Need of a security deposit

[Moses]

I had been accepted for the LINC program which had expired on 2/10/18. I would like to know if there's anyway that I can get an extension on my security deposit voucher because I finally found something and the landlord is willing to accept the program if I am able to get another updated voucher. My daughter and I are currently staying in a friend's basement until our place is ready. We are in Jamaica, NY 11423. I hope we can still get the voucher even though we're not residing at the Belt/Park Family Inn.

If you need both rent and deposit help, then try the rental assistance programs near you that are on the site. But if you can't afford the apartment, then you may want to look into a different unit and/or another place for a home.

I need help with my deposit to move in my new apartment. I got some amount but it doesn’t cover the amount they need me to put down and I really need help with my apartment.

There are some grant programs. They can help with housing needs. Usually ESG is a main grant in New York City.
Try calling the United Way or Catholic Charities there, as both offer assistance programs for apartments in the region.

I've been served eviction notice currently because I have not received my tax return and the voucher from it to take care of the first, last and security deposit of the place that I am in with my wife and three daughters. Currently I walk to a job locally but the landlord is unwilling to work out a rental Arrangement until said funds are sent to me. We have nowhere to go when the sheriff comes by to save the 24 hour. If there's anyone that gets his message they can please help me and my family pay this landlord, I will be extremely indebted to you for a voucher and will pay back any funds as soon as a tax return was received or a payment plan is set in place. Please call me.

I'm currently looking for assistance with my deposit. I just got approved for my section 8 and don't have enough income to cover my deposit. Is there any other programs that could help me? I'm a family of 4 and receive cal-works and child support with a total income of $982 a month. Please let me know what my options are. Thank you.

I just got my own apartment and in the process of moving in I lost my job. I just started a new job but I don't make nearly as much and my landlord is already helping me make payment on the rest of the deposit as well as first months rent. I just am not making enough right now just starting this new job, Help is appreciated.

Your comment is 100% racist and wrong. We will not help anyone with that attitude...have a good life.

I NEED HELP WITH A DEPOSIT FOR 300.00 TO RENT AN APARTMENT FOR ME AND MY TWO CHILDREN. I LIVE IN PINAL COUNTY HOUSING BUT I AM BEING PUSHED OUT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO RENT TO BLACKS AND MEXICANS ONLY, AND I AM WHITE.

I need help with a security deposit as I have been homeless for 3 years and am going to start receiving monthly help for rent and have found an apartment to move into using my voucher, but I cannot move until I have security and 1st months’ rent. And I do not or will not be able to come up with security on my own as I am raising my 2 granddaughters and also have 1 child still home with me who just turned 17.
I can move in right away pending the security deposit. I would like help with that if you all do that or if you know where I can go to get help, Thank you.

If you need all of that support, then look into rent help. Some non-profits as well as the government offers all of those services to potential leases. But we doubt you can get enough money to cover all of the expenses. You will need to raise some of it on your own.

Hello , I have 3 children and I would like to know If you can help me with rent and security because I was evicted. I can't afford what the landlord was asking for. I found a place but I need a little help until welfare and TRA is approved. I would really appreciate the help. Please understand I don't want to be in the street with my children. Thank you and God bless.

Need financial help with funds to rent a place to live which is first, last & deposit...I am facing being homeless as of December 1, 2016 unless I can receive help with these costs. I am desperate for help & tried all I can do to do this in my own, hate asking for help.
I work as a in home care taker & some Hospice as my employment...I would appreciate any help I can get so I am not facing homelessness...thank you for your time.

I recently lost one of my jobs. The main income of my household. I have an eight year old son. I have been trying to manage and hold it together. This month has gotten hard. My rent was due on the first. I tried to pay part of it but the office manager says all or nothing. Everyday it’s late is an extra $10. I'm lost. I need help yet at every turn is another let down. Where do I go? Who can help?

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

We have information on place to turn to in Oklahoma. There are tens of agencies. It sounds like you need a homeless prevention program, which will help you move. As part of this, there is security deposit assistance in Oklahoma. then, after you get established into an affordable apartment, you can enroll into their case management services. So try that approach.

Some of the security deposit and rent programs in Jersey City may help here. But as you said, you will need a job. What is the recovery period for the back surgery? Maybe live with family until you recover and get work. As that will help you in your quest for security deposit assistance.

Me and my fiancée are expecting a baby boy in August. We signed up for an apartment. We are supposed to move in the first week of April but I got hurt at work and was told I will most likely need back surgery.
He is the only one working at the moment due to my injury. We just don't have the money to move in now or pay the utility deposits and I'm in fear of us being homeless if we can't come up with the money because the family of ours we are staying with is putting us out regardless if we have a place to stay or not.

[Skylert]

I am recently divorced from an abusive marriage of 23 years and am seeking a government grant. It is the first time on my own and I have to pay a security deposit to move then turn around and pay rent 2 weeks later. The apartment complex I am moving in is going to require $695 for deposit plus prorate the security deposit so I should not need a grant more than $900 to move in then I will be responsible for rent in July.
I would really appreciate the help. This will help me with a new start for myself and it is supposed to be ready by the third week in March. Thank you.

I need help paying rent. I am currently living in a motel turned apartments and have been unemployed since April. I had two jobs that I could have started but ended up in the hospital for 5 days and the jobs were given to others. I have no source of income at this time. My husband is not working either and we have been taking in scrap to have food and gas. Please contact me because my property manager will be changing the door code if we do not pay by Sunday at this point. I do not see how this will happen. Our rent includes everything.... water, power, TV and is furnished. I am not sure where to turn and worry has turned in to panic.
