Housing inspection was today.

Well, housing inspection was today, and I took the time to ask the housing inspector  about the cleaning issue.  Praise God, because he told us, point blank, what standards he was looking for.  The inspectors, here in Washington County look for whether one adult can get the house cleaned up within a couple of hours.  If it's been messy for a long time, and a person can see the difference, then, that is when the houses get failed for inspection.  I was so happy.  Even the inspector thought the hair on the baseboards was a crazy remark to make.  I told him to document what I said.  Oh, and the guy didn't know the thing about the three spiders either.  It was all scare tactics from the maintenance man. 

 

Here's the good part.  I'm going to have Todd right this next part, because he called the landlord and talked with him. 

 

When I called Brad, he was mildly cheery at first.  When he heard that our house passed, he sounded a little more cheery, and when I told him that even the inspector saw ***no*** dog hair on the baseboards Brad sounded even more cheery.  In fact, when we were about to hang up, it seemed like he didn't quite know what to say.Well, that's all from me, and I'll let Sean finish off the letter

 

So, by the time section 8 and HUD get my letter processed, I think there's going to be a real understanding.  Still pray that the intent of the letter that was sent is clearly understood by all in the proper authority.  Please also pray that appropriate action is taken. 

 

Now, my next  thing is to try to get the police and sherrifs' officers to become educated and give us people with disabilities equal and improved treatment.  I've heard way too many complaints from the disabled community, so, soon, I'll jump on that  and see what I can get done.  I'm not normally a reactionary, but I'm tired of the entrenched, and rebellious backward thinking in this area.  None of this garbage would be allowed in California, and I don't think it should be allowed anywhere.  Just pray that the Lord orders my steps and that I only do things in the way he directs me to do?  Thank you. I'm really actually a very easy going person, but I don't like to see others getting treated like dirt just because they have a problem.  the police in Portland don't deal well with the mentally ill people, or blind people.  I've heard the same about other populations, and it can't continue.  I can't change the world, but if I can take a bite out of ignorance in my little corner, I'll be happy.  We've lived in five years of oppression, because the officers won't really try.  Anyway, I just want to see positive changes happen.  All I'm going to do is write letters and maybe talk with the head of  the police and sheriff's departments, but only when God tells me.  Thanks, everyone for supporting me.  I'm not turning into some radical.  I just don't like seeing this kind of backward treatment.  Hey, it took me five years to finally move, so you know it had to take a lot to get me to a place where I am wanting to advocate for the disabled population at the various agencies.  My way is to quietly stir the water by writing letters and having calm conversations with professionals to see if we can work together and make a difference.

 

anyway, thanks for putting up with me.  Just pray that God is in control of any advocating I try to do.  I only want it to be Him anyway.

 

Blessings to all, in the Name of Jesus,
