I need to raise money for a lawyer and to move my children into an apartment. We are not receiving assistance from DHS.  I am a homeless graduate student raising two kids with the help of their dad. My family was homeless for 2 years. DHS moved us to East Orange, NJ on June 2, 2018. When we arrived they were still doing construction on the property. The movers from DHS dropped our bags off and left us in a construction zone.
On December 22,2018 my family and I had to leave the property and go back to PATH so that we can get shelter. The house currently has no water and no heat.
While all of this is going on I have been trying to reach out to the property manager and he is nowhere to be found.The house is being condemned by the city of East Orange because there is sewage underneath house, frozen pipes, and backed up feces in both bathrooms. I have two children one in which has chronic asthma and has been hospitalized twice sense moving into this house and the other has ADHD. All of our belongings were damaged and no longer salvageable. DHS is refusing to give us another voucher 
My family deserves justice. DHS is refusing to give us another voucher or assist us with our housing search. I am asking for help. I need resources for my family. We need lawyers and politicians who can help change the way the homeless population is treated. Please share our story and shine light on the way that the department of homeless services treat families.
