Hi, I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong community. To start, my husband is incarcerated in Pike County, PA. He had his sentencing hearing on March 27 2026 & was given 11/29-23 months but was released on parole/probation that day. Now, after driving 3.5 hrs to pick him up, we found out that his home plan was denied. My mom (where I've been staying pending our housing program rehousing us which is another mess I've been battling these past months) was willing to let him come to her house until our housing is straightened out. BUT she lives in a senior community & po would only allow if she could speak to the director of community & get ok for him to live here PERMANENTLY for 6+ mo. Of course that couldn't happen as he isn't over 62 & would screw up my mom's subsidized housing. So forget that. We have no one else. I tried explaining to his P.O. that it's only a temporary solution while we get our housing which should be within 1-2 months max as I've won my cases against the housing program for not rehousing us (me while he has been away) as promised. (Note she had my number, my mom's number, our case worker's & their supervisors' numbers as contacts) She didn't care. Now his parole/probation won't be Pike County directly as soon as he is released to come home, his case will be transferred to our city/County of Philadelphia. So all of this is basically going to be done via the phone. I even tried to have her speak with supervisor at my housing program to verify & apparently when she called, she spoke to someone who informed her (incorrectly) that first, my husband was no longer in the program due to his being in jail for over a year (yes he was arrested 4/2025 & was not fighting case) & also told her they lost almost all their funding which is also untrue. They lost some funding a couple of months ago when Trump made changes to HUD funding dispersements but they are still going strong. But that person made us look as tho we were trying to lie. But I digress. He has tried to contact counselors, parole/probation dept, anyone he could send a message to with absolutely not one resulting in a reply or visit. Nobody including po is trying to help him get out. I myself have called & emailed any organization I could find searching online with most not even answering or calling back & ones that did promised to look into but I've since been ghosted. The most frustrating part is obviously he has been clean the entire time he's been away doing a program there plus I've been successfully in a program since Sept AND even managed to get a part-time job even being homeless. And I'm so frustrated & angry & upset because NOBODY seems to want to help us. He is getting very depressed & negative as we are coming up to the 1-month mark that we have been trying to get him out. It's almost like well your not doing bad enough because when I was using on the street I could literally walk up to certain people & say help! And I'd be off the street like that...aka have a "permanent verifiable address". But I don't want to go back to our drug neighborhood/area especially alone to do that if that makes sense. I apologize for the length but I wanted to fully explain everything to help with questions & so anyone who may know how to handle would know before trying to help us & possibly wasting their time. Again hope that makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to read this & please forward if you know of someone better who could definitely help or point me in the correct direction. Stay safe!
