Rent help for disabled

[wwillimas1959]

I am a 50 year old disable woman and have two teenage girls that I care for. I need assistance with paying my rent.I have allowed myself to get in debt over my head trying to pay for college for one of my girls and not knowing all about the scholarship and grants she could have apply for I'm not able to pay all my bills. My credit is not good, but not so bad so I can't get a loan. Please if you know of any resources to assist.

It maybe best to deal with your debts first. try credit card hardsip programs or forebearance programs. These are programs that banks and card issuers have, that most people do not know about, and they can either reduce your interest rates or even wipe out your debt. Here is some more info on them.

The federal government Housing and Urban Development (HUD) does offer rental programs for the disabled and others who need rent help. Usually they provide certain types of housing, and some money (maybe the first 4 months) that can be used to get you settled in. Your local and state government usually have applications for HUD.

I am in desperate need of paying my rental arrears before I am evicted. I am awaiting a decision from SSA about my disability, until then I cannot pay my back rent and am in danger. I live with my 3 children and grandson in Ithaca NY. They are having trouble finding jobs as the economy is not so great here, my son is working part time. I need to know about The Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program as it seems to be something that could save us. Please help!!!!!

Ithaca, the home of Cornell, is in Tompkins County, and here is a listing of agencies, government programs and more

Maybe the number one place to call is the Tompkins Community Action agency at 273-8816. While they may not have funds for back rent, they may be able to help with upcoming payments. They will also more than likely have info on the homeless prevention program, which is the Obama stimulus plan.

Have you looked into government help from Section 8 housing? It is a federal government funded program in which thousands of low income individuals and families get housing and rent help every year. Usually unfortunately there is a waiting list, but you can call an agency to get on it. Most of the agencies that run section 8 will also provide information on other assistance programs and ways to get housing help. Like credit counseling, information on programs such as LIHEAP, and more. Details on section 8, as well as phone numbers and who to call can be found here.

[Admin]

HUD, or section 8? Either may be able to help, especially if you do have a disabled grandson. If it was HUD, here is a listing of non-profit HID agencies, most of which provide free advice and other forms of support. They may be able to refer you to programs to help you pay your water bills too.

I'm a single mother of two. One of my children is disabled. We are living with someone right now. But we are risking being put out everyday. I need something stable. As in my own place. I've lived on my own since 06 but i recently had to give up my place and my job because of my sons medical condition. We felt it was best to be with family to help out with his needs. However, that its working out, so i would prefer for me and my children to be in our own home so that we can live as one family.

[Admin]

Great that family took you in to help. Anyway to save some money while you stay there. That is important to start off on own with savings. In addition, yes, look into government help or charity programs. Find how to get rent help, and this page provides overview and links to local programs. If you provide your state/county we can be more specific on what we reply with, but for now use the main resource/link.

I am a person with a learning disability I lost my job back in April of 2011 and fell behind on my rent which means I am in rental arrears. I recently found a salaried job again which I will be starting on 2/2/12. I am currently in school for my MSW I am trying to better myself I need help with finding the money for my rental arrears which is 11,000 at this time I have tried everything and the response has not been good please help me

[Admin]

Many agencies do focus on the disabled, which is good. You may be first in line for emergency rent help, or low income housing units. Unfortunately you did not provide your state, so our reply is very generic. Use this for government assistance programs. States are down the page, and select yours. $11,000 in back rent is kind of high, so doubt you can get help. But can call around.
