Where to get rent assistance in Los Angeles?

[Adamakin]

My son and I are both disabled living in a rental home in Los Angeles. We are struggling with the increase of bills and expense of food and trying to pay rent.
Recently my SSI cut my disabled son's benefits by 333.00$. I am seeking assistance with rent as it is 895.00 per month which takes up my monthly income and SSI is paying my disabled son 455.00 but not paying the difference with SSI benefits he should be receiving. I am seeking rental, utility and food assistance.
Rental assistance would really help us get by. If anyone can get us started so we don't go homeless like so many others in LA it would greatly be appreciated. I live in California and don't have any assistant contacts. If any applications are available. It would be the beginning of getting our lives situated. I need surgery for a slipped disc. I am unable to walk. My son has crohns and I.B.S so we are really in need of financial assistance. Thank you.......

Hi Jasmine,
We have the link to our programs listed on our website, which is here. We cover both the county, city and that 90035 zip code too.
https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... tance.html
But since you are very specific in the zip code, the United Way 211 may be a good option for you as well. As they sometimes have very targeted programs for a certain street in LA county, and that info is here. https://211la.org/resources/subcategory/housing

Hi Victoria,
As far as getting an affordable place in LA, as you know (probably better than us) that is easier said then done. But we do have information on place that may help you with your rent. Also since you are a survivor of abuse, try services for survivors. As far as the LA County rent assistance programs, try these for resources. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... tance.html

Hello,
My name is Victoria and I am currently experiencing homelessness after an abusive relationship. I am struggling to find an affordable place to live in Los Angeles and rental assistance or emergency cash assistance. I called 211 looking for emergency hotel vouchers as well. Please help me get started any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I am extremely grateful for your assistance. Please let me know if you have any direct links to where I can get help or financial assistance today. I live in Los Angeles and I have no kids. I have a college degree including a master's. My father was in the Navy but he recently passed away this last year.
Please respond directly to this email. Once again thank you for your help. I am in a very unfortunate situation and I need help getting on my feet again.

There is no way you can get rent assistance if it is due at 5pm. You are starting the process way too late. Also sending bad check sure will not help your case. It is destroying your credit, giving the courts more reason to side with the landlord, etc. But hey, you can try to apply to rent help in Los Angeles from charities or government offices. The most they can say is no.

wrote him a check for $800 to try to buy time the check came back and now he is more upset, so please I need help.

I am behind on my rent for the month of November. I had medical issues as well as being laid off my job after 8 years of working there in down town Los Angeles. I'm 60 years old with progressive rheumatoid arthritis in both hands and rhynaurds disease in both feet.
I have applied for unemployment, food stamps all available but my rent is due today at 5. I keep telling him I'm working on it. I wrote him a check for $800 to try to buy time the check came back and now he is more upset, so please I need help.

My husband was the household provider for my family, he has been held now for eight months in the immigration detention center in Los Angeles. I have been doing whatever I can to support my three children and myself since. All I ask is for some help with my rent please!! I am behind on three months. I've went to ask for some help from our cities Human Resources office and Catholic Charities and they said there out of funds. I truly need the help. So if you can please contact me, I will truly appreciate it. Thank you.

My job got very slow a few months ago & I got behind in rent a few months. I also lost the job. I have a wife & 3 children & we may be facing eviction. We are worried as I m still looking for work. We live in East Los Angeles. Please help us avoid eviction as we have nowhere to go and are about to be served a notice. Thanks.
