311 Could not Help- I need help with rent now!!

Post by ada19 »

My brother and I live in a 2 bedroom apt in Hyde Park. Because I have been the only one working paying bills has been stressful and difficult. I don't even make my rent in a month of working! On top of that I have other bills. Now my brother and I are facing eviction, and I called all over the city of Chicago for help. Every time I was told to call 311, but because I do not make more than my rent in a month, and my brother is not working, I do not qualify for assistance. He's been looking for a job everywhere but the economy is horrible. Please. If we do not have the money by Friday we'll be evicted! My parents are broke and cannot help us. No one can help us? Why? If anything we really need the help. I can't even afford food right now.

The city of Chicago runs some programs that can provide rent and utility help. Find phone numbers and addresses for Chicago government rent help. The locations to call are known as Community Service Centers, and they are located throughout the city. While you will need to apply and be found qualified, they may be an option for you.
