Well here are my two cents! Literally
I am the designated "caller" to the Road Home to find out the status of our possible grant? Every time I call they refer me to the website where I can never find out info on anything I want to know. I also always ask, when I do get a live person, is mine taking longer than others since we have been waitng on our final determination letter since February and when I ask this question they say there is no "normal" timing or even "average" It makes me crazy that they seem to have no knowledge of their own internal processes. So now I am told to keep calling, but they probably cannot tell me anything else. Here we are in May
Deb. Oh well.
