Way behind on rent

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

Hi all,
Another option to try for local rent assistance is this link. As the various comments here of people being behind cover different states and areas, so try this for local rent help. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... r_you.html

Hello,
I am writing this to you because I need help to pay the rent for past 5 months. My husband hasn't returned back to work since March 1st, 2024. We are way behind on the rent since April. Can't afford to pay the rent at all. Please kindly help us to pay our rent. We will appreciate your help. Thank you!

Hello, I came across your website while searching for assistance in paying my rent. I reside in Jefferson County, MO and seen that the SAFHR program closed in Feb 2023. I am way behind on my bills and 3 months behind in my rent and will be facing eviction soon. I just returned back to work PT
after searching for work for 3 months. I am making only $16.00 an hour and it just does not bring in enough for me to get ahead.
Since I just started my payday will not be until August 20 and by then I will have utilities threatened to be disconnected as way behind on rent and electric. Can you please refer me to any resources that may be available please? I live alone, am 55 years old and widowed.

If you are still having babies, and can't afford them, a charity will look on your application for rent help very skeptically. After all that shows very poor judgement. Now you are bring a baby into a world where you can't even provide housing for him/her, and not to mention schooling, a future, etc. So that will hurt you. But you can still try and apply, and some programs that may help with paying rent are listed here. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... _rent.html

I am in the middle of trying to keep my ex-husband from terminating me completely out of our son’s life for his own benefit. I have done nothing wrong and I don't party/no drugs, and haven't given them any reasoning to do this. But we are way behind on our bills and rent.
I just had a baby in January and I have a 4 year old. My rent is going up come June 1st and I can't afford to make my payment come May first, due to needing to pay my lawyer on this day as well. I need help over the next month or so to get my rent paid, but I don't need to owe anyone something or get into any debt either. Please help pay my rent as it is way behind, I work full time and feed my babies. I just need to catch a break already. Thank you!

The programs operate in our nation's capitol by Wards. So it really depends on where you live and then you call the agencies in that Ward. Find our listing of Washington DC assistance programs, charities, and agencies to call for housing assistance. For example, Community Council for the Homeless, runs the FEMA program, which can offer emergency housing aid (202) 364-1419 and another example is Shaw Community Service Center (phone (202) 462-6401. Emergency rent, utility, and other assistance is offered for Washington DC individuals.

It seems like you need help with multiple items and expenses. I think you want to go to the main site of help with bills and read about the thousands of programs and resources listed there. Find ways to get rent help, debt and foreclosure counseling, free health care, and much more at the main URL.
