Housing sorted, thank you all - 2 months and counting

After 15 weeks of searching, we found an apartment we can afford in Fresno. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. A local programme helped with the deposit. If you are searching, keep going.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Thanks for sharing the deposit help tip. I will look into it.
