RENT ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH COMPARE TO SOCIAL SECURITY/DISABILITY PAYMENTS. MEDICARE TAKES A HUGE CHUNK OF THE MONEY AND PAYS ONLY 80%. MEDICAID DOES NOT PAY THE REMAINING 20% BASED ON INCOME GROSS. INSURANCE SUPPLEMENTS ARE TO HIGH AND LEAVES NO INCOME TO PAY FOR RENT. HUD ONLY CONSIDERS MEDICINE INTAKE IN SUPPLEMENTAL RENT OR SECTION 8 AND NOT ALL OTHER OUTSIDE EXPENSES THAT SUBTRACTS FROM THE PAYMENT OF RENT. DON'T FORGET UTILITIES. SOME BALANCE IS NEEDED AND SHOULD BE BASED ON NET, NOT GROSS.
