My sister and i are college students unemployed. I currently have no income. We are having a hardship in paying our rent and bills. We are having trouble finding programs with fundings in rent or housing assistance. We are both looking for work but no luck so far. We been selling items in our home to pay our rent. The manager said that you have to fall two months behind in rent before getting an eviction. We are still behind on this months rent. We would move somewhere cheaper but we cannot afford to move. We been asking a few churches but they say they do not have any funds. My car was stolen an it has just been continuous hardship. We walk every where we need to go but we do not have any money. Whenever we get any money we put it towards our rent. We walk as much as we can but too much walk for myself is painfully. Im a diabetic and I have had two diabetic comas within six months. We are doing all that we can to survive and stay in our apartment. Any feedback would be helpful and we would be extremely grateful. Thank you.

You can look into a program created from stimulus funds, known as
rapid rehousing, which can provide money to pay first month(s) rent, moving expenses, and security deposits. One of the goals is to get homeless people into a new home or apartment, and to keep them there.

Out of work two years? this may qualify you for section 8 housing aid and programs. While some do have waiting lists, they target those renters who are under extreme financial distress, and two years without work may do it. Dozens of agencies operate in every state, so select your state here. Not sure if can help with garnishment of wages or not, but ask the Section 8 housing counselor when you call them.

Out of work and need rent help

Im not sure on where to go to get help with our rent. My husband was out of work for two years and we got behind on the rent during that time. He is back to work now but not able to get it caught up. My checks are being garnished for the bills that were not able to be paid. We were recently told that if we do not get the rent caught up we might be evicted. Please help me to find someone that might be able to help.
