Hello I'm a single mother and I have a 6 year old son. I can't get child support or help from his dad because he passed away. We were engaged at the time, but he was only 21 when he died and doesn't qualify for SSI. We really need help getting into a place as we are homeless and staying in a garage right now. I've called 211 which looked up all emergency resources/funds available and there is nothing at all. I don't see how that is possible. I even had a 1 hour phone appointment with the lady who was supposed to help.
Please, if you know of any help please let me know. I keep getting referred back to Community Action or 211 and that is the 1st place I've called. I feel as though I have run out of options for rent money. I was going to college and only a few credits short of graduating, I had Financial Aid for support but because I became homeless I was suspended from Financial Aid. I just don't know what to do anymore. I am at rock bottom, I have never been here before and need help back up
If you have tried the Urban Ministry and those other groups, then just keep calling around. Maybe you will find some funds. Also, to get $200 from a church is very generous, as very few (if any) have that type of money. But here is more information on the Greensboro Urban Ministry services and programs.
I've fallen behind on my rent and I've tried everything I could think of to pull myself out of this hole, but I realized that I can't do it on my own. I'm 27 years old I live in an one bedroom apartment in Birmingham AL. At one point in time I had most of the money to pay my rent but my leasing off returned my money orders demanding the full amount. In the process of them returning them back to me, they lost them. So I'm stuck in this situation and I have no idea how to fix it. Please help me!
We need Emergency Rental Assistance. My 5 children need help with $600. I just had a baby so I haven’t been able to start working yet. So now my rent is late and the property manger of my apartment complex in Forest Park, GA said I have until July 26th to get the delinquent balance or he would put the 6 of us out!!
As I told him I didn't even have money to buy my children Christmas gifts. That sucks for me I feel so bad. I wish I could really save my apartment & be able to get a job. I want to try to make it & for me to be able to take care of my children. Please HELP OR MY 5 & I WILL BE ON THE STREETS July 26th. Please help my family!!

Any advice/help would be extremely appreciated!!
I am 2-1/2 months behind in my rent. My monthly income has dropped dangerously low to about $900. My expenses are about $1200. My utilities are always receiving shutoff notices and I pay them just in time. I have the lowest standard of living possible . I do not own a car, TV or computer. I am contacting you on an IPad that was given to me using free wi-fi at the library. I have a $10 pay as you go cell phone. I am just not making ends meet anymore. I need help, mostly with rent. Thank you.
Pierce County. I have been on a medical leave and my short term disability has been denied for the last 4 months. I am behind on my rent by 3 months. I filed my answer to the courts for the eviction. So, it is just a matter of days. I'm back at work and just need some help to catch up. I am a single woman so, there are very limited resources for eviction prevention for me. any advice or help would be very appreciated. I am currently attending the Ready to Rent classes. But, would rather stay in my place now if possible.
My family and I are moving to a new house, and my husband has gotten arrested and now I have to come up with 500 dollars just to get my electric switched. He's going to be gone awhile and now I don't know what I’m going to do. I'm pregnant and have two boys ages 8 &10. I work for the state of Michigan so I only he paid once a month. The bill is in his name and I didn't know the bill was that high. I would have had the money but its all tied up in this new house. Please help my kids and I.

I am in need of rent assistance for the month April coming up so I can spend what little money I have to pay for beds and furniture, electric bill that will be due. I recently lost my car. So, transportation has become a bit of a struggle. Please let me know if there's help for me in any way. Thanks in advance...will be greatly appreciated.
My rent for March is late this month due to me being unemployed. I've been waiting on my unemployment to come through for a month and a half now, and they still have yet to make a decision on my claim. My rent is $500/month, and this month, I am short $400. All I have left to my name is $100. I just got a new job, but it does not begin until April. Do you know of any organizations that can help me until then? If I'm evicted, I will be homeless. I have nowhere else to go. Please help.
It sounds like you are trying to do the right thing by working, husband looking for work, and taking actions like that. Also calling churches and other agencies in your region of Hampton Roads for emergency assistance is a good thing to do too. Unfortunately the demand for rent help is very high, and most agencies and charities have limited funding and/or waiting lists. Just keep trying. In the meantime, here is more info on Hampton Roads Virginia rental assistance.
Hello,
I hope I find the right source of place to get help. Currently, we are in being evicted by landlord due to non-payment. My husband needs mental help which I am trying to get for him in our state of Kansas and as a result we are closed to separation and eventually a divorce will be imminent. The whole family is counting on my as I am left to find help alone. My kids are 13 and 16 years old and school is starting in less than a week. The court hearing for eviction is due tomorrow and will see if they can postpone the hearing to a later date. Would appreciate if someone can get back to me on how to get housing as I have kids who are counting on me tremendously. Thank you for your time and looking forward to hear from you soon.

I am currently 1 1/2 months behind on my rent. Every single bill in my house is overdue. I'm currently am unemployed and have a roommate whom cannot pay the bills alone. We are both exhausted all of our funds. We cannot get any payday loans or any financial resources at this time. We both has been asked to move by our landlord due to unpaid rent. We both have no where to go and will be homeless. We are barely surviving and barely have enough food at this time. I do receive food stamps however no cash. I do not know what to do. I live in Blue Island, IL. There is no funding in this suburb to help me...I'm lost please help me. Thank you. Majority of my family is deceased including my brother, my aunts, and my Grandparents. I am no longer in contact with my mom and dad or sister. Please help me.
We moved to Fort Collins for my husband's "full time" job but he was laid off with no notice on June 5. He worked what was to be a 4-month contract to hire starting on Dec. 3. The expected end date was May 15, but he finished his assignment thoroughly and ahead of schedule, hoping to be hired as an employee. But the employer laid him off before his contract ended instead. Since we anticipated a paycheck through the April 3 pay period, and use auto pay for bills, the sudden layoff caught us off guard. My account (household account) is over drafted, and our rent is due on April 1. We also, of course, lost our health insurance, and my husband and I are in need of continued doctor visits. But it must immediate need is help paying the rent and buying food. We have been through this many times since my husband was laid off in 2000 and out of work for 14 months. Since then, most of his work has been as a contractor (computer systems analyst). We already lost our home to foreclosure in 2010, my health is poor, and the stress is overwhelming. So if we could get assistance with the rent until my unemployment checks begin to come in it would lift a heavy burden from our already bowed backs.

I was wondering about housing assistance in Sioux City, Iowa. My son and I are planning on moving there this next weekend and will be staying with my son’s grandmother until we are able to find a place of our own. Please e-mail me back as soon as possible. Thank you.
Our landlord is going to kick us out of our rental home next week if we don’t pay 600$ that we owe. Well, we recently got into a bind with lack of income, losing hours, no work etc and we just need help. My wife has been looking for a job and still hasn't found any yet. We need prayers as well as a miracle. Please help somehow. Thanks a lot.
I am a stay at home mom of 2 children, all under 10. My fiancé is a cement mason in the local union here but has been laid off since mid October. His unemployment barely if at all covers rent, utilities, water/sewer, car payment, car insurance rent and phone. I had to borrow money to pay December's rent, am behind 2 weeks on rent for January - and am having trouble gathering the funds for it, and Aprils rent is due in two more weeks. He should be back to work by the end of March but this is nearly impossible to make any additional money to help.
I am in need of help to find someone or agency who can help me. My unemployment benefits have been exhausted and I am two months behind in my rent. Salvation Army won't help because I do not have a verifiable employer, Urban Ministry no longer helps with rent and I have tried my church, the only offer $200 and I need $794. On April 22, I have a court date for eviction, any advice or referrals you can offer will be helpful. If anyone else in my city or can use this help as well I will pass it on. We are living in trying times and I realize I am not the only person who needs help.
