I applied to the whole process some months ago, and my position on the list finally counted down to the point I was actually selected and could apply.

Likely the main reason it was only a few months wait time for me is twofold:

1. I am legit disabled, receive SSDI.

2. I moved several states away, partially to get away from all of the insane people that did a whole bunch of crimes to me, but also to an area with significantly lower rent than where I was originally.

That being said... I just today got two emails from Fedex, stating that two packages I either sent or ordered arrived... in April. It is July, and I have never lived in CA, nor ordered any packages or sent any there.

It sure is a lot of fun having your phone and wallet stolen every couple of weeks, half the time in muggings!

Maybe if I get an actual real address I can actually start the process of restoring an identity.

I will check around for those groups that you suggest, but I am in a rather Republican area now.

The mega irony of this whole scenario is that before all this insane shit happened to me, I was working at a non profit helping the homeless.

After I got royally fucked up and lost my job due to inability to use a keyboard (both of my hands were broken and I was a data analyst), they didn't give a fuck to help a now homeless former employee.

Oh well, with any luck, I am fucking retired now lol.
