We found an apartment we can afford after 8 years as a teaching assistant

After 9 weeks of searching, we found an apartment we can afford in Baltimore. It has been a long 9 weeks. The kids have their own room again. Thanks for all the tips.

I am so happy for you and your family.

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.
