Hi Mustaches,
I was wondering if you might be able to help me with some resources for my dad, who Is a senior citizen who gets $100 per month EBT, section 8 housing, and retirement benefits as a vet.
I know of many discounts that are for your special occasions, like the zoo lol. But when I look into section 8 housing and veterans discounts it becomes a bit of a task. I signed up for updates geared towards section 8 recipients and ended up getting quite a bit of junk mail. I tried looking at public resources but those then refer me on to less helpful resources.
He has a case manager since he goes to the veterans hospital regularly but I think she's spread thin and can't give him the attention that someone his age and poor health need.
I live on the east coast and do the best I can when I visit, or by phone (like ordering delivery for vons since he walks with a cane).
Do you guys have general ideas about getting things discounted? I plan in November to visit him, but in bulk at cost co, and arrange for a Csa to deliver to him directly. He may have to move soon so im checking out neighborhoods in San Diego that are more senior citizen friendly. He's lived in some sr citizen homes but they haven't worked out long term, mainly because he can't afford it.
Any suggestions would be helpful!
Sincerely
thrifted
