Hi Dayton
Since you did not list your general area (state or even county) we are going to send you are main, local rent assistance list. Scroll down, pick your state/county, etc. and those places may help with a deposit or other costs for the section 8 rental you have.

I have a section 8 voucher but I am having trouble coming up with the security deposit to move in to a place to live.
I had a heart attack in August and I am now working again and need help with moving forward. I can afford to pay my rent. Just can't afford the deposit and utilities and rent to get started.
I thank you in advance for any assistance you might be able to give me.

Re: Section 8 not paying security deposit

Post by Garnier »

Good Afternoon,
My name is Charon. I am currently being evicted from my apartment and moving into section 8 but I need money for the security deposit. I am being evicted due to the landlord not wanting to renew my lease. I found an affordable section 8 apartment with the assistance of my housing voucher. However, I am not able to afford the security deposit of $1200.
After calling a number of properties I have come to find out that housing is very limited with hardly any availability. If I am not able to obtain this apartment I will be subject to sleep in my car with my daughter. I am in desperate need of your help. Please contact me or email me at your earliest convivence. Thank you very much!

The homeless HCC program graduated me 12/31/21 and will not further help me with the security deposit on section 8 homes. I injured my back while trying to pack and I need help the community based attendant services I qualified for were cancelled 4 times because they did not have anyone available. I reported it to my dad’s case worker and aps twice in the past 10 days, but they still cannot help
Because of the injury I spent $254 on medical transportation and $250 on apartment application fees and postage trying to find a subsidized apartment.
I have no money to pay the security deposit for section 8 and I will lose the apartment without the $200 payment Saturday Jan 26
I have no way to move my belongings it is dangerous for me to be lifting or attempting to drive I have been told not to do this by the dry
Aps and the dad’s community services worker know this, but they are not helping I have been denied help by salvation army catholic charities multiple other churches charities and assistance programs
At first aps said they would pay the deposit, move fees and first month then the workers supervisor said no with no reason. I was given her servitors phone number, but she will not return my phone call. I called the hotline again. With no return case worker call
I need help. Please reply.

Good Evening, I am writing to ask for funds in the amount of 500.00 to pay a move in security deposit for a section 8 apartment. I have a housing voucher and I have chosen to reside at flats 130. It is a newer building in Old city 2 it is small with access to the gym, swimming etc. Which will help greatly assist in my recovery. I am waiting for word for the date of my second surgery of my left foot. My right got has an arch and walking this easy has caused me more problems such as DDD, SPODILOSIS AND ARTHRITIS. To be able to move will allow me to truly get better which is all I want, and your help for the section 8 deposit would be a life changer for me.

20 year old with a pregnancy and no money and no job. You may want to look into other options, like living with family. As what you are doing is not sustainable. But as far as the rent deposit help in San Jose, you have options. But doubt they will assist without an income or prospects.

While each situation is different, in general the homeless prevention programs in Indiana may offer some security deposit help. But whether it is for a section 8 place or not, you need to ask. As generally that form of support is rare.

I am 5 year disabled and I have moved to Georgia from Louisiana. I have no family there. I have section 8 but because I ported it out to GA I have been without a place to live scene December 12th of 2016 as I need the security deposit money.
My section 8 is still active. I have even for a place but I have no money for the utility’s to be turned on, no money for the renters insurance they require, no money to bring me and my kids belongings out of storage in Shreveport, no money for lodging and I don't have a place to lay my head now. I used my resources for lodging through the bad weather a few weeks ago.
I have been staying in my car at the truck stop for about 10 days now while I wait on section 8. As it stands I may have to stay here till the first when I get my SSI. But I have no food. I need help. All I have is a cell phone. And help you can give me I would greatly appreciate. Thank you and May God bless you?

Hello, I am a single mother of three from northwest Indiana. My children and I are currently without a home and are currently in the process of trying to find a home. However I recently lost my job and am currently unable to come up with a security deposit. I was recently approved for a section 8 voucher and I only have a small amount of time to find a place before I can no longer use my voucher. If you could please send me some info that would help it would be greatly appreciated.

I received a section 8 voucher but I can't afford the security deposit and first month's rent. I have income but not enough to cover my current bills which take up almost all of that, tried getting a loan on my own to make up what I don't have but told no. My family (myself and two daughters) really need to move out from where we live. The duplex has bed bugs and we have lost everything because of that, have been blessed to receive the voucher but can't see saving to move. Please help.

My son and I have been homeless for about 6 months or more after leaving our section 8 apartment. We have been staying in my car, spending nights here and there with friends. I currently work but I am also obligated to pay back student loans from my time at Winston-Salem State University.
I really need assistance with security deposit and first months rent so that I will be able to get ahead some how. If there are some agencies that assist with this need please inform me. I am a single mother of a very handsome and smart 3 year old boy and I really need help regarding housing matters.

Does your disabled mom have a source of income, as section 8 is income based housing. So she does need to contribute towards future rental costs and energy bills, food, etc. If she does, then one of the agencies may have referrals or a few dollars to contribute towards the security deposit on section 8 housing. Also, she can ask HUD offices for referrals for a deposit, as they may have suggestions too.

I haven't got the kids anything which is the last thing I should worry about in comparison to having. I need a Roof over their heads, food, and clean clothes. I'm so behind I'm not even able to do laundry. I need a miracle please.

While section 8 will not normally pay the deposit, there may be exceptions for the disabled. If you really can't find the address to apply, then that is too bad as it shows a lack of self-sufficiency, and that will truly hurt your case to enroll or to get deposit help. The numbers are right on the internet, under a public housing authority. Anyway, learn more on the vouchers and section 8 deposit help.

There are few places that assist with security deposits and if found usually only partials. Talk to section 8 personnel to see if they can direct you to any places that may be able to assist.

My husband & myself are both disabled for different medical issues. Both of us have chronic conditions that eventually are terminal.
We were born, raised & live in Miami-Dade county, Florida for 52 and 55 years, neither know how or where to apply for a section 8 housing
voucher or how & where to obtain the application. I have been trying to get an address or phone number for years but it seems to be a huge secret that no one will divulge.

We no longer can manage to pay our rent or afford the co-pay for my husbands medicines. We do not feel safe where we live & we are desperate to move because there have been many threats against us & our cars are often vandalized because we refuse to give or sell my husbands pain medications.
Unfortunately it is common knowledge that cancer patients are prescribed pain medication especially if they are terminal & my husband looks very ill & weak. Isn't that a form of extortion? I have been trying to get to the state attorney's office to press charges but I have been to sick to go. I hope to go this week if I feel just a little bit better.

We need an address or phone number where we can apply for help with moving to a different place where we will be safe, help with paying rent & especially the expensive medication my husband needs & has gone without because we cannot afford the co-pay.
It's a terrible thing to live in constant fear on top of being so sick. I pray that you can please help by guiding us to the right place.
Thanking you in advance.
