Emergency Rental Help

[Carlos]

Good morning. I am just wondering why do you have to have an eviction notice before you can get any emergency assistance for the rent. I am not behind yet, but it has been a struggle to come up with the money to pay my rent. It's only by the grace of God that I have been able to pay my rent this far. I am trying to avoid getting an eviction notice, but I am still in need of help. I just wish there was a program for people like me. I am trying to come up with the money for August rent. I have only been able to get $440.00 so far. My rent is $1143 a month. My husband lost his income and is waiting for his disability to be approved and you know how social security is. Anyway if you know of anyone who can help me out with emergency rental payment assistance please let me know. Thank you for your time.

Need emergency rental assistance to pay the balance of my July 15, and August 15 rent. I have a court date 5 August, and all rent must be paid in full or I will be asked to vacate apartment. Where can I get some help.
I am a 60 year old single woman with diabetes, what type of assistance is immediately available for me, who should I contact and where should I go. Please assist.

Try the Buck County and Philly housing programs. So we have extensive information on who to contact in an emergency. If you are working, and you say you can afford the rent, then start saving money for that deposit you need. If you just take a little money each month and put it in the bank, then before you know it you will have the money you need. Also, find rent help in Bucks County, as we have numerous options listed.

I'm not sure if you could help me but maybe you could send my information on someone who could. I live in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and I work in Bensalem Pennsylvania. I am a full time working mother of two. I am in a very abusive relationship and I fear for myself and my children. My ex lives with us and is on the lease so it's almost impossible to get him to leave and I can not afford to move. I am looking for housing assistance in Bensalem PA to be closer to work as well as my children's school.

Like I've mentioned I do work and have been at my place of business for 5 years so I could afford to pay monthly rent depending on how expensive. I only really need help with finding a home for myself and my two daughters and with the security deposit. I am a little embarrassed to be asking for help but I don't know what else to do. Please if you can help or maybe point me in the direction of someone who can email me back. I appreciate your time. Thank you.

I paid 250 for June rent, and I contacted my landlord and told her my financial situation this month and told her I would have the other 450 by Friday. She agreed I could pay it by then, then she called me and said I have until Friday to move, I have nowhere to go and I have a 1 year old. it'scold, and times are hard. She’s giving us until Friday to move or get the rest and I really need help getting the money because I go to school full time and its hard with a baby and no baby sitter.

I live in Conway, Arkansas and I've been looking for help. I don't have a vehicle and my only income is a work study on campus. I’ve been trying to find another job. I have a past due balance for my rent. I don't know where to turn for help. I received my second late notice on the 17th of this month. Tomorrow I think I'm going to be getting evicted or going through the process. I live in the local apartments and my rent is now over $400. Please help.

I will be receiving and eviction notice from my Landlord today. My husband first had his hours at work cut down to only 15/week, then he missed two weeks work after having emergency surgery. This left us unable to pay rent this month. We do not have children, however, I am disabled and my husband has medical equipment. Can someone please guide me as to where I can receive a "one-time" rental assistance? My husband started a better job this week so this will be a one time need only. Please email me with any information you have that can help me. Thank You!!

Only I have an income which is through unemployment and it is not enough for bills I owe such a electric, rent, cable, and water... rent is the one I'm having the most difficult paying. Is there ANY way I can get assistance with paying my rent which is due march 1st and I can't afford it as I don't even make enough to pay my bills

I live in Louisville KY. My zip code area is 40211. I need help on my rent. I have tried a neighborhood place close by and they told me that I couldn't get help on rent until June. I've been trying to call places to get help but I need help on finding a for sure place. Everywhere I've called they either no longer helps with rent. Or can’t help because I’m not within their zip code area. Or any reasons. Please I really need help. I lost my job early last month. I no longer have a job right now but I’m still looking for a job. Please contact me by email.

Hello I’m writing today because I need help! I am being evicted Wednesday unless I can come up with the past due amount I owe! I am a single father of three kids. My girlfriend lost her job a year ago and I’ve been struggling ever since. I am a student but I can’t even finish classes right now because I need to work and my job has cut back hours! I just need to insure that my kids will have a roof over their heads and be safe!!! If anybody out there can help by Wednesday please......it would be greatly appreciated!

Can you get some other cheaper help than the $361 for in home care. That is expensive. How about government Medicaid or something? Anyway, while you look into cheaper alternatives, find more rent assistance in Memphis and the agencies to call. Keep calling around to other local resources and non-profits. That is key.

I am a disabled person living in my home and paying rent. My rent recently was increased and I live on a fixed income through SSDI. I also now have to pay a client obligation for my in home care services that is $361 a month in order to keep those services and I am in a wheelchair. Now my rent is late and I am facing eviction. This is the first time this has happened to me where I couldn't pay my rent and need help. I am very scared and dont know what to do. I have had my PCA check on local resources but no funds available at this time. Please Help. This was typed by my PCA because I am paralyzed on my left side and can't type.

We do have information on programs specific to Columbus and how they offer emergency rent help. And if you have 3 kids you may be in line for priority funding, as most agencies do focus on families with children first. One of the leading non-profits is Columbus Urban League Housing Services Department, and a case manger can be contacted at (614) 257-6300, ext. 300.

I am a mother of 3 plus an additional stepson with a newborn on the way and live in Columbus Ohio. I have lived at the same residence for 2 plus years always paid rent on time which is $1,200 a month. About 5 months ago I lost my job of 13 years they closed there doors out of the blue no warning no severance. I have been unable to find work and my husband is the only one working now his check was being garnished for $530 biweekly for child support but it was based on an old order from 1999 when finances were different. After garnishments he was taking home $350-to $450 biweekly hardly enough to cover anything. In that time we have fallen $4300 behind on rent and are on the verge of losing our place he was finally able to get support reduced to $200 biweekly and just as he got it adjusted we got full custody of his son because his ex was involved with drugs. now the money is still being deducted even though we have all the papers until we have another hearing to modify which isnt until January 25th now we have another mouth to feed and times are tough im pregnant unable to work we have taken on another child in order to save him from that environment with his mom and altogether were going to have five children as of February sometime end of the month we desperately need some help were in dire need of help we have always paid our bills never asked for help but we truly are desperate.

Tulare is in California, right? If so there may be some one time rental assistance and grant programs.
Try places and agencies like Open Gate Ministries at (559) 591-1241 and the local community action agency, which is Community Services and Employment Training (C-SET). (559) 732-4194. Both definitely have housing and rent programs, and information on financial aid programs.
