Rent needed for sober house

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

Hi Angela and others,
We are not sure at all about Sober House rent assistance. Generally they do not charge "high" rent. Or they waive the cost if the person cleans the home, volunteers, or in general "gives back". So we are kid of surprised by that question and request. Either way, look here for details on local rental assistance. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... r_you.html
Of course there is also government aid, including from HUD. Maybe look for a place that is part of the Recovery Housing Program (RHP)? As that may be a form of rent help for a sober home. https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/rhp/

Good afternoon,
My name is Angela and I'm reaching out because I am having trouble getting the funds to get my license back so I can get a job to pay the rent on a sober house. I currently have a outstanding bill for excise taxes that I'm am having trouble getting together to pay off before I can get my license back. I had heard in passing by friends that you may have some services that might be able to help me.
I am currently living in sober living and I'm on a very tight income. I am in recovery and am trying so hard to continue on my path to improve my life. I am also working in a sober house and it's starting to get very cold to be walking back and forth. I truly have a desire to help others and not having transportation is making it very difficult to do that so I can pay the rent. If there are any services that could help me or you could please point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I will leave all my contact information at the end of this email and I will be so grateful for any kind of assistance you could send my way thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

I need to find a safe room for me. I am a disabled 43 year old on SSDI. I can ill-afford first month and security and need help, am in a sober house at the moment my former companion of 14 years found for me as I just moved back here from Las Vegas.

I get paid around $900/month on the third of each month. This Sober House didn’t tell her of the fee's involved and now I owe a weeks rent because of a process fee. They have not had heat here for 5 days and the hot water is sporadic at best. They have had 2 years to install a fire-sprinkler system and haven’t done so and they only have until Dec. 31 to do so. Am afraid we will all be evicted and this place shut down. I have never lived on the street! Am very afraid, please, any help would be appreciated! God Bless.
