I am a mother of three small children. We are currently staying with a grandparent in Missouri, but can not stay here long. I have no job or money or family that I can go to for help. I have tried United Way but the resources I have received from them have not helped me in any way. I don't know what else to do. I need housing for my family and work to provide for them. If there are any other suggestions please send any and all details. Please, I need help.

Off of this page, which lists most Missouri assistance programs, you will be able to find resources for low income housing, help for bills, and other resources, all in addition to the United Way. It is good that you though of the United Way in Missouri, but that is not your only option.

I was recently a victim of domestic assault as a result of this I have nowhere to go. I am currently staying at my mother’s house In Illinois but there is no room for me or my son here and my daughter will be here any day now. As I am currently 38 weeks pregnant. I just need help getting into a place of my own. I am currently unemployed right now so this is making things a lot harder. I just need a little help right now anything would be greatly appreciated.

So you live in the Illinois region? And Champaign in particular? If so, then here are some housing programs, social services, and something called tenant based rent assistance. This resource may be able to help you.

I am a single mother of 3 children. I have been out of work since October and I am trying to find work. In the past few months my father has been helping me with my bills. However he can no longer afford to do so. I am looking for assistance in paying my electric and my rent for this month as well as help in job placement. I am a current graduate of Lincoln College and in November of 2012 received my associate’s degree in medical assisting but have yet to find a job in my field.

I live in Missouri and I lost my job in December. I've been disqualified for unemployment but have filed a request for a hearing which is scheduled for Thursday. I have no money coming in what so ever and my rent is in arrears by $2000. I need information on any resources’ you have for rental assistance so we're not evicted. We have no family to go to for help so I'm asked the state of Missouri for help so my family doesn’t end up on the street. I'm not married (so single) and have a 12 year old son. Can you help me or guide me on which way to turn?
