I more so need help with the cost to move into an apartment and finding a landlord who will not rent to me due to a prior eviction not on my fault. I am at loss of where to even begin to look for help and any information or help you can provide for me I appreciate more then you could ever imagine. Thank you for your time and consideration for reading this message. I hope to hear from you soon.

I have recently gotten into an apartment in my area. I'm a single mom and know that I will not be able to afford this place on my own but I was evicted before too which is a problem. I was receiving child support but recently have not received any. I'm working as a stylist and my income isn't enough to cover my rent and all my daughter’s needs. How could I get rental assistance? Is there an application I will need to fill out?

I am in desperate need for rent assistance and can't qualify due to past evictions. I have had this apartment for the past year and a half. I have never been late or missed a payment until June. I paid part of June, and now I owe July. My landlord said she would allow me to stay if I paid June and July, if I promise to pay August by the end of the month. I tried to get a loan but I did not qualify due to because I am not employed. I was a student until May. I did part time work and that is how I paid my bills. I have three kids and I do not want to be kicked out
I tried for government assistance but due to the fact that my rent is higher than the limited amount for a two bedroom two bath, I do not qualify and also I had a past eviction. Other assistance programs told me that they do not have enough funds or they are done with applications for this month. I do not have family or friends that can help. My landlord refuses to give an eviction letter because she said it is a long process. The assistance programs require a letter of eviction.

To Whom this May Concern,

My name is Alicia, I have been consistently homeless for almost three years prior to January 2022. I am struggling to rent due to past evictions. September of 2020 I moved to the House Of Mercy in Janesville. Being that I am the mother of four kids I was very grateful they were able to stay with family during this time. By the grace of God, before I had to leave the shelter I had gotten approved for the Rapid Rehousing program.
With two prior evictions on my record the payment was only the beginning of my issues. Once again prayers were answered and I Found myself moving into a two bedroom lower level of a house, in a decent neighborhood. I am currently actively looking for work and have my kids weekends. I AM BLESSED.
I was actually reviewing your site in hopes of finding any sort of resource able to help me with immediate needs in a "bone bare" house and help with my past evictions. I am in desperate need of ALL housewares, hygiene, cleaning supplies, and furniture, ANY furniture would be quite helpful. I don't currently have any seating or beds for the kids and I, as well as also Needing to be able to provide the kids with a computer or laptop to do their schoolwork while with me. I may be able to gather a small amount toward these thing but nearly enough to put a dent in it.
Any direction in this matter would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter,
Alicia

There are resources out there. Some free legal aid programs can help. Or some government housing takes some tenants with past evictions. We have a list of options, resources, and programs here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... ction.html

I was wondering if I could receive assistance in removing an eviction from my record so I can rent again. I currently live in Jacksonville, Florida. I was evicted earlier this year and I am having trouble finding a new place. I came to an agreement and repayment plan in which the apartment management wrote a letter that I settled my debt and it was filed with the courts that I paid and was released from my lease requirements. Is there anything that I can do to the prior eviction? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
