no one to two month security deposit on hand.

I was just thinking that - - and, and . . . in the cities/towns where the wait-list for low-income housing is a very lengthy wait-list, then yeah the social-worker can issue a motel voucher good for a certain period of time :( sad but true.

Me and a gal from work have helped out a lady and her daughter who were living out of a motel. That lady's hold-up was exactly as you stated - THE DEPOSIT. I know of a few church-going folk that have also helped out families in that same scenario . . . so yeah, you're right, it really isn't that uncommon!
