St. Petersburg Florida Assistance

Post by jMacdouglas1 »

I am a single woman living in St Pete Florida. I am currently experiencing some minor health issues and lost my job due to cutbacks in September. My umemployment is exhausted and it is hard enough to find a job when you are healthy let alone not. I am hoping this is temporary and can get back to work in the next few months. In the meantime, I cannot pay bills, have only been paying rent and necessities and am now completely out of ideas. I need help with credit card debt, rent, food, electric, phone bill, etc. I have no children or dependents so I do not qualify for aid. Please help with any suggestions, I am one step away from being homeless. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, cheryladams30@hotmail.com

The government extended unemployment benefits, so take advantage of that. Also, look for a roomate if you are single and living alone. That will cut most of your major expenses, such as rent and utility bills, in half or even more if more than one roomate. A quick and easy 50% recution in expenses.

Nursing homes can be paid for by government aid like Medicaid. Did you look into that? That would free up your cash to pay rent and energy bills. St. Petersburg does have several agencies you can contact, and click here for a listing of agencies. Several emergency assistance programs also operate in the region, so maybe those are your best option.

Housing assistance needed as kids & I are currently living in a pay by the week extended stay hotel in St. Petersburg Florida area. I also need Resume help, child care subsidy, credit counseling &/or bankruptcy counseling, legal advice (civil), and financial assistance to finish my college degree, & MOST IMPORTANTLY, Transportation assistance or donation. It takes an act of God to just GET to a single job interview! How on earth can I expect five days of concurrent miracles To occur.

To whom it may concern,
 need help in paying rent and bills in St. Petersburg Florida. I was dismissed from my school program, and I 've been able to find a job. I will be transferring to another state for school because I would like to continue my journey with achieving my degree. I tried to get out my lease in St. Petersburg Florida, but they said that I need to pay for one more month of rent here. I also need help with the new place that I'm looking into in the other state. I never received help, because I also had a decent job to pay my bills, but now I feel like everything is not working out the way it should be. I have proof that I've been searching for work, but I still have not had any luck. I'm currently in the state of Florida and planning to relocate to the state of New Jersey by March 1st because I will be starting school over there.
I just feel really stuck right now because I don't have any money. I still want to achieve my dream, but I just keep running into issues. I had to borrow money to pay for my rent this month, and I feel like I'm in so much debt right now. I hope that I could receive some help because I feel hopeless right now.

Have you tried your local community action agency in Florida? If not, look into their services. They give free grants, have information on job placement, and so much more. They are free to use too, and find community action agencies in Florida here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... agenc.html
