Get help with paying bills or free stuff.

Hello, I live in Burlington IA. I was recently the victim of assault and am seeking help from whoever can give it. I have injuries that prevent me from working and I don't know how I will pay my rent. I've already applied for victims assistance but that could take some time. Please respond as soon as you can and let me know what options are available to me. Thank you so much in advance.

Iowa does have some agencies for rent and similar needs. If you applied for victims assistance, does that mean you are injured from a husband? Or fleeing from DV or abuse? As some charities will also offer programs for those situations. As far as other help, locate eviction prevention in Iowa.
