Hello my name is Michael Taylor. I am deaf. I have been looking for deaf services in Scranton, PA which is in Lackawanna county. I need help find deaf services that would help me and my girlfriend find a place to live. My girlfriend is hearing and is 8 months pregnant. Anybody can help me or know where I can go? Thank you!

I would apply for it but no permanent address. We been living in motel ever since the third of this month :(
 
Sad that you're expecting your child and on the street....Is she getting any pre-natal care?....Feel sure the Homeless Shelter would not turn you down until something comes up....there is a long waiting list for HUD (Section 8 Housing)....
 
sometimes they can make the difference with the priority with HUD (section 8 housing) for clients. My friend got it within a month
 
I work in social services but not in that county. I will ask around and send you a message if I come up with anything that might be helpful. Good luck to you and your family!
 
Hope this helps...
