What state, county? At that time we can provide you much more information on who to call for rent help in your area. In the meantime, use our "general" link for rental assistance. You can drill down to local programs and services from the general link, but if your provide county we can be much more specific for you. As we have extensive info on rental programs and security deposits too.

Yes, if you can't pay all those bills then that is an emergency situation. Why did Myrtle Beach stop that housing? Maybe look into some of the rent and financial assistance, grant, and debt programs in Horry County and Myrtle Beach. There are several different agencies and places to call in Myrtle Beach, so places like Churches Assisting People (CAP) at 843.488.2277 as well as the Myrtle Beach Caring and Sharing Inc. program, which is more for seniors, but can be called at 843-558-7966.

I have noticed that the people posting for help on here seem to be illiterate and cannot spell simple words or use words properly to make proper sentence structure. Maybe that is what's wrong with 24 year olds that cannot pay their bills. Illiteracy. Just saying.

Hi,
Im sure my situation will tell like many others except mine is very real.I am 44 yrs old and a state tested nurses aide but until recently havent not worked but to a back injury which for 2 yrs had me unable to work.I had been using prescription pain meds to stop the pain due to nerve damage in my back and because of the back problem also had nerve damage which caused my leg to go numb all the way to my toes. ive had trouble getting work and being able to keep the jobs due to my health . I had a sister who helped me out but recently lost her to cancer and i have a precious autistic son i need to care for. I want to help myself and i am trying to but since losing my job and my sister i also have had countless spells of bad luck with my vehicle and subsequently lost our roof over our heads so i am now living with a relative who basically has no room for us.Please if anyone knows of any grants or ways to help, let me know. Btw.. i have an husband who has been a dead beat dad and the county i live in knows about him and cannot do anything to him because HE recieves ssi benefits . I have a child to care for and cannot even get food stamps because i missed a appointment when my sister died at the welfare office and the dead beat father recieves food stamps and almost 700 a month from the govt. Go figure.

That is a good point, as oftentimes the people with children get aid over singles. Even if they are working and doing their best to make it through the day, it doesn't always work out. You may need to look into the roommate option. But also find a listing of Oakland California assistance programs, some of which can help with rent costs. Call agencies like the Oakland Community Action Partnership at 510-238-2362 or the non-profit ECHO Housing (phone(510) 836-4826), which is probably the most extensive agency.

I will be homeless very soon I do have a job part-time, but my car payment takes up most of my earnings so that leaves me very little to pay in rent. I know beggars can't be choosers, but I cannot live with a room mate or rent someone's room in their house. I desperately need assistance in finding out if there is a rental program in Oakland that I can apply for, or just help in general. Can u please contact me . Thank you.

What county, etc? In the meantime, here is a link to many local programs in Texas. Also, you can try the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) rent assistance program.

Try some of the New Jersey government assistance programs, and find help from non-profits in the NJ area.
http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/new ... grams.html
The state does offer a grant program known as the New Jersey State Rental Assistance Program. IT does focus on low income, which I assume is you with that low unemployment benefits you get.

I am a single mother of one. I do not qualify for Temporary Rental Assistance (TRA) because I am claiming unemployment benefits. However, my unemployment totals $606 per month, when my rent is $950 per month. So I can't afford to pay the rent. I am currently behind in 3 months of rent. My landlord is evicting me. What are my options?

Information on programs in Kingsport, Bristol, and Sullivan County Tennessee are below. There are places to contact that may be able to provide funds for paying first months rent, and ways to pay a utility deposit so your service can be turn back on. The places cover both of the towns and cities you mentioned.

Is it Jefferson County New York or Alabama? If New York, here is a reference for programs there. The The Community Action Planning Council of Jefferson County Inc. is one agency to try. They run a rental assistance and housing program that is known as Helping Eradicate All Roads to Homelessness, or HEARTH, and this can provide some emergency help for you and your daughter. There are usually women's charities and agencies for people who leave husband, etc.
