Federal rent program

[ChristineLag]

Hi, my name is Jodi. I receive monthly SSI income. I had to file for Disability for my husband. My husband cannot walk well also had a stroke. We were not able to pay our rent for this month therefore we will have to leave on September 30th. My rent here is $900.00 a month are only source of income is my SSI and Snap benefits.
Is there any programs that can help with rent. My landlords are willing to accept any Federal Government assistance for us to stay. At this time, we are both disabled and have nowhere to go without the rent paid. We also have to pay Vehicle insurance and Electricity and phones. Can you please help us?

I currently have NO income. But I am filing for my disability...
I am in need of rental assistance from the federal government to keep a roof over my head...

Hi,
If you have no income, your chances of getting rent help from the government or anyone is close to zero. As what will you do all the following months? The federal rent programs, and no agency, will just throw money down the drain. People need a plan, source of income, etc. to become stable. Anyway, ret this for rental assistance near where you live.

I'm a single mom of an 8 year old daughter. Never applied or received any federal government rent assistance before. I had to leave my job 2 months ago due to family issues and I have fallen behind on this and last months rent and electric bill totaling $1800. I do have a job lined up in March and land lord both gave me an extension on payment but time has run out and I could really use help to not have to leave our apartment or have electric turned off. Thank you so much for your consideration.

You did not mention your state, so maybe try our general page for rental assistance programs. $1000 is a lot of money though, and no federal or non-profit program will give that type of money. But maybe you can appy at multiple charities to slowly work up towards that. Also see if you can negotiate a lower payment. Try all that in addition to finding help with rent from these resources we have listed.

Paying rent. I tried talking to leasing manager about rent this month for December but is not able to pay Because of a
Shut down at my job. This was because during holiday season business is slow, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. They want me
to pay close to $1000 dollars because I decided to break my lease and stay with my boyfriend That stays in the Same
apartment complex as I do. So we need from help from the federal programs out there.
I went to Leasing manager. My boyfriend and my self want to be put on the Same lease together

-1500 saying why and What fees I have to pay but I did move in on a special of the DAY the apartments was giving. I

Hello, I'm in need of help paying my bills, I fell behind on my bills and wanted to know how can I receive assistance paying my rent. It has not been paid for the month of October and got an 10 day eviction letter.

Please provide me with some information on how to get this help. I only need it to get back on track. I am a working mother. Thank you.

I'm a female, 26 years old and currently pregnant with my second child. My mom has custody of my first son because I had a drug problem and got myself into some trouble. I have since been in recovery and am taking the steps needed in order to get my life together. I recently got married to my husband who is currently the only financial supporter of the family, and he doesn't make enough to support three people. We will be moving into our house in West Virginia on the 19th which is owned by my parents, but we have to pay rent. We are struggling financially. We get some federal government aid, and I am trying to find any other solutions for help since I am now married and no longer in the care of my parents. Any information will help! Thank you.

Behind on rent. My unemployment doesn't cover my rent. I've been looking everyday for a job but nothing has panned out yet and my landlord is considering an eviction very soon. I've tried to work out something with her but I'm desperate right now and need to get this months rent paid ASAP. I have no family or no where to go if evicted. I will for sure be homeless I need help desperately ASAP please.

Been told either I don’t qualify due to lack of minimum income guidelines, or they are at maximum capacity. I am however on the rental assistance program waiting list but was advised this could take years. I was hoping if I contacted enough agencies perhaps if enough people put whatever they could afford towards assisting me, I could possibly come up with the rent at least for this month. I am also asking if you have any information pertaining to my situation as far as if I do get an eviction letter, where I could go. Shelters, other places that I am not aware of, just somewhere to go temporarily until our original home is finished. Also gas vouchers or gift cards to assist us would help as well. Gift cards to local grocery stores or gas is something I am also in desperate need of. I have plenty of clothes and toys/books thanks to the generosity of the donations we received at the time of the fire. My daughter will be starting kindergarten in August and I don’t even know where we will be. I am suppose to be so excited that she has reached this milestone in her life, instead I cannot sleep at night due to worrying about not having a roof over our head. Also my youngest who will be 2 in August is severely speech delayed and I am going through the proper motions with "Child Find"; who will assess him and provide him with help if he has a disability, and definitely assist him with speech. I am very happy to have this done, but if I am not living here in Fairfax County Virginia, I cannot utilize this resource. So as you see my situation is long and complex and I am in dire need of help. Please let me now if you can provide me with any type of financial assistance, or information on where my children and I could live until our home is rebuilt or we find more permanent housing. Thank you for taking the time to read this and please, I beg you, try to help me if you are able. I know the Lord will get me through this and I believe with HIM all things are possible, so I may be discouraged but NEVER will I give up trying. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello, I need help. I am staying with a family member and my time here is running very short. I have no income other than my unemployment benefits. I am trying to find a job as quickly as possible but, as for my housing situation I have nowhere to go. I am having a hard time finding an apartment because I don't have much money and I have bad credit so many places won't accept me. Any information or help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I need help paying my rent for April because I was laid off a couple weeks before Christmas due to job cuts at the federal government agency. It was due to sequester. I just recently had a newborn son and I really need the assistance. I just started a new job as well but I won’t be paid until a couple weeks by now and I don’t want the late charges to be outrageous. I just really need the help for this month until I can get a paycheck again.

We are not sure if there are rent programs for Mobile homes. Does he own the lot or long term lease with a landlord. Anyway, we think you just may need to read our main site and about the various rental programs we have listed. Maybe look into homeless prevention or similar services and options. Call around to some non-profits to see if they have ideas on Mobile homes. Do things like that.

That income and those expenses just do not add up. she will need to look for a cheaper apartment or reduce expenses in other ways. Your expenses can't be higher than income indefinitely. Even government aid or the scholarship will not allow her to make it over the long term. Can she find an apartment or cheaper lodging? That is great that she is going back to school to try to improve the long term for herself and her child. In meantime, some Contra Costa rent programs or listed here too. Try places like the Hamilton Family Center at phone number of (415) 292-9930.

Hello:
I am trying to get assistance for my daughter and grand son. My daughter just turned 20 years old and has a 3 yr old son. She is a full time college student and her only income is $650 a month from the Veterans Administration Educational Benefit Program. Her rent and utilities cost exactly $900 per month. (Her rent and utilities are included in one monthly payment to her landlord) Leaving her $36 cash. Currently she is $1100 behind in her rent because her school did not file her VA paperwork in time and she did not get her VA check on Oct. 1st. The only assistance she gets from the state is food stamps along with WIC and Medicaid for her son. She gets no cash assistance nor does she get any medical
assistance. She is fearing that unless she can pay her rent in the coming weeks, that she and
her son will get evicted and be homeless. She is also worried that she will not be able to provide any kind of Christmas for her son. My daughter works very hard and is trying to educate herself and make a better life for herself and her son. She goes to college 5 days a week for 7-8 hours per day. I am on a fixed and limited low income....(I only get $664 per month in SSI) because I am disabled.... My daughter is not looking to live off of the system....she is simply needing help for a few months until she can get far enough along in her school to get a part time job in her field of study (Cosmetology). Any information and/or assistance you can provide will be very appreciative.... Thank you very much...
