I am currently on maternity leave and my job does not pay me for it. I was denied families first and my food stamps was taken from me a few months ago. I have no money and need help paying rent and bills. Its just me and my newborn and I have nowhere to go if I get evicted and no one to help me.

If your income is that low how were you denied food stamps and the family first program? Are you receiving any other government benefits? Try applying for unemployment too if out of work short term. In the meantime, find
rent help in Chicago and learn about the government programs, charities, and non-profits that can help the low income pay their rent and energy bills, and other expenses. Usually people with children can get rent assistance in Chicago before anyone else.
