What is the qualification for being considered homeless in VA?

Posted on Jan 31, 2011 | 3 comments

Here’s my situation. I am a nineteen-year-old college student who is trying to get federal financial aid (a Stafford loan, technically) for my last year in college, which has already just begun.

I need to file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). I recently left my parents’ home because they are abusive and overly controlling and manipulative in the lives of their children. Unfortunately, the FAFSA requires parents’ tax and personal information (including SSN’s usually) unless the student can show they are independent by checking of an option from a list. I do not qualify for the age option – I am only nineteen and would need to be twenty-three, which I think is rather silly since technically the age of eighteen is that of a legal adult.

However…on to the homelessness idea. Being homeless or being at risk for homelessness is one of the options listed that can enable me to fill out the FAFSA without my parents’ information. Since moving out of my parents’ house, I have been living with my fiance and his family. However, they are almost constantly on the brink of losing their house because of mortgage payments, so really I could lose that home as well without too much warning at all.

To add to this, though I’m not sure if it counts…at the current time and during the school year I live in a dorm, though I highly doubt that counts as having a “home.”

Can anyone advise me on what the actual laws of Virginia state concerning being homeless? What does it take to be considered homeless or at risk for being homeless? Explanations or links with pertinent info would be appreciated.

If you live with your BF and in a dorm,you are not homeless. Homeless means you are on the streets or living in a shelter.

I am Andrian Ramirez, I am the Assistant Manager of Farmaprojects SA, Spain, i came to realize something when my company went down financially and we where looking for financial help to meet up with the stock market but due to our predicament with Banks in Spain we couldn’t meet them for help its was then i came to realize something that seeking for a genuine loan company is not just by the low interest rate and low cost of transfer they are giving to you or giving you all kinds of hope that you will have your loan if you can pay all the money they ask of you. Though its not that easy to find a legit lender on the internet because there are too many scam here but the only thing that will keep you going is trying and its also good to take risk some times because its more risky for one not to take risk in life, ever since all this years when i have been searching for a legit loan firm online, all i get was a scam but i still keep on trying and taking the risk until i came across an advert about a loan firm called Oceanic Wave Lenders Limited and i decided to give them a try and they assured me that am not going to pay for cost of transfer but i will have to insured the loan and my life and i will be responsible for what ever fees the insurance company will charge me, the only fees they (Oceanic Wave Lenders Limited) will be paying to the insurance company in respect of my loan is the premium fees, if it is monthly or yearly they will take responsible of that.
The truth is that when i had all this the first time i first of all think it was a scam but i have no option than to give them a try because my company need a huge amount of fund to take it place in the stock market and they really surprise me that is why i can boast of them in any where that there is still a legit loan firm in the internet, if you are interested in taking a loan from them this is their email address: [email protected] / [email protected] . I promise any one that will get in touch them, that he/she will surely enjoy their services, they also give yearly bonus to customers if you can refer up to 20 customers to them, If you would like to know more about them you can reach me with this email address [email protected].
