Rental assistance

[Sophia Leone]

Hello, my name is Efrain. I have tried everything from calling and applying for loans to find assistance with paying my rent. I don’t know what else I can do to get rent assistance. I’m about to lose my home and become homeless. I’ve never been in a situation like this before.
Every time I call for help, I’m told someone can assist me, but then I just get another phone number for a different location. I’m emailing you to see if there is anything else I can do. My landlord has told me she can’t push the rent back any longer. It’s either I pay or move out, and I have nowhere to go.
I got sick and was unable to work for a while, which caused me to fall behind on my bills. I just need assistance for this month. I swear I would pay back what I owe—I just need a helping hand. I’ve applied everywhere I can, but my poor credit has prevented me from getting approved.
I have until the 23rd of this month to get rent assistance, and I’m begging my landlord to give me more time. Please, I’m asking for your help.
Thank you,
Efrain

Hello!
I am Georgina, North Charleston SC. (843)7275532.
I have been calling many places and even applied to temporary Charleston County Rental & Utility Assistance. I was turned down because they said I am in Dorchester County.
Dorchester County has no openings.
My Dominion bill of $156.39 is due May 25th.
My rent of $875 is pass due because my SSI and Social Security only totals $814.
I am on the brink of becoming homeless at 66 and disabled. I only need temporary rental assistance to keep me in the house.
Then utilities I can do later.
Please, can you help me?

Hello, I am currently looking for temporary assistance with my rent. Here is my story....
I worked for this real estate company as a sub-contractor I had worked on their houses. I came across a house that me and my wife wanted and I asked them if I can rent the house from them. They said yes and our agreement was I work for them and they take the rent out my work and I get paid the rest of money if I made more than rent from them. Well I haven't been getting any work from them lately and they sent me a 3 day eviction notice on Wednesday. I lived in this house and worked for them for 2 years never had a problem until recently. I am stuck between a hard spot and a rock. I have 3 kids - one 4 year old a 3 year old and a 6 month old baby and I don’t want to live on the streets. I have been looking for temporary rent help and came across you guys. If you can help or have any resources please contact me, thank you and god bless you.

Hi. I want to get information on getting assistance to move into a home or get a temporary rent for home in the meantime. At the end of this month my lease is over from where I am currently at. I have no money for a down payment at the moment. The deposit I have in this apartment is to be returned to me soon after I move out. My check will barely cover the bills. And for the past 2 or 3 months I have been paying the rent late because I can't afford it anymore. Honestly son that is 12 and I only need a temporary place for about a month or 3 weeks until we find something more affordable for the rent we pay. I have no family support, nor do I receive child support. I am a single mother and the father is no longer in the picture. My son refuses to see his father due to a recent child abuse case that ended just last year. I would appreciate any helpful information I can get to make our transition back into an apartment a lot easier. We have nowhere to go and we will settle with any help. Thank you very much.

I got 5 days to pay my rent. I still haven't pay for the month of June. I am currently unemployed with two children.
Their father was paying the bills but was arrested. I was attending college and could not do it alone with no vehicle. They had to drop me until I pay my financial aid in order for me to re-enroll. NEED IMMEDIATE HELP. PLEASE ANY AMOUNT WILL HELP!

Hi, your email is very poorly written so we are not 100% what you are working for. But we think you are in AZ. If so, then use this for information on
Arizona homeless prevention and rehousing programs.
They may not only help with housing but also getting your kids settled into school. So those AZ rehousing programs may be best for you.

My husband and I live New Orleans LA in a home with 6 children in it. We both are teachers. My husband is a football coach at the high school and I am a substitute teacher. We are facing eviction from our landlord and our utilities are about to expire because we are not paid through the summer time. We have no money. Of the 6 children two of them are under 5. Please help us. We are 1 1/2 month behind in our rent and our lights will be out by Thursday. Please contact me if you can help. I can't cry anymore if fear of my babies being out on the street.

If your finance was just put into jail, what were you planning to do to pay the rent before he was jailed? Were you going to need temporary help even before the arrest? As something does not add up here. How about the cash to pay your rent aht the finance must have had....use that for this month. In addition to that, there are other places to turn to for money to pay rent.

$700 for rent for my two sons and I. My fiancé was taken to jail this morning and I didn’t work, only him. I took care of the boys. Desperately need one time assistance on my rent for August so I can focus my time looking for a job instead of finding a shelter & storage. Please help me. I know there has to be someone out there that has a heart for someone in my shoes.

Hello, I live in Florida. I'm contacting you because I am facing eviction and am in need of help paying my back rent, due to a job layoff I fell behind and me and my 3 children will be evicted if I can't pay what's owed. I've reached out to our local housing authority in Ocala where I live and they don't have any funding, I’ve also tried brother’s keepers here in Ocala, and they aren't willing to assist me. Please help me if there is anything that can be done.

I'm in need of short term rental assistance. I have a job and I'm a heavy equipment operator but due to the rain we can't work very well in rain, I have had side jobs, I just finished one last week but I'm still waiting on home owner to pay their bill. But my rent is due on the third and after that I get eviction notice, plus they charge me an extra three hundred dollars.
I can't afford my rent right now. Can you please help me on a temporary basis before they charge me an outrageous amount of late fees. Please right now my rent is $580.00, and after the third I'll have to pay almost 1000.00. Please help me.

Yes, the advice is gofundme doesn't work. Try the traditional programs for rent help in Ramsey County. There are many agencies to try. They do try to prevent evictions for those deserving people, and offer grants, counseling, etc. The information on St. Paul Minnesota rental assistance is here. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... count.html

Sorry to hear about the wife. If you have a plan in place, did you talk to your landlord? Hopefully he/she would work with you on a payment plan. If that is not an option, then some Boise agencies may try to mediate a solution. Other options include financial aid for cancer patients or try to call upon a Boise program for rent assistance.

[Kimmy mommy]

Hi, I'm from Minnesota. Me and my two daughters are threatened with eviction, and are struggling to prevent this. Is there anything anyone can do to help?
We have setup a "gofundme" webpage, if you or anyone you know can do anything at all to help please do share this on FB.
Additionally any and all advice is welcome.
Thank you so much.

My special needs son and I have been forced into a homeless situation and need any help possible with the cost of moving into a new rental as we are currently sleeping in our car and have no family in the state to ask for possible help. We live on a limited income off SSI benefits and saving to move into a new place will take months and is not an option with a 2 year old special needs baby. Please help us as anything will help.

We need help paying our rent this month. My husband and I are usually able to pay our rent, but got behind this month due to me having surgery last month. We are now faced with eviction charges as well as court fees along with our rent amount. The landlord said we must pay $1445 by July 25th or be forced to move. Please help with anything. We will not have that much money by then. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

We live in Boise, Idaho and have been here for 4 years. We have three children. I, work in a restaurant as a server making $3.35 hr plus tips, and my wife, is an L.P.N. as has excelled in home health services for ten years. Recently in August of 2014, she was let go from her job due to the agency unable to pay employees for lack of funding for this year. My wife had previously beaten cancer, through surgery, and just been diagnosed with cancer of her kidneys, and is requiring immediate emergency procedures, to rid the cancer that has reemerged. We have fallen behind in rent and some utilities bills.

We did receive an eviction notice, and with only my income can barely afford gas to my job. We are extremely stressed, and fear being tossed out of our home with our children. We do have a plan in place, with a job for my wife waiting for her to employ as soon as her medical procedure is done, and is aware of her ailment. We owe $700 for rent immediately, and are asking for some help with extra assistance with gas and some bills to get back on our feet. This is an emergency only for next couple of weeks. Please respond as soon as possible, to let us know of any assistance or information you could help us with. Thank you for your time, and hope to hear from you from you soon. God bless.
