Rent assistance programs for people with mental illness

[Ego Server]

Hello, I'm a single mother of two school age boys. Back in July I recently had to quit my job for 13 years because of my ongoing mental issues. I applied for SSI disability but was later denied after waiting for 5 months. Of course I've appealed their decision and have applied for other financial aid for mentally ill, but that will take them another 12 to 16 months just in order for me to get an appeal date.
So now my rent is $2,500 dollars past due I was hoping if you could help me pay that to my landlord, he would be very grateful for that as well as my two boys and I. Thank you,

If you were denied for disability, there must be a reason for it. So your chances of getting rental assistance will be more limited as agencies probably expect you to work, etc. In fact, why do you not have a job? There is no guarantee to getting SSI anyway, so what do you plan on doing for the next 12 - 16 months? You can trying a program that offers help paying rent, but that issue you have on not working is a big barrier to overcome.

I'm a 10 month school employee who had a job lined up for the summer, since I knew June would be my last paycheck until September 2018, however, the company cut back on a few employees, and I was no longer needed before I started. I received my last check in June along with losing 7 days of no pay for teacher assistants and I was unable to pay rent for June, July & August.
I spoke with my landlord via letter and he's willing to work with me, even though I have a mental illness. I've been seeking part time work the whole summer and found nothing. I'm steady searching and I plan on working part time when I find employment because I seriously behind on rent. I know others are struggling as well, but I'm believing for miracles for all of us! Thank you.
