Have you also tried applying for food stamps, in addition to Dallas rental programs? Between the two (food and financial aid for rent) you may be able to get back on your feet and current with paying your bills, debts, and monthly rent.

Where exactly do you live in Ohio? What city or county. Until we know that hard to be very specific on providing help. But there are a number of agencies that offer Ohio rent help. Some may prioritize payments for foster kids or people with grandchildren, who are trying to make a difference in this world. When does unemployment run too?

I moved to Ohio to save my two grandkids from abuse in the several foster homes they been shuffled around in for the past two years. I only need temporary help to maintain custody of the children. I work but have been laid off since may and I go back Aug 15, my unemployment just cant handle the responsibility to carry us for one more month. Im desperate and i need help

You need to ask for help earlier then the day it is needed. That is way too late. Anyway, find Washingon County Utah assistance programs, agencies, and services that can help you. Call around and see what they can do. Call the Five County Association of Governments CAP at (435) 673-3548. They offer many assistance programs and resources. Also try calling Utah Legal Services – Southern Utah Community Legal Center at 628-1604.

He said he wanted to come live with me. I was in no position to have him come live with me.I was not leaving him there. I will do whatever it takes to be able to support my son and myself. I need help today. I have a job at The Black Bear Diner as a server. There not open until this weekend. So I need help with my rent.

While we are not sure of places to call to rent in your area, as we do not have apartments or homes listed, we can give you information on agencies and non-profits to call that can help you move, paying deposits, moving expenses, and other support. Gray Court SC is in Laurens County SC. Call the GLEAMNS Human Resources Commission, which is the community action agency at (864) 223-9456). Golden Strip Emergency Relief Center is another local non-profit.

We at needhelp missed this post. Sorry for the delay in response. Try this for a number of different rent assistance programs in Will County and Joliet Illinois. The top place to call is probably the Will County Center for Community Concerns 815.722.0722. They are the leading non-profit agency in that particular region. The phone number is Daybreak Center. Another good place to call is Daybreak Center, which offers transition housing and other rent programs. (815) 774-4663. Read more Will County rent assistance and other financial aid and support.

I was on section 8 but lost it to the fact. of not being able to make it to an appointment. way in Independence. i live way in south Kansas city i had benefits from SSI to support my children. but i lost that in 2010 of last summer. I'v been on it all my life so, when i got kicked off I started applying for jobs right away, but with me not having no work experience. its been very difficult to find work. because i have no work history. if any one can help I and my children, before my landlord kick me out of the only place that i and my kids have to go. i would greatly appreciate it. and show my appreciation. once i establish a job, but right now i really need a helping hand. to keep I and my children together. I'v never been late on rent, or missed a payment til this storm. and I'm not going down without a fight for the sake of my kids. so if any one can here the cries of a man. trying to do the right thing by his kids. please help me before I'm evicted.

Yes, unfortunately you usually need to have an eviction notice in order to get emergency rent help. So did you review the fact he lied and reduced benefits with the court system, and how can you not have a lease? A housing counselor may be able to help with those issues though. Places to call in Racine for help include Racine's Legal Action (Phone number is (262) 635-8836). They offer various government HUD programs, which are directly related to eviction prevention and rental programs. They have various free housing counselors on staff too.

I like living here with my 13 yr old daughter and 18 yr old daughter who has a new baby (3 mos old). I am unemployed and receive disability from the insurance company where I was last employed and my daughter is unemployed and has not yet received any child support from the child's father. The father lied about income so she will receive less than $200.00 per month to support her baby. I have been paying expenses which is why I am short this month. I live in Racine County which offers help however you must have an eviction notice and a lease neither of which I have. Please contact me ASAP with any suggestions to obtain help for a one time payment of my May rent. I am desperate. Thank you.

Got it Danni. Information on options and programs in your area is here.
http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/cha ... grams.html
You can try non-profits and charities like the Charleston SC based Shelternet program (phone (843) 856-4125) which offers rent, mortgage, and energy bill assistance. Also just general counseling and advice is there too. Use the link to find scores of agencies and non-profits in that part of SC. The more places you call to ask for help the more likely you will get you need met.

What state and/or county? Most rent assistance is local, so if had that information I can provide phone numbers, etc. So without having that, my reply is general. Use this link to learn about rental programs, then use links off the pages to find phone numbers for your county, national programs, etc. The fact you have a full time job should make it more likely that you can get aid. Really explore the site as there are thousands of agencies and phone numbers listed on needhelppayingbills. Good luck, or reply with info on your location.
