My mom is an alcoholic and her bf is a drinker too. I put her through rehab and her bf sent her a plane ticket to arizona. She left without telling me. I had plans to help her get a job through a temp agency and to get state assistance for housing until she got back on her feet.(she used to work for a lawfirm and is very smart but is a typical alcoholic and doesnt use it) Now she and her bf are in arizona and are both jobless, she doesnt have a car or any money. I am trying to help her get assistance for job placement or even from a womens shelter to help with a job search. How long do you have to live in AZ before you are eligible for any state programs? She claims it is 6yrs but I dont know if she is lying. Can anyone recommend anything that I may be able to do to help her? I do not want to send money since they will blow it on drinks but I am sending her some interview clothes. Anything?
P.S. I looked up the AZ state benefits website and they do not list the residency requirements and are not open until monday but will try talking to them. If anyone has any insight or advice it is appreciated :)
