Baltimore City and in need of rent assistance please

[KristenK]

Hi. My name is Erin. I am writing this email to ask for help with my rent next month. I am a single mother of two special needs children living in the city of Baltimore (and not the county). Also a victim of domestic violence. I have suffered 2 concussions from this and was diagnosed with PTSD. I have inquired about getting help with my rent through family and other organizations in Baltimore but they were not able to help me. If you could, it would be a blessing. Thank you for taking time to read this.

Hi,
If you get rent help for this month, to your point you need to always get assistance for the next ~400 days (~12 months). What is your plan to get housing for then? As no charity, not in Baltimore or anywhere, will pay the rent for 2 months. Anyhow, sorry to read about your medical issues and here are some places you can try for temporary rent help in Baltimore City.

I had emergency spinal surgery on June 4, 2024. At this time I have no disability income. I applied for disability but it takes up to 400 days to get a response. At this time I would need help paying my rent for about 6 to 8 months. I receive SSI retirement, but it's not enough to pay my rent. I'm trying to get help before I get behind on my rent. I am totally disabled and cannot work being I had spinal surgery. I live in Baltimore City. I just got approved for my place and unfortunately I had emergency surgery. I would like to receive information on places that can help me with my rent.
