I am currently coming out of an abuses relationship where my husband put me out of his apartment with his child and render us homeless. I am staying with a family friends but it as gotten quit uncomfortable for me and the baby. I was advise to not go on any social assistance because it will lesson my chance of getting my paper. I was considering to go on housing so i can have a peace of mind with my child but i am afraid don't want it to mess up my paper work. Just asking if it's safe to go on housing while applying for my permanent resident.
