I'd like to move back to PA [View all]

Unfortunately, with my very limited fixed income, I need a cheap room or boarding house, and they are not easy to find. So I thought I'd float the question here at DU. Pittsburgh or Philly area would be favorite, but I wouldn't rule out other, less expensive areas.

67 years old with no bad habits at all. Very quiet, keep to my room and myself. A WiFi and a laptop and I'm happy all day.

But I can't afford more than $400 a month, which makes apartments impossible. Subsidized housing works, but the waiting lists are long and the application has to be made in person, the materials can't be sent in the mail. As I currently live out of state, this is also problematic, at least until I can get back in state.
