I’m not sure if I’ll be eligible for this because I don’t live in Massachusetts, but I found out this morning that this specific SPCA has a low cost Surgical option for people who get WIC or snap or section 8 or SSI . . . there are other things on this list I don’t remember.

It’s not just for neutering either. Look at this list of services they can provide:

Spay for Pyometra or Dystocia
Amputation (Tail, Digit, Limb)
Wounds and lacerations
Enucleation
Cystotomy (Bladder Stone Removal)
Mass Removal when quality of life is impacted (e.g.. ulcerated mammary mass)
Nasopharyngeal/Oral Polyp Removal

I hope they can help me with my son’s teeth. I refuse to believe that Dental work on a cat should cost $1500-$1900 like my Vet quoted me. I do not accept.

(Am I abusing hashtags?? I just want people who would follow those hashtags to get this information even though it’s not about those programs. AITA?)

This would be nice but it won't pass on a #Republican controlled Congress. #UniversalHousingVouchers

#Section8 overhaul: Proposed bill aims to expand housing vouchers
https://www.fingerlakes1.com/2025/05/07/section-8-housing-voucher-reform-2025/

Trump wants to kill most Section 8 rental assistance and replace it with “state-run” programs—over $26 billion in support gone for millions of poor Americans. Proposed two-year cap for “able-bodied adults” means even working people will be homeless. #HUD #Section8 https://www.npr.org/2025/05/02/nx-s1-5374077/trump-budget-housing-rental-aid-hud-homelessness-funding

TRUMP PROPOSES TO GUT #HUD #Housing assistance. #PublicHousing & #Section8 to be transferred to states &cut by $33.6 billion. Millions will lose housing and made homeless. #HandsOffHousing

#Project2025’s #RussVought, #Trump’s director of the Office of Management & Budget [#OMB], previously endorsed an end to the federal #voucher program. He [falsely] wrote in 2022 that the #Section8 program in particular “brings with it crime, decreased property values, & results in dependency & subsidized irresponsibility.”

…the expected overhaul would most likely amount to more than just a technical change, resulting in fewer federal dollars for #LowIncome #families on top of additional cuts planned for the rest of the Dept of #Housing & Urban Development [#HUD]. On Thurs, the #Trump admin took the first steps toward potentially selling the agency’s HQ in Washington.

Admin ofcls recently discussed cutting or canceling out the #vouchers & other #RentalAssistance programs & potentially replacing them with a more *limited* system of #housing grants, perhaps sent to states, acc/to 3 people familiar with the matter…. The overhaul would be included in #Trump’s new #budget, which is expected to be sent to #Congress in the coming weeks.

#law #LowIncome #families #Section8 #aporophobia #classism #caste #EconomicDiscrimination

The potential changes primarily concern federal #housing #vouchers, including those more commonly known as #Section8. The aid generally helps the poorest tenants cover the monthly costs of apartments, town homes & single-family residences.

We should start funneling the homeless towards #Republican areas tbh

Maine #housingauthorities can’t access funds after Donald #Trump freezes #grants
#Section8
The memo announcing the freeze from Trump’s acting director of the Office of Management and Budget said it would be effective at 5 p.m. Tuesday, but the executive directors of both Portland and Bangor’s housing authorities said they were already unable to access federal funds by early Tuesday afternoon. The director of #MaineHousing, the state housing authority, said that all public #housingauthorities in Maine were facing the same issue.

Housing #Section8 voucher program, which thousands in #CentralOregon apply for, faces uncertain future
Process uses a crappy lottery system instead of wait-list. WOW THATS REALLY BAD

I was briefly excited about receiving this letter because recertification is a lot of work for me, mainly because I submit all my medical expenses because there are so many.

But I don’t think this is actually good for people like me. Maybe I’m misunderstanding this but it just asks us to report changes to family composition income and assets but not medical expenses. So if mine spike up next year I’m stuck at the 2024 level until 2027?

I don’t know, maybe this is good and I should be happy about it. I guess I’ll wait and see.

@grrlscientist I’m pretty sure the woman who wrote this guide is here somewhere but I found this on Reddit this morning and it looks like a amazing resource for finding subsidized housing and getting on section 8 waitlist even if the one in your area is closed.

#housing #section8 #disability

I assume the section 8 waitlist for the Boston area is closed because it’s too long, but if you can find one in Massachusetts that’s open you don’t actually have to live in Massachusetts to apply for section 8 in Massachusetts. Or at least you didn’t have to a decade ago.

But look at these income limits. Back when I had a career my mom used to tell me I should get on the section 8 waitlist just in case and I would scoff at her and tell her that I never qualify for anything, I’m pretty sure I would have qualified even when I had my career and when I became disabled I regretted not taking her advice because it was a really long wait.
