Good Morning, My daughter is homeless, I took her in with her 4 children, one of which is severely Disabled with Rett Syndrome, temporarily, until we could find a place for her. I live in Brick, NJ, we have been contacting any and all the resources we have been given, by Social Services, Section 8, Department of Urban Housing, Realtors, Community Church housing services...etc. Even the State Congressman Andy Kim's office to request help or at least give us direction as to where we can get help finding a home for her. We've had no luck finding a place, all responses are the same, all waiting lists for housing are closed, no one is even taking names to be put on a list. Now my HOA, which is an Over 55 community, demanded that she leaves immediately, this was last Thursday. I knew I was breaking the rules, but did not realize how long it would take to find a home for my daughter. I understand their position, but we need more time to find anything for her to move to. I don't want to fight the HOA, but I would like to request them to give us a little more time. My question...is there anything that can be done Legally to request this, and if so can you help? And of course, can you help with finding housing for her? I don't want to break laws, but I also can't put my daughter out on the street.

Important Information

Legal Aid Funding
Legal aid professionals and organizations oftentimes receive government funding for taking on cases with those who cannot afford attorneys. For the most part, funding is limited so legal aid entities can only take on a limited amount of cases. Qualifications are often rigid.
