I believe we have programs like that, with a percentage thing, but they don't apply if you're on welfare, as far as I'm aware.
My rent is actually fairly low, considering. I could probably find a bachelor apartment in a scuzzy neighbourhood for less, if I was able to move. Maybe even subsidized housing, but most of that goes to families from what I know of it. The biggest problem is being in a lease, but also, I live very close to friends and family where I am now. Moving would take me away from that little support. Unless the savings were considerable, it wouldn't be worth it probably. Welfare provides a different allowance for housing, so, if I found a place for less than my housing allowance (which is near impossible I think) I wouldn't get to keep the money. Welfare would just pay the actual amount.

It's really not a bad suggestion, I thank you! It's just that low-cost housing is hard to get into, and I don't think it would change my situation that much as I'm not actually earning any income, you know? :)
