I was recently released from prison. I have a job, Im doing everything that I can possibly do for my daughter but her mom is giving me a bad time, all I wanna do is spend time with my daughter but her mom wont let me. I would like to know what all I will have to do to get weekend visit with her.
I invited to have an interview for my application but I was upset because I was denied by you after I have make more effort to complete my eligibility. I made calls on 2-9-21 and 2-10-21 about getting the interview but I was asked to leave a message about my name, case numbers and telephone number and I would get a call back within 24 hours. I did not get any return calls. Then on 2-11-21 I called again and I left message and also complained that I did not get return call. Then I went to your office but the office is closed. I am not able to make it. I was denied because I did not make an interview for application for medical and I did not have an interview, so I lost my eligibility.
the last time i came to your office it was closed
I'm in need of some financial and possible housing assistance. I applied to CareerSource of Gainesville back on January of this year due to a lost of my job back on November 2018. I applied for unemployment but was denied and told to just keep looking for a job. I did so from January of this year until now. I have had a few interviews but no hire. I recently went back to Career Source center for more assistance and was directed to keep applying and hopefully I'll find something soon. while my Rent has been paid for this month I will not be able to take care of it without some assistance in the future. I can get my GRU extended but other bills may suffer in the process. It's possible that I may need to start looking into some government assistance with finance and housing. I'm hoping not but it's looking very grim. can you advice me on my situation:
