California rental programs

What does the initial cost involve. Will the landlord work with you and maybe spread out a deposit over time. Some will do this as they do not want a vacate home and they lose money when it is vacant. If it is money you need for security deposit (if that is what you mean by initial cost) then use this resource for Fallbrook and San Diego rent assistance programs and opportunities. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/san ... ce_pr.html Many agencies operate in the county, such as Brother Benno Foundation as well as the San Diego Housing Commission.

Hello
My family and I have been homeless for 2 weeks. We were put up in a motel by a local church and my husband actually got a job there. With his daily labor, we have been able to have a room for 2 weeks. However, his labor is only enough to pay for the hotel room. I find myself in a viscous cycle! We have found a home to rent, but can not find the monies to gather for the initial cost. We have a 4 yr old child, 2 year old, and a newborn, all boys who deserve a HOME and a bright future. The hotel room for 2 weeks is $800.00. Just about the same for a month at the place we seek. PLEASE. If you can help my family into this new place and OUT of the hotel, we would have a chance for a new beginning. We are in Fallbrook CA and looking for ALL Rental Assistance organizations that may help. I look forward to your reply. PLEASE call if possible. Thank you in advance,

ell you may find help with both needs. For If worried about next meal in San Diego, then look into local food pantries or banks. As far as the rent, security deposits, or housing, find information on San Diego rental assistance programs and agencies. There are options and programs like the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (phone (858) 694-4801) and/or the San Diego Housing Commission. Both offer low income housing, emergency aid, homeless prevention resources, and much more.

I lost my job and I was trying to get back in school. I am need of assistance to pay my rent. I am trying to make ends meet, but I haven't been able to. I am looking for another job right now. I have rent that is due on the first of each month. I do not want to be put out, I have no where to go. Being on my own is very hard. I get depressed at times, not knowing where my next meal is coming from, but if I can keep a roof over mt head then I will be okay. My unemployment has run out, and now our manager decided to make up leave. They want to upgrade and increase the rent. We only have hubby's disability monthly payments of $630 and some savings. We have to move by December 31st. But we don't have enough proof of income. We are waiting to apply for SSI, but that will take some time. We live in San Diego, CA

Sounds like you need housing in San Diego too, and that will free up money for those other bills and your car payment too. Here is how to get rent help in San Diego. We have a number of agencies and programs that are in play, such as Housing Authority of the County of San Diego and other agency called South Bay Community Services (619) 420-3620. Most can offer some form of grants or funds for short term financial relief.

I lost my job in July,2011. I am $700.00 in arrears in my rent, plus $300.00 more is due on Oct.1,2011. My electric has a shut off notice, as of today. I should be getting a shut off notice for my water bill any day, now from water Company in San Diego. My cable was shut off weeks ago, and My car will be repossessed sometime, today or later. I was just wondering if your organization, can help me, at all or know who can in San Diego area. I have applied for SSI and Disability. I was only able to get one of my medications, this month, also. Thank you, in advance for any help you can provide.

Our rent is coming up due next week and we don't have it. My husband works full time. I've been unemployed for 6 months and not receiving any unemployment benefits. this is the first month we didn't even have money for food. We have tried food banks, pantries, churches, you name it, and no help. We gave the last $20 we had for food to a food bank that gave us tons of stuff, but it was more than expired and we had to throw away more than half of it. I've applied for cash aid and denied. Food stamps, and denied because my husbands gross wages were $80 above the maximum amount. We have both worked all our lives and have hit a bump in the road and can't even get a little help from the programs that our hard working dollars are supporting! It blows my mind. I've scoured the internet looking for a place to help us out just for one month of our rent and utilities. the one car we have is about to be reposessed. In one swift swoop, we will be homeless and carless. we have 3 children that we are desperately trying to protect from seeing or feeling any of this, but it's now uncontrollable. Is there any real programs out there to help us??

Need help paying rent in California. Please send me money or help, as my rent is due in weeks.

California offers assistance paying rent. You can get help in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and basically all cities in CA.

This program gives a payment from the State of California to qualified individuals based on part of the property taxes that they paid indirectly when they paid their rent. The maximum amount of grants and assistance provided that a claimant may receive is 139 percent of $250.00, the statutory property tax equivalent (139% x $250.00), which is $347.50.

There are some conditions to getting the help
