For example, he may want to try the Greater East Texas Community Action Program (GETCAP) at (903) 758-5674. This agency offers numerous rent programs, assistance, counseling, and other forms of aid to low income people and those who need help.

Hi,

Will u please provide me with specific programs that can help me pay my rent?

Im not doing well financially and my boss just informed me that she is letting me go. I dont have any savings at all. Im scared out of my mind, with only one concern: how will i pay my rent?

I live in Jersey City, New Jersey and I cannot find all information on how i can help myself until I came across this website.

I clicked on the housing vouchers section on your website but it did not lead to any other information. My city does not take any more application for section 8 since 2000. So my option seems to be the vouchers.

Please please provide me with the steps i need to start this process immediately.

Im desperately in need of help as I have no money to pay next month's rent.

Thank you and i hope to hear from u soon,

If you just lost your job definitely apply for unemployment. Not much you can do about a cable expense. No one will provide help to pay a TV bill. As far as rent, housing, and utility bills you do have several programs in Hampton and Virginia Beach area. This resource lists many of them http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... _prog.html
For example, places like the Virginia Beach and Suffolk Salvation Army as well as the Food Bank of Southeastern Virginia may have aid for you. The phone numbers and contact information can be obtained at the link above.

Here is a resource that will direct you to resources to get utility bill help in Oregon. Just keep contacting agencies. In particular, look for the LIHEAP crisis program. That is usually effective. http://www.hud.gov/local/or/renting/energyprgms.cfm

Regarding COBRA, the fed government stimulus program offers assistance. Did you explore that option?
