Yeah, I've been checking Craigslist. It's lookin' pretty sparse. Looks like I qualify for some low-income housing loans, but the Section 8 housing vouchers for rentals would only bring me to $750-$800 /mo anyway. Plus there's still the dog issue.

So, I guess I'm best off staying put for another year while I work on getting Seattle Office of Housing grants and loans and looking for a qualified house or condo.

My favorite idea is to buy a travel trailer and rent a parking spot in my friend's driveway. (and drag it to some lovely beach in the islands every weekend) But I think Child Protective Services might have something to say about that!

But hey, then I'd own my own home!
