No money for our emergency housing

[KevinR]

Hello,
I'm sure that you are extremely busy so I've attached a summary formally requesting money as well as a more in depth letter about what the housing emergency we are going through.
Is there anywhere that will help us pay the first months deposit/rent etc, if we get approved?
An update to add is that, On April12th, our management office called us to let me know that she has sent the forms to the lawyer to begin eviction proceedings. They are filing on May 2nd- or shortly after.
I read online about emergency housing vouchers, and I've written OVER 60 other resources I've found online requesting money.

There are many agencies in Des Moines. While motels are rare, maybe try a shelter. Then an agency may provide more long term housing for people that stay in those Polk County Iowa shelters, so maybe try them. They also have employment programs if you were just laid off, and here are the programs. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... gram2.html

Hello,

I am contacting you because I would like to see if I could get more information about emergency housing in Des Moines, IA. We are looking at losing our house this week and I know it is very late notice so if something isn't available immediately, I understand.
No money in the bank, just recently laid off from work, and have no where to live. Could you please help me contact people in the Des Moines, IA area that would be able to help with vouchers for hotel/motel rooms for the urgent need of a place to sleep?
Thank you for your time,
