Rent help for disabled

[Demi Sutra]

I am disabled and downsizing. Right now, I am in a two-bedroom, and I have been waiting for a one-bedroom that I could afford that is handicap friendly. I placed my name on a waiting list. I was #34, then I got an email saying I was now #10. But I was told they no longer have any more apartments for low income.
So I have been waiting for a one-bedroom to open up. I have a rental history. My daughter moved, and my common-law husband passed away suddenly. He found out on 8/3/25 that he had cancer, and the next month he passed. Since then, I have been getting help from family members who needed help with child care when their sitter was out of town.
The management knows I have a good payment history, but they told me I have to pay a $500 deposit because the one from the two-bedroom does not transfer over. If I take that out of my disability check, I will not be able to cover my upcoming rent.

You have any income? how you even pay the rent to date Tracey? If you are homebound, ever look for a at home job or you on social security disability? Anyhow, the folks at NHPB have all the Louisiana parishes covered for the rent stuff here https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... siana.html

To Whomever It May Concern:
I am a homebound disabled Louisiana resident that is unemployed and struggling financially.
Can you please send information on local financial assistance for my rent?
Thank you for your assistance in this matter,
Tracey

Hi all,
We have multiple federal and local programs that can help disabled people with their rent. HUD, state benefits, charities and others offer either financial help or rent subsidized housing for adults of any age with a disability. Find them here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... sable.html

I am disabled and I am having a difficult time paying rent and I am facing eviction. I cannot afford where I live. I have 2 month left on my lease and I was trying to stay there because I didn't want an eviction. I can't avoid the inevitable and everything I have tried to stop from happening is happening now. I really need transitional assistance and help finding a new place to stay.

If you are about to marry a new man, live with him now. Seems very straightforward. It is better that than to be homeless. So that is what to do.
As far as getting back on your feet, here are some programs to try for rent help for the disabled. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... tance.html

Hi,
I need information on getting help paying rent. I just moved in had to put down a deposit that I didn't know about for my disability friendly home. I need to get a cell phone bill caught up. But I just got a wage garnishment for a bill back in 2010. I'm running out of money to get all this caught up. I should be fine after one month’s rent paid so I can get the rest caught up.

So do you need emergency rent help or assistance in locating a new home? They are completely different issues. Also, if you are disabled with numerous issues, it sounds like a bad idea to live by yourself. You sound like a candidate for supportive housing. How will you possibly afford the bills, rent, and other costs if you are very sick? Anyway, if you insist, then find some emergency, one time rent programs that you can always apply to. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... tance.html

I need information on housing assistance with a disability. I lost my apartment and now am living with my oldest son and his family. I still have a minor child and we really need our own place to live. Please send me any information you can. I really appreciate it.

I am a disabled, widowed, single mother of two. I am in desperate need of finding a home or rental assistance to get into an apartment, condo, townhouse, home etc. If there's any way that you can help please contact me immediately. I am truly wanting to find something around the Tempe Arizona area as I'm trying to go back to school at Southwest institute of healing arts. Thank you and God bless.

Hello, I am disabled, I had a bad car wreck and broke my neck in three vertebrate places. I see my doctors, and physical therapy I live on my disability check, and my daughter and her now two year old son has been living with me in an apartment, but I have also been raising and taking care of one of my grand-daughters who will be ten years old in October, and the other grand-daughter for eight months.
My wife left them with me due to serious family issue, my Dr, has already told me my condition is and will not get better if I do not start putting myself first, and limit my stress, but that’s my problem. Now that it’s just me I need help in finding me somewhere live that I can afford. I want and need to live by myself, so I can focus more on my health, I just desperately need help finding me a home. Pease call me, and I pray someone calls me or e-mails me back.

Hello,
I have written to you all before. I was able to receive a part time position but it only pays $7.25 and I only get about 10 hours a week. Like I stated in my last email I used to be a caregiver for my disabled mother but it was becoming to dangerous and I had to put her in a nursing home. I was able to use a portion of her disability money to pay my rent but now I will not be able to that. I think I will be able to pay August's rent but I fear I may be without a home next month. I am 28 years old, I have no children and rental assistance is slim and far between for people without kids. I don’t have many friends or family willing to help out. Can you please point me in the direction of a service or program that could help me.

Good evening to you,
If it was not for my hope and faith, I would have had a nervous breakdown by now. I hope that since hope is in the name of your agency and I have tons of faith, that you can help me.
I only need temporary help. Through no fault of my own, I had a serious medical emergency that put me on short term disability 8/23/2014. I am due to go back to work the end of June 2015. When my medical emergency happened, I was only worried about my health and getting better. Little did I know, my employer would deny all disability payments except 2 weeks. For almost 3 months I have been living with $0.00 pay (I was told I have a good lawsuit against my employer, but that is down the road). I went though all my savings. I have no financial support, due to people who want to help and can't and/or people who have just been able to give me a little here and there. I have contacted all the church, government and state resources I knew about and have been told about and they have only been able to help with food and 1 utility. I greatly appreciate that, but I am about to be homeless.
Please help with the entire amount of $935.00. I need this to keep me from being homeless or help toward that amount. I will not be able to get to work next month, if I am homeless. I am being proactive and trying to keep this to where the emergency gets better and not worse. I am also trying to not be a burden to all tax payers. If I am homeless, I will need all social welfare programs indefinitely. I am in Cuyahoga county Ohio.
Please, please... help by preferably 3/27/2015. I am a Good Person.
Sincerely and Seriously.

I'm in need of rental assistance and I reside in Riverside County, the city of Thousand Palms. I contacted and visited your disability office in Cathedral City and was told that assistance is available only once in a two year time frame. I didn't see any restrictions on the website, and am just clarifying if this is factual information.

We do get food stamps of $300 but for 5 people a month and all the bills we have we do go hungry at times. I mean it gets very hard. Please help anyone out there. Any help is good.

[Admin - Jon McNamara]

Yes, HUD applications often have a multiple year waiting list, even for the disabled. But we do have some options and information on other rental and housing for the disabled. Those can be found on the main site. Find details or suggestions for what you may need. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... sable.html

I need some kind of rental assistance because I have to move soon and due to my health problems I only live on SSI (disability) and some food stamps. I cannot find a 1 bedroom anywhere because of income guidelines (from my husband) or any kind of help from HUD because I am told that applications are closed at the moment. Please help, I have been searching since August. I am very scared.
