Unemployment not enough for bills

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

Is the state Texas? Why not move to a state in which you do have family?
So I think your first need is food. No matter whether you can or can't pay the rent or credit card debts, you need food first. Here is a listing of Texas food banks and pantries.
There are places like the Houston Food Bank which works with local pantries and soup kitchens to provide free food. Phone 713-223-3700.
Also try calling the Tarrant Area food bank. 817-332-917

I have no income lost my job due to owner doing a breech of contract on me, and am collecting unemployment. I just moved to this state no family or means. I have no money and need help until I am able to get on my feet again, I have never used this type or any type of service such as this. I am currently with nothing I am looking for any help I can get for utilities, rent, and other expenses as I have recently applied for food stamps I do not know if I will get them yet. Thank you for your help. I am 50 yrs old and live alone, so no other income or family member to rely on for my bills.

I agree that $400 month is not enough to pay rent or bills. You definitely need to increase that income level. In the meantime here is a listing of agencies and non-profits in the Philly area that may have services for you. Places like the Urban League of Philadelphia may even offer job training or career counseling, resume review services, and aid like that. Call them at (215) 985-3220, and use this link for more information and assistance programs.

Just need to keep calling employment agencies, networking, and send in applications. Eventually something will work out. In the meantime try maybe some work from home opportunities and jobs, and information on programs and resources is here.

My daughter is out of work, can not find a job, is 53, she will get her last unemployment check this week. She has been buying her home for over 12 years, but since her job went overseas or some where she can't find work. She needs help and money. The bills are adding up. What to do when unemployment runs out. Where shall she turn?

sorry, so you are in Des Moines Iowa? Polk county? If so, here is a listing of government agencies, non-profits, community action agencies and other groups. some places can help with those housing and mortgage problems you are having, and other can provide general aid.
Try the Red Rock Area Community Action Program Inc. call (515) 961-6271. they offer numerous low income and unemployment assistance programs. they may have job finding programs too.
Catholic Charities (515-282-1235) is always a good option as well for information.

To whom it may concern:

I am unemployed and have absolutely no income at the moment. Where can I go and/or who might I be able to get in contact with to see if I might qualify for any assistance?

I was first laid-off from my job in February of 2009. I found some work in May of '09 only to be laid-off again in July of '09. After being unable to find work and living off of unemployment benefits, I filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in March of 2010. In September of 2010 I surrendered my Des Moines, Iowa home back to the mortgage lender through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. From there I moved in with my folks up in Perry, Iowa for a couple of months. A week before I started a new job in November 2010, I moved into a one (1) bedroom apartment in Granger, Iowa. Unfortunately, the new job was not working out for me and I ended up having to move on after only two weeks...so now here I am.

Best wishes to you all for a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New year...

Sincerely,
