Anyone help pay storage costs in California?

[Alyssia]

Hello, I am in Los Angeles and I need assistance paying for arrears on my storage unit. Please. I have less than 24 hours before my personal items are sold in an auction.  I haven't been able to find work but in line for housing. I need to keep my items for my use when I move into my place. Thank you.

I'm looking for some rental assistance for my storage unit. I live in northern California. I'm currently going through a hardship. My boyfriend started his new job last week and we don't get paid for 2 more weeks. I've managed to get all but $200 for our first months rent and am struggling to find the balance and current months rent. I owe $950 as of today. Plus $250 for storage, which has been locked by the owner. I'm looking for some immediate local resources.

Hi there,
I literally just got housed this month in Los Angeles after being homeless and living in my car for almost a year, and I think/hope/pray I might have figured out a solution to get movers. However, my latest problem is trying to get my storage units paid for today so my stuff doesn't go to auction.
Do you know any churches or organizations that might be able to help me in California or LA County? Tammy

Hi Tammy
There are a couple programs and options for you. As far as your "statewide" question, try CalWorks homeless prevention. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... nce_r.html

For local places in LA County that may help with storage, try this for resources. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... tance.html

Do you know any churches or organizations that might be able to help me in California or LA County? I have reached out to everyone on every list and even 211 said that they were baffled because they were always able to help people with at least 1 referral but could find nothing for me whatsoever.
Most charities or churches I called said they don't help with storage unit bills and the one I found that does help with storage unit bills (St. Vincent de Paul) said they are all out of money. Ironically I can't even get through to Catholic Charities (I've been trying for almost 2 weeks now) and I'm Catholic! I even called my old church in Northglenn, and no one has called or emailed me back.
I need to sell quite a bit of stuff that is in them which will be incredibly helpful for getting caught up on bills, but I need help getting to the actual items in the storage unit. I am currently locked out of my storage units until they receive payment.
I feel like I can't win. My entire life here from my time in California is in those units and I will be completely beyond devastated if my units go up for auction.
Please, please, please let me know if you can help me today.
Thank you,
Tammy
