Is there any programs that help a client to move in Gresham?
I rent an apartment and a contractor discovered black mold across the whole back wall about 30 square feet. The conditions are so bad that the support beams are rotted through. My mom and I tried to remove my belongings but we got so physically sick that we had to leave it. My doctor states that I am not to go back in. I'm now homeless and "couch-surfing" but need to move into a new apartment. I work full-time but am low-income. I have an attorney but she said that it would be months and months before I get a settlement and I need to find a place to live ASAP but don't have the money to do so. I can deal without my furniture and stuff but I need a roof over my head.
The landlord tried to give me a 10 day eviction notice, then a 30 day and then 60 (because I kept telling them I wouldn't sign because it's illegal notification). Now they are not taking even responsibility even though I had nothing to do with the mold, they installed air conditioning and didn't do it right.
I found a couple of resources but I live in Gresham and they only handle Portland area.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
