Should i stay where i live?

I stayed in a hospital for eight months waiting for housing. They found a place for me to live, in this company i pay $225 dollars a month and i don't pay electricity. I live in a clean building but there is no elevator in it and i have to go up to the 4th floor. I don't think this company let's you be homeless because my roommate has been living here for more than a year, he is not being charged any rent and he is not being evicted. When i received the apartment it was furnished. I want to move to public housing but when you live there you have to buy everything and the apartment you get is not furnished. The important thing is to not end up homeless.

    You don't have to buy everything right away.  When I got my first apartment, I had a bed, kitchen table & chairs.  That was it.  I soon bought a chair - and got it home on the bus.  In fact, I put it in the aisle of the bus and sat on my own chair in the bus.  As I could afford more pieces, I bought them.  Nobody expects you to have thousands of dollars and to furniture an entire apartment from day 1.

    If you are in the USA, there is currently restrictions on evictions due to covid.  That is set to end June 30, 2021 or earlier depending on the court case outcomes. 

    After that, your roommate will likely be evicted.
