What if you can’t pay for a cab or public
transportation to reach the motel where you have been placed?
Tell your caseworker that you do not have the money to get to your
placement. Your caseworker will work with you to find transportation
options.
If you accept a placement, but then are unable to find transportation
to get there, you should not lose your benefits. You should let your
worker know what happened, so that DTA can make a placement for you
the next day. Contact your local legal services office if DTA denies
your family shelter because you were unable to get to a placement.
