CAN PAY UP TO $150/MONTH MORE IF UTILITIES ARE INCLUDED

　　I am a senior male, seeking affordable housing --- preferably, a furnished cabin or small house. I lived in a small cabin in Val Verde a few years ago, and would love to move back there or to a similar rural or semi-rural area. I would definitely consider a house or apartment in Newhall or Fillmore.

　　I am no longer employed, but have an adequate social security income (old age, not SSI) . Because of huge past medical bills, I know that my credit is poor, so I am not willing to waste money on a credit check.

　　I AM NOT INTERESTED IN RENTING A ROOM IN A PRIVATE HOME OR SHARING AN APARTMENT OR HOUSE WITH A ROOMMATE.

　　Although I do have some health challenges, I am very active in my church (Episcopal), and do lots of volunteer work (the attached photo is a recent one, taken on one of my volunteer gigs).Since I no longer drive, I need easy accessibility to public transportation. My church and volunteer activities are in Los Angeles, so I am happy that there's now 7-day MetroLink service between Los Angeles and Santa Clarita, and that Santa Clarita Transit provides regular bus service into Val Verde and Castaic.

　　I'd like to have a cat, and --- if I have a house --- also a dog.

　　Rent-to-own would be ideal --- but, for what I can pay, not likely!
