@carolee Hi I'm a senior almost 80 now I moved from Pa to Ca after my husband died For personal reasons.I found a low income housing in Long Beach paying 498.00 a month ,1bedroom This was under the original owners when they sold it was with confirmation of keeping those who lived her still low giving us a voucher for section8 I pay 468 rent but regular price now for 1bedroom I'd 1400.00 still the cheapest here .Other places are much higher so you need to look around research where you want to go.I was very fortunate .Good luck
