Ok I am a 28 year old female with cf and between doctor copays and prescription co pays, car payment and insurance.... I cannot afford to move out on my own. I feel like a looser. I lived with my boyfreind for about 2 1/2 years, so when we broke up I had no other option to move back home <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Does anyone know of any programs for people with cf to help with rent? Please let me know ok thanks alot Candice

Here is some info that might help you.

They help those with CF pay for expenses not covered by health insurance.

Have you contacted your state for any assistance? It can vary by state.

Candice,

you may qualify for public housing. Many of these neighborhoods are unsavory but some aren't to bad.

I almost could have been the one to sign my name to that post. I feel the same way... I was living with close friends and when I got sick at 29 and I couldn't afford to live on my own and I really had no place to go, so I ended up having to move back home with my dad and his wife. I hated doing that so much.. I hadn't lived with my dad since I was 12, so it was really horrible at first. Now I am so grateful and can't imagine what I would do without them. They do everything for me as far as money, food, pay my bills (most of them) and give me spending money and I am 33. I am in school and I do work part time but my pay almost all of it goes toward my insurance and I think it will be better when I graduate in May.

As far as programs, I know each state is different but I was thinking if you contacted your Center they may be able to guide you in which programs are specifically for CF. I would be interested to know as well.

Good luck,

Jennifer
