Hotel or motel vouchers - Where to get one?

[MacroPed191]

I and my friend Sheryl are seeking help with a Motel voucher...We were presently in a motel...This is our last night here and we need help before tomorrow...
I am taking care of her... She got out of the hospital 1 week ago and she had cancer removed from her left lung...This is a major surgery...
The friend she and I were staying with while she heals a recovery fully. Got verbally a mentally abusive and drunk a told us to leave in the middle of the night. A friend had enough to get us for a couple of nights but that’s all they could help us with... So, if you can help us out at Motel 6 here in Coos Bay, it would be really appreciative... The room is under Sherl, thank you, please reply as soon as possible.

Hi Mary,
We are going to send you a couple options. But do you have plans/goal to get out of the hotel, like a job? As most voucher programs are only for a limited period - sometimes even just a night or two. But here you go - Try the main guide to hotel/motel vouchers.
But try this for your area of Flint too. It is the GCHC homeless prevention option which may have a voucher in some cases. Try it at https://genchc.org/housing-resource-cen ... n-program/

Hello, my name is Mary. My 8 year old daughter and I have been staying at a hotel in Flint, Michigan. I feel behind on the weekly payments due to losing my job. They’re kicking us out so I am hoping I can get a voucher now?
We’re looking for any kind of hotel payment assistance or other resources for housing. I contacted so many places already. I found this information in a resource packet I got from another church. Please, get back with me as soon as possible.

Hi Jonathan,
Motel help not common (only often in dire circumstances as motels/hotels are costly). Even more so if you need a dog friendly place. But have you tried any of the organizations in Marshall County AL that help with rent?
As some of them may have options, even including rehousing.

But my name is Jonathan. I need some help. I need help us get checked into a motel, me and my mother. And a dog. They won't allow dogs to stay at homeless shelter. And my mother's not going to go nowhere without her dog. I just want to see if you can help us. Get checked into a motel somewhere in Albertville, Alabama. You can give me a call as desperate, please.

Can you stop the eviction? Maybe that is the first thing to try. As there are eviction prevention programs in the area as listed here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... rehou.html

My husband & I have just recently moved to Houston & we're living in a weekly pay motel. I'm putting in applications for jobs but nothing so far. We're running out of money to pay our rent and will be homeless without a voucher. We have enough for one more week.
I read that you help people with hotel and motel vouchers. I'm 60 years, old and my husband is 62 years old. What I'm asking is could you help us to get a voucher ASAP so that I can keep looking for a job and my husband is going to be filing for his social security this month. Please help us.

Hello My name is Ebony and I was just recently a domestic violence victim with me and my 2 daughters with one of them being attacked along with me.

Hi Ebony,
Sorry to read that. Since a DV victim, and also need a place to stay with your 2 daughters, the Salvation Army is probably a good option. As they have emergency hotel vouchers as well as help women impacted by DV. The Salvation Army also has shelters and other programs for homeless people in case the vouchers for a hotel are not available anymore. Look here for details on Salvation Army hotel vouchers.

Hello, I appreciate you taking time out of your day to assist me and my loved ones a hotel voucher. I am reaching out because my family and I had to leave our house in May of this year and we can no longer reside with family members and have been informed we have to leave in a week. If there are any programs that offer assistance for a hotel to help us relocate into a home as soon as possible. I understand we are limited to certain programs due to us all being adults but, my brother is partially blind and my mother is disabled so we cannot individually go to shelters on our own. If we could even get Hotel vouchers I'd be very grateful. Again, thank you for helping and whatever can be offered will be greatly appreciated.

Hello My name is Ebony and I was just recently a domestic violence victim with me and my 2 daughters with one of them being attacked along with me. I didn't anticipate this happening ever and especially at this time and now we are homeless and need a hotel voucher. This has definitely put a financial strain on me and my family and with bills coming due I am afraid I won't be able to afford a hotel room alone. I also need medical treatment and I just can't afford to go and pay for the treatment since we will be homeless.

Hi Leah
While we are not sure if a voucher will pay for a dog friendly room, especially a pitbull as many people have the wrong impression about that breed. Plus it may just be hard to find a dog friendly place. But that being said, here are some programs that may give an immediate voucher for a room. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... chers.html

Good morning,
I hope every ones morning is going well.
My name is Leah and I'm recovering from a life threatening illness that's resulted in my homeless experience with my pitbull. I am seeking a free voucher to pay for a hotel room this week.

Good morning,
I hope every ones morning is going well.
My name is Leah and I'm recovering from a life threatening illness that's resulted in my homeless experience with my pitbull. I am seeking a free voucher to pay for a hotel room this week. My brakes are starting to not stop me so I could use some help. As apart of my recovery I choose to be of service to others, and a voucher to pay for some or all of a hotel will help me there. It will also me to be able to help others, well it's my medicine. With so many suffering I must do all that I'm able, to continue with my recovery and be of service to others.
Would you please help me and our community?

Hello I am 57 years old, homeless in San Jose CA, and have several serious health issues. I recently proposed to my girlfriend of over 40 years, she is also homeless, currently housed in The Extended Stay Hotel thru Life Moves. Where can we get a voucher to pay for the hotel which will also be out honeymoon.
We also need money for the fee for a marriage license. It is $80 and while this is not a huge amount of money it is still out of our reach. Are there any services that can assist us paying for the hotel room right now and in becoming married?
Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Kimberly and all,
There are many places that may give out free motel vouchers, but generally they are only when shelters are full or a local disaster occurs in your community. But some places, like Salvation Army or Social Services, may offer them as well for women facing abuse (that need a safe place to live) or even more rare is for a new job such as a location move that Kim wants. Anyhow, we have many resources listed for information on free motel or hotel voucher programs. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... chers.html

Hello
My name is Kimberly, I am inquiring about getting some assistance for a motel voucher. I was recently displaced from my residence in Harris county. I came to stay with family in Rockport, but was turned away once I arrived. I have a job lined up in Alabama that starts the 27th of this month, but have no where to stay until then and can use a voucher for a hotel or motel there. I am currently at ONO hotel in Rockport, however do not have the money to continue to stay. If there is anyone that can help I would be happy to repay the amount once I am in Alabama working.
Thank you for your time

I’m sending this email for my family member who is currently living in hotel space with her children and she needs a new voucher.
The Salvation Army has been contacted by leaving voicemail on the “need financial assistance” option which tells you to call a different number that sends you back to the same voicemail. Two(2) voicemails to be exact was left. Still no return call. According to your automated system, once the list fills up for the week the person/family in need will need to reach out the following week (Monday) at 08:30am. The money to get her out of the old hotel to and that would be for a new voucher that was set aside for security deposit for rental for housing has been depleted in hotel stay. So now it’s next to impossible to save money for security deposit for housing. I’ve been searching through your website and it states you can assist in helping. If the Salvation Army can’t assist please point in the right direction of who can assist.

Sorry to hear you have been staying in hotel rooms since 2020. The pandemic sadly caused lots of struggles for many. But there may be options for you. Look into free hotel stays for the homeless.

I am in Seffner Florida. Ever since being evicted in October 2020, I have been staying in hotels using government vouchers. Now that unemployment has been reduced to only 250 a week I am finding it almost impossible to pay my weekly hotel bill. This last week I am unable to even log into my unemployment account at all. I have been unable to get paid this week and I am to the limit on people I can borrow money from.
From what I understand you help people with vouchers that are in hotels and/or help people get stable housing. If you can wire back and tell me what I can do to get help. I have already applied to our Florida but I have yet to be approved. If you could please help me I'm trying not to be completely homeless altogether.
