Internally Displaced Person (Refugee)
It has been 1,624 days since the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) forced me to leave my home—without any of my belongings, and without the signed Housing Choice Voucher and Request for Tenancy Approval documents that federal law requires them to release to me. I have been homeless every day since.
At present, my brother has given me a run-down house that feels more abandoned than lived in. I did not ask for it. He suggested it, and I trusted him—and it is nothing like he said it would be. He is nothing like he has ever been. When this is over, I will never speak to him again. I could easily die here, and for that—he is already dead to me.
The included letter arrived today at this abandoned, rural house where I now live in isolation.
To move forward in securing placement on the one-to-two-year waiting list for a Housing Choice Voucher—the very same item I already had, which was fraudulently and illegally stolen when I exercised my federal right to transfer and relocate out of state on February 28, 2019—I must provide verification of disability.
I do not have a doctor, because they are in the state where I should have been able to legally transition into new housing on February 28, 2019. They are unable to provide verification of my disability, having not seen me in more than a year.
I do not have medical insurance in the current state of Minnesota I've had to return to due to the stolen HCV, because there is no sense in taking on the very “root abuse” I fled when I left on February 28, 2019 which is fraud and retaliation in DHS where I would have to get the insurance from—especially when I do not even have security to protect myself from their attacks once they have an address.
Having medical insurance in Minnesota in no way guarantees that I will receive medical treatment here; if that were a reality none of this would have ever happened. In fact, the chances of encountering further discrimination, retaliation, and attacks against whatever small stability I have managed to maintain are far greater—and have already occurred in both instances of contacting the agency responsible for public medical insurance since I returned to the state on January 21st.
