Re: Need rent assistance in Illinois
You can also check with the city of Chicago on unsafe housing, as the landlord needs to provide water. Regardless, funds for a security deposit are rare. You are more likely to get help for first months rent. There are a few places to try in the city, and learn more on rental asisistance in Chicago.

Re: Need rent assistance in Illinois
My three children just received an eviction notice yesterday. Unfortunately, I lost my job due to medical issues that that got me admitted into the hospital, but I am doing ok now. Also, with getting County insurance I will be able to get the testing and regular care needed so that I can be the strong mother that I am for my children. We are devastated because we just moved into our new home November 30, 2013 after being homeless and bouncing from house in Chicago IL.
We really don't want to move again nor do we have the means too and we love our new home. I got approved for unemployment insurance so we will be able to make our monthly bills with the help of County assistance (food stamps) and I have a list of job interviews but we need help with October and possibly November's rent.
My electricity was shut off TODAY and I am trying to get help through a Utility Assistance program now. In addition, we have no family or friends really that live in the area or that are willing to help. We have NO MONEY AT ALL Except FOR $7.53 in the Bank. PLEASE HELP US PLEASE AND YOU CAN CONTACT ME DIRECTLY. WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET EVICTED PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP! We will help in any way possible to not only pay back but say thank you and show you our appreciation for helping us out. PLEASE CALL ME. Thank you so much and we look forward to hearing from you soon

Re: Need rent assistance in Illinois
If you have no source of income and are that far behind, then unfortunately there is little that can be done. As you know unemployment will not pay for your entire rent and other living expenses. You may need to start to look for alternate housing. But also talk to a case manager, as maybe they have suggestions for you on Cook county Illinois resources, as there are many that assist with housing needs. Locate resources for rent help in Cook County.
