BUT I AM TIRED OF BEING HOMELESS/ AND SICK ON TOP OF IT .
SO HOW I FIND A DECENT PLACE OUT THER TO RENT?? ANY IDEAS?

I wish I had answers / solutions to offer. I've family members and friends in Eastern Montana who are also struggling to find affordable and healthy housing. Sadly, some are not finding it. I'm afraid the answer might be that some folks are going to be forced to relocate to areas where housing is not in such short supply.

That is a shame at many levels, but it does seem to be the way it is at present.

Roselight, there is a severe shortage of section 8 type housing in Miles City. If you are on SSI, you probably qualify. It is based on income. You didn't mention your age. If you are a senior citizen there are some apartments for the elderly that are also based on income. Homelessness, poverty and the disenfranchised in general are a big problem in America and not as visible in smaller communities as in urban areas.

Hold your head high and don't give up. Check with social services and be a squeaky wheel. Don't get lost in the bureaucratic shuffle. If you are not already, get signed up with the food bank. They are good people.

Forty percent of the homeless in America are veterans. American veterans that are victims of politics and greed. I only say this to you because regardless of circumstance, you are in the same boat and no one is baling.

I see it every day in Denver. It makes me sad, disappointed and mad. not at the people living on the street but at the many that have so much and are unwilling to help.

Good luck to you. Don't give up and keep your dignity.

Have you considered a place like Eagle's Manor? It's income based.

I have several rentals and the last vacancy I had was over 2 1/2 years ago. We get calls every day sometimes more than one but there aren't a lot of places available. There are some but to find.
