*By Sara Binder Santa Monica*

(The Daily Press) article in the weekend edition (“Where the heart is,” July 14-15) was a sweet story for the lucky ones who were able to get affordable housing.

I am 77, have lived in Santa Monica for 50 years, ran a successful business, and am an advocate for many different programs in Santa Monica, like Heal the Bay. All I get from managers of buildings is “maybe two to five more years.”

I may be dead by then. Any more suggestions to get me into affordable housing, so I don’t have to borrow money each month to cover my rent?
