We are in a Red Roof Inn. Anyone help pay for it?

The main NHPB site has more information on local rent assistance programs.

Re: We are in a Red Roof Inn. Anyone help pay for it?

Post by IsabellaTaylor »

My family and I have been living in a Red Roof Inn for 3 years. At the hotel, we pay $240 every two weeks. My husband lost his job, and now we can’t pay the rent. I have two children. I’ve been trying to find some help, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any.
I’m really struggling. My older son has mental health problems. I tried to apply for SSI for him, but his case has been denied three times. I don’t have money to hire a lawyer to help with this situation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are living in Kissimmee, Florida. Please, any help at all would mean so much. Thank you.

Hi Karyn
So you need a room at the red roof for all you - even the pug? Sometimes the Salvation Army, which there is one in Kissimmee, may help. Those details are here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... tance.html
Also try that police department - sometimes they know about homeless programs.

We are presently living at Red Roof In Kissimmee, FL. We recently rented a house in Davenport, FL, we paid the rent and the fees, and we moved in. We were so excited. Then the next day a security guard knocked on our door and asked who we were and why we were there. We told him who we were and explained that we were renting the house from the realtor. He said we couldn't be. He said he works for the company that owns the house. They do not rent the houses here. We fell for a scam and also need to go back to the Red Roof.
He called the police and seven or eight police officers came to the house, they were all very nice. We filed a police report, and we had to take all our belongings outside and we had to sit outside with them. We lost all our money and had to sit on the lawn with our things. We didn't know what to do. We have a close friend that was able to pay an Uber to take us to Orlando because he thought we would be able to get more help there. He paid for our motel room. Then he got sick an couldn't help us anymore, We stayed in Orlando until I got my social security and then we came to Motel 6 in Kissimmee. We are presently staying at Red Roof again, but we need help. Can you please help pay for one or more days for our motel room. We would be ever so grateful.
