Hello!My name is Natela and I been struggling for so long finding affordable housing in Fairfax County,Virginia.I am 58 years old female who have a very low income.I contacted more then 500 places trying to find one bedroom apartment or private basement and all this places asking for income 3-3.5 times bigger then cost of apartment.Making any person who is trying to rent one bedroom apartment in Fairfax county need to make around 5-6000 dollars per month.How many percent of people having this high salary jobs?I DON’T. I’m making now 12.00 dollars per hour.This amount of money disqualified me from any housing I applied.My question to HUD and all other housing authorities WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING PEOPLE WITH LOW INCOME??????? WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO SURVIVE LIVING IN FAIRFAX AREA?HOUSING PRICES IS ASTRONOMICAL!GROCERY PRICES IS ASTRONOMICAL! ALL AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS ARE CLOSED.ALL WAITING LISTS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING CLOSED TO. I BET YOU ALL JUST DON’T CARE ABOUT US!

Fighting for a right to pee or poop with dignity (and without the whole world knowing) make people not want to shop, go out in public, or travel. All for fear- Is there going to be somewhere I can go to the bathroom? That is a very real fear, for many. My father hasn’t traveled to visit me in over a year for this very reason. I look at books like “Everybody poops” and I laugh, but I also cry because it has become such an emotional issue for me. Help myself and those that struggle like I do with their bladder and or bowel enjoy the freedoms of being in public again. Help take away some of that fear. Not everyone can tell their local UPS it is their right to pee; it is the law like I did- but that is why you represent us. You can tell these businesses. You can make it right; you have the power to make Virginia a place that stands for the rights of everyone and is a great place for those with disabilities to live. Everybody has a right to use the bathroom with dignity.
