Hello my name is Janet. I live in simi valley California. Next months I will be homeless with help from Saint Vincent or some other church. I have no family except one grown daughter who is unemployed looking everyday for employment. We area a Military family of 3 wars. It's just us, I don't want to become Homeless. We never been in this kind of situation before seeking aid from Saint Vincent. Please tell us where to go for help in this city.
Thank you!!!

There is not one process - as there are thousands of local St. Vincent parishes. Each has different processes, income criteria, resources, etc. But of course they will all be income based, based on person's need, etc. Find the various St. Vincents that and a list of them here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... ancia.html

Good morning,
My name is Michael. I live in Putnam CT and I need aid before I go homeless. I am struggling pretty bad right now and I am not sure I’ll be able to pay my rent this month. My mother told me to contact Saint Vincent DePaul because you offer rent assistance and a bunch of other things for struggling families. I am embarrassed to ask for help but I’m desperate right now. I barely have food in my house and I’m struggling to pay rent and utilities this month. I hope Saint Vincent will help before I lose my home and am homeless.
I also fell behind on my car. I’m mostly worried about my rent and I know you guys do food pantries that I will be checking out. I am soo nervous and don’t know what to do at this point. I don’t need the full amount of my rent for assistance. I will have most of it. I’m just at a loss right now. I hope to hear back soon. During the day I’m at work and I work at electric boat so it’s hard for me to answer but I can answer emails or call when I get off work.

I recently had to move out of my house due to landlord needed to do renovations.  I thought I could quickly find a cheaper than what I was paying place fast and I asked Saint Vincent de Paul for help.  I have been looking for over a month now and every place I find that I can afford requires a background check, which I have a felony for NSF acquired during my divorce, and my credit is terrible. 
I have been staying in a motel when I can and at my daughter and husbands house off and on but they are having marriage problems so it’s not very comfortable.  Every time I put in an application for a rental it costs me 25-45 filing fee.  I am down to barely making it finally have found a little apartment big enough for me and my other 2 sometimes 3 children to live.  I am in need of help paying the $500 deposit to hold it for me until I get paid and can pay rent starting the first of July.  If I can’t come up with it but Monday and apply for Saint Vincent help they won’t hold it.  I asked my previous bishop for help but he denied me because I’m not a true member and not in that ward anymore.  The salvation Army only helps on the first and its first come first serve and they are not funded well right now.  St Vincent de Paul helped me 4 years ago during my divorce and can only help food wise and I want to apply to Saint Vincent again.  I live in Idaho and resources are scarce  and I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP SO I CAN GET BACK INTO MY OWN HOME AND SLEEP WELL, NOT WORRY, AND ME N MY KIDS ARE SAFE UNDER A ROOF AGAIN.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF ALL RESOURCES I CAN INQUIRE WITH.  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ON MY APPLICATION.

St. Vincent is one of the many charities out there that offers clothes, both during the winter and year round. We have other charities listed too for winter boots, hats, or year round, free clothing. SVDP is but one. Look here for free winter clothing near you.

As all of these requests above can probably see, the SVDP application process varies by parish, city, county, and funding levels. There will be other criteria too. Each location is independent. But we have them all listed. Find how to apply for SVDP assistance programs near you.

If you work, so have an income, then try low income subsidized housing. There are apartments, rental homes, condos, etc. in every state as part of services from HUD. Read about section 8 HCV vouchers near you. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... using.html

Hello, I'm in a huge hurry to get any information on this motel voucher accommodation from Saint Vincent Depaul. I'm homeless. I have a cat. I'm 25 years old. I'm asking for anything to help me and my pet to get out of this condition of being out side in a bad time. Covid19 is very scary and I don't have family to help me get off the streets.
I'm willing to work at Saint Vincent Depaul. I have just been in a rough situation and can't get things done that need to be done in wordy to be a functional member of society. Please help me get this voucher for however long I can. I'm grateful, thanks for the time and consideration.

Myself and my 15 year old daughter are technically homeless. We are staying with a friend right now and with St. Vincent de Paul.
I work and I need to purchase a car for us. I have a seller of a decent one owner car offering to sell it to us, but I need assistance from Saint Vincent on getting the inspection and registration.
We currently have an open case with Perry county assistance office for medical and food stamps.
Her school of West Perry sends a van out to where we are staying to get her back and forth to school.
I have been in contact with Sherry @Join Hands in New Bloomfield PA.They have no funds available until April 29th, 2021.
I am also contacting Perry Human Services for help.
How can I apply for help through your Saint Vincent organization?
Thank you kindly.

Hello, my name is Priscilla and I live in Shirley in Suffolk county NY, Looking for some advice/help. I spoke with Michelle from St.Vincent La Paul located in Mastic Beach and she gave me a few resources and found your web page.
I'm hoping to get some advice for me and my family about the process to apply. I have two little girls Jasmine is 5 and Brianna is 9. For the past few months we have been living in a camper on my mother's property because we lost our home about a year ago because our landlord sold the house and we had no money saved to move and we had to get out fast. Right now, I am working 40 hours a week as well as my fiancé is too.
We saved some money but not enough to get into a home right now. Which we desperately need. My mom was nice enough to have us parked in her yard for a few months and now she wants us gone asap. I have no idea where we are going to go. The camper we are in is not in the best shape. It is leaking, and the roof is caving in, in the back but it's something for now a place my girls can call home. I try everyday but really feel like I failed.Please if you have any advice or any information that could help my family please E-mail me back or call me. Thank you so much and I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello, I am reaching out because St Vincent's was a listed resource for emergency help for bills like rent and PGE and even Christmas help and was hoping you could help me and my family, especially my kids. Please show us the process to apply for Saint Vincent de Paul if possible because I just got put on disability due to high risk pregnancy complications and was the only person up till now who was able to work. I am feeling very scared and overwhelmed.
Please let me know and thank you for your time.

Hello, I was told by a friend that I might be able to get some assistance through St. Vincent de Paul. I'm having a hard time making contact. I am going through a divorce right now and need furniture and clothes. My husband has stayed in the house we shared and I went to stay with a friend. Her landlord did not want my children there and therefore terminated the lease. Since May 1 we have been homeless. Staying in hotels. My husband and I have 5 children. 4 of them are with me primarily and they need beds and winter coats. Our money is draining quickly and we have had no success getting into a rental and we hope Society of Saint Vincent can help. If you can help us with moving, rent, furniture, beds, clothes or more in any way it would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me via phone or text or reply to email. Thank you.

I need help in getting help paying my electric bill, $315.15 and also car tags registration $161.03. I have contact St Vincent DePaul, I got help a month and a half ago. They can’t help me, also called the CAPE, they are not taking application until the end of October thru November.
I only get one check a month of $952.00, I broke before I even get paid. I no family that will help! I lost my fiancée 15 months ago. It traumatized me. I am struggling with all the bills that I can’t pay...
If you can help at Saint Vincent Depaul or send me referral that would be lovely.

My family is homeless, and we have been for 3 months'. I Recently got a Voucher from St. Vincent DePaul, for $120 FOR 3 days at True vine hotel, in Henderson KY. I thank them so much. I'm asking for more help to pay for our room here. Because I have Apartment inline on the first of September. I'm asking for help to pay for are room until then. If we can't get help, we will be staying in our truck, with a broken window. We don't have no gas to keep moving. I'm reaching out. In the Name of Jesus. Thank you. Henderson KY.

St. Vincent may be able to help. But there are other charities and furniture banks to try too. In fact a number of assistance programs are out there. You can find them here, on our site which lists free furniture from charities. We doubt they can give you enough for a 2 bedroom house, but maybe the basics can be met.

I do have a job my girlfriend lives with me and is working part time and going to school and my 2 children live with me as well. We live in a 2 bedroom house and all the bills are so high that we can't catch up with any of them. We need items for our 2 bedroom home, including furniture.

Sorry about that. My state is Oregon. I read more about what St. Vincent DePaul offers and they no longer give assistance over the phone. On top of that you have to take proof of lease and apartment info in with you and, I'm not on the lease. My parents have helped for this month. Reluctantly. Lots of fighting, name calling and tears but they are unable to help anymore. I'm sure we will need help next month as, my partner should be going back to work but her checks will be delayed greatly and my full income will go to just our rent leaving nothing for any other bill or even food. However she will be out of jail by then and can go into any agency herself.
Things get complicated since I have a felony that prevents me from renting anywhere... Making living hard... Seeing that you must have a home or else you go back to jail, jail that got you BS titles that prevent you from getting housing to begin with... Etc. Living in a catch 22, and with major mental disabilities it just causes too many problems all around...
I have personally tried getting whatever help I can from St. Vincent DePaul several times in the past, to no avail... I'm constantly talked down to and continuously hung up on, usually before they even say hello... And funds are never there.
While I'm disabled and receive SSI and SSDI. My disability agency never helps and will always find a reason why they can't help... This is the story with every agency put in place to help... I'm not homeless. Haven't been homeless long enough. The homelessness isn't the right kind of homelessness. Not pregnant. Don't have kids. Sexually assaulted and being stalked by my rapist, can't help because I'm... Fill in the blank...
I need help. I've needed help... There is nothing available for me.
Then statistics state suicide rates... People wonder why people are homeless or killing themselves... Take a long look at the agencies that are in place that are supposed to help people and then look at who they really help.
There's a place for assault/domestic violence victims... (A place I don't qualify for because I don't have children and I'm not pregnant.)... The women that use the resources for this place, abuse the system. That was all the women in jail talked about... Whenever they need money they go in to get a domestic violence grant and make up stories, sometimes even using someone else's urine to show proof of pregnancy.
People that really need help are unable to receive help and those getting it are abusing the system.
I'm sorry about my rant... It's just really upsetting trying to survive... And when you try to get help you are denied, yet you watch others constantly take advantage of help they don't necessarily need while you're just constantly kicked to the curb. It's exhausting.

the Society of St. Vincent will require a home visit. Someone will drop by to see you and your mother...see living conditions, interview with what you need, financial resources, savings, etc. This is a standard process from that charity. But find more details on the St. Vincent de Paul in Indianapolis.
