Not quite. Section 8 is very difficult to get. You have to wait 3 years every time you apply, and, even if you have a disability they recognize and a medical history, you're still more likely to not get accepted. Some families live in section 8 housing, and they are seemingly experts in getting accepted for it. I knew a black kid in high school in possibly 2016 who already had his own section 8 apartment at 18, so he likely had to have applied when he was 15, unless waiting times were different back then.
I live with my dad. I'm technically in a legally grey area for living with him while receiving NEETbucks. It's not flat out illegal. I technically give him some of my NEETbucks, and this should make such a situation legal. If anything happens to my dad, I'm fucked, and my dad is well aware of this. My dad is a boomer and has some health issues, so he's legitimately worried for me, and so am I. I also don't like the fact that I can't really help out my dad, and he's been frustrated with me since I was 17 when I graduated high school. I'm 25.
Ideally, I would find a way to make money under the table with my NEETbucks and secretly invest a lot of the NEETbucks I get each month into crypto. (So taking it out of the brokerage and into a private bitcoin wallet that I'm very careful with, along with potentially converting some of it into monero.) I would then ideally have a few thousands of dollars saved up for an emergency that could potentially get me through rent. I'm not sure if the entire amount of NEETbucks I receive (aside from the $280 or so I get for food that technically isn't foodstamps) would even be enough to pay for rent. I don't have any family members I could move in with. My family, at least in the US (I also have some distant family in Poland.), is really poor and very antisocial from mental illness (narcissism). I really need to get my passport and learn Polish to a higher proficiency.
