California rental programs

[Bobbie13]

I currently reside in Los Angeles, California 90031. I am a single mother of four, ages 14, 13, 10 & 9. Two girls & 2 boys. It is going on about 6 years now that the father of my kids has been deceased. It's been nothing but financial struggles ever since for me. I lost my car and now I need to move. I've tried to maintain a stable home for my kids as well as to have a stable school for them. I was able to find a new place for us... I gave a partial deposit down so that I was guaranteed the apartment. Now all I need is a miracle to be able to complete 1st & last month rent to move into this place. I have been trying to make money but I'm still short. I have till the 27 of this month to move from my current place to my new place. So if somehow you can help me out I would very much so appreciate it. 1st month $1000 + $500 total I need is 1500. I already gave $500 down to hold the apartment. I pray in the name of Jesus that I somehow make this work or I will have to let my kids know I fail them. Thank you.

I'm a caregiver and am work for In-Home Supportive Services. My mother has multiple health issues including both physical and mental. She used to receive section 8 prior to moving to having to relocate Los Angeles. We tried to have her voucher transferred and where told we couldn't this was in 2006. We have been on the waiting list since 2007. We are a low income family and as I said my mother is disabled. We need rental assistance help.

I was diagnosed in July 2013 with a heart condition. I was placed on disability and at the same time my job terminated me. I have worked my entire life and I am eligible to receive disability benefits, but still haven’t received anything from the state of California. I continuously call EDD disability and even sit in their office for at least five hours with no results. In the mean time my family and I are suffering. I have three teenage children who depend on me and I haven’t received any type of income since July 8, 2013. I haven’t paid my rent going on three months and have shut off notices on all bills. Please guide me to someone who will help us in our time of need. Thank you. Have a blessed day!

There is some emergency eviction prevention services in Los Angeles, and they can also help people with a mental condition too. While we are not sure if they will transfer an existing voucher, you can try. The program is known as EAPE, and it offers financial aid for rent to stop eviction and other aid. Read Los Angeles eviction prevention from EAPE.

I need help with paying my deposit and first months rent in California. I sleep on my cousin couch. She is giving me thirty days to find me a place to stay.
I've been looking a ran across a few things but didn't have any money saved up for deposit nor first month's rent (I was jobless). I now found me a job that I've been on for almost 2 months now and I've been saving but I only have enough to pay for my utilities, so if I can just get help with that I'll keep everything up on my bills. I really need this.

Hello,
My name is Barbara Johnson, I'm a resident of Contra Costa County, Richmond, CA to be exact... I need assistance on pay past due rent due to the covid 19 pandemic and I had a water pipe burst in my apartment which was another down fall.
I would like to inquire if you all provide rental assistance or programs in California? I'm behind a month and a half of back rent. I'm grateful I was able to pay the full amount for the month of November 2021... I'm trying to figure out how to catch up and pay the past due amount I current owe.
I hope to hear from someone soon,

Hi, my name is Leyla and I currently live in Anaheim, California. I'm in dire need of rental assistance, but I can't find an organization or charity that helps with my city. I have called over 30 places, including 211 and I just hit a wall. I live alone in a apartment in Anaheim and I'm unable to pay my rent. I injured my neck and back in a car accident, so I'm also having trouble finding a job I can physically do. I applied for disability but I haven't gotten an update on that yet.
My lease is up in June and if I resign my lease, they will be increasing my rent by $110 (I currently pay $1,505). My parents were helping pay my rent and bills for the past 2 months but they can no longer financially afford it as neither of them work anymore. I've taken all the steps to look up and call resources to help me out but the only response I get is that they don't have rental assistance programs for my area and they only serve South OC. I also have a student loan to pay, so I can't afford to go back to school until that's paid. This is the first time I'm asking for help. Can you help me with rental assistance in California? Can you guide me to someone that can help? Sorry for the long message, I'm exhausted and desperate for help. Luckily I qualified for EBT, so at least I have that covered.
