Out of work and need rent help

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

You can look into a program created from stimulus funds, known as rapid rehousing, which can provide money to pay first month(s) rent, moving expenses, and security deposits. One of the goals is to get homeless people into a new home or apartment, and to keep them there.

I recently had to leave my place of residence without any notice. I am on my own, not even knowing where I am going to sleep tonight. I have a job but apartments are too expensive on my own. I need to know if I have any options qualifying me for any type of lower rate. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Out of work two years? this may qualify you for section 8 housing aid and programs. While some do have waiting lists, they target those renters who are under extreme financial distress, and two years without work may do it. Dozens of agencies operate in every state, so select your state here. Not sure if can help with garnishment of wages or not, but ask the Section 8 housing counselor when you call them.

Im not sure on where to go to get help with our rent. My husband was out of work for two years and we got behind on the rent during that time. He is back to work now but not able to get it caught up. My checks are being garnished for the bills that were not able to be paid. We were recently told that if we do not get the rent caught up we might be evicted. Please help me to find someone that might be able to help.
