sleeps in the car.

​

Thank you for the advice!
