He spent more than nine months in and out of the hospital. He became homeless and ended up living in a homeless shelter in the Goose Hollow neighborhood for three months. <br /> <br /> During that time, he filled out rental application after rental application. He estimates he paid more than $500 in application fees and was rejected by more than 10 housing units. He found an apartment, six blocks from the shelter, just as he neared the then-90-day limit there.</div>
