Veteran assistance programs - where to get it?

[Chevy]

I am a Veteran in desperate need of financial assistance. I am medically retired with a % 50 rating. I am a full time student receiving the BAH stipend that ended this month until school starts back in Fall 2012, but until then I need help with rent and other bills. I receive $797 from the VA, $178 from DOD , and $584 from unemployment. But its not enough to cover all my bills for 5 months! Thanks in advance for anything you can do.

While we don't specifically have that county listed, we do have information on a wide range of other Michigan financial and emergency assistance programs. Many can help veterans too, and are run at both the state and local counties. Ask about weatherization. And if you do not own your own home, then talk directly with your landlord. Maybe they can sign up on your behalf too.

Hello
I'm a veteran who is disabled and on SSI. The 674 dollars a month I receive will not allow me to cover the cost of repairing my furnace. I contacted DHS in Benzie Country Michigan. I was told that the SER / Home repairs for unsafe or non-working furnaces was only for those who own their own homes and not for those who are renting. Is there anywhere I can get any help to repair the furnace (outside of the landlord). Thank you for any help you can provide.

son. He has kidney failure, heart failure, and COPD. He is receiving disability and this is his only source of income. They are living in a mobile home in Arnold, MO. Their furnace needs repair and they are trying to keep warm by using the oven on the stove. He cannot afford to have the furnace repaired. I am hoping you can help.I know you help low income people in this area. My brother does not have a computer.
