I need assistance with affording a security deposit for rent in a restricted income property located in Rio Rancho NM. I am disabled and seeking work from home, and my computer needs service so I can work from home. I need help with locating a stimulus program that will help me to begin again and be self supportive. My disablity income Puts me out of range for most assistance programs but I need help to get to the next month or I will remain homeless and living out of my car for which I am 3 days late on my car payment too. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! PLEASE.

We at needhelppayingbills.com do not call people. All communication is by email. So it looks like you registered from Texas. Look into credit counseling, HUD agencies, and section 8 in Texas. A listing of agencies is here. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/sec ... texas.html
Almost all of the housing and rent programs are free to apply to. Unfortunately many of them have waiting lists. But call them as a starting point. They may be able to direct you towards other options or programs as well.
there are agencies such as the Brazoria County Housing Authority (979) 864-1427 and the Harris County Housing Authority Phone (713) 578-2100 All of which offer section 8 vouchers to Texas families.

My electric bill is also two months behind I don't want them to disconnect my lights, when then need to pay another deposit, it's just hard right now.

It appears as if you registered from southern California, and specifically the Orange County region. Yes, CA has been hit hard by the recession, and it is difficult for many people. Just keep looking for a job, network, talk to friends, family, etc. In the meantime, find those Orange County CA rent programs, charities, and organizations. Places like Garden Grove United Labor Agency of Orange County offer an Emergency Assistance Program ((714) 740-0928) and an organization like Anaheim Community Foundation may be able to offer rent or security deposit assistance. Phone (714) 765-4419.

Security deposits are not as common to get funds for, but you can call around. Find programs for Bell County Texas here, and call agencies and government programs like Helping Hands Ministry (phone 254-939-7355). But good to stay with a friend until you do get financial help.

We have information on tons of agencies, non-profits, and programs to call in Los Angeles County, which looks like where Sylmar is. Find the Los Angeles assistance programs, who to call, where to go for help, etc. Some may have housing, deposits, etc. To find agencies in the region that focus on housing and rent, find them listed here. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/los ... tance.html Now you will need to call around, but this may give you some places to ask.

We already did reply to your original post. Please use that posting. It looks like you finally provided more information on location. So use this for financial assistance in Logan, including rent and other support.

My friend is homeless and on disability. He only receives 300 and something a month until he has a residence. He has been approved for a house and having a lot of difficulty coming up with the deposit and first month so he can get off the streets and his check increase (able to pay bills). He has paid $100.00 and has to pay $550.00 more to get in. Please let me know if there is any way to help. DSS will help with $300 but only after, he has the other $250. He has been using the money from this month to eat and survive. The assistance can be made payable to or directly given to him. Thank you and May God Bless!
