Hi Bella,
Great of you to try to go back to work, re-entering the workforce, to try to pay the rent. It is so challenging and takes time. Since you did not state where, try this for rental assistance that may be in your community. As you will see it lists many local programs to apply at.

This is Bella. I was reaching out to ask about possible rent assistance. My boyfriend has been unemployed now for about a month. I have been desperately trying to get a job (as I was a stay at home mom), applying to more than 60-70 jobs so far after I had no success with two different temp agencies. I'm in the process of getting a job at a service provider store but the hiring process before I can even start training takes about a month and I only applied at the beginning of this month. I also have two interviews the following two days to find work to do in the meantime. Our rent for July was due the first of July and our landlord has given us until the 31st of July to pay it but given I haven't started any job yet;

Hey Jon,
This is Bella. I was reaching out to ask about possible rent assistance. My boyfriend has been unemployed now for about a month. I have been desperately trying to get a job (as I was a stay at home mom), applying to more than 60-70 jobs so far after I had no success with two different temp agencies. I'm in the process of getting a job at a service provider store but the hiring process before I can even start training takes about a month and I only applied at the beginning of this month. I also have two interviews the following two days to find work to do in the meantime. Our rent for July was due the first of July and our landlord has given us until the 31st of July to pay it but given I haven't started any job yet; I am worried we won't be able to pay our entire bill on time to be able to stay at our apartment. I am also the only one in our household who has their license and has a car so it's very difficult for us to both have jobs while having kids as well. I'm hoping that once I start working at one of these jobs, that I can get at least half of my rent before the month is over. Our rent is $455, but anything will help, if yawl can give us any assistance.

The woman renting my house at Memphis TN 38117, who is a stay at home mom, submitted a request for help from CSA a few weeks ago. She is currently 3 months behind in her rent which is $950 per month. Can you let me know what the status of her claim is?

Hello. I regret that I am contacting you but I am out of other options and I was told (by DHS) that maybe your group could help. My husband was laid off at the end of November. He normally starts plowing and working clearing snow by now but the weather isn't cooperating.
I have been a stay-at-home mom for 7 years with 3 children. I have been home because my 7 year old is autistic and needs extensive therapy and help. I am now finishing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and work at an internship 3 days a week and do course work the other days.
All of our bills are dangerously behind. The hours payment is late (will be $2000 on 1-1-16) and our second mortgage is even later ($900 on 1-1-16). We owe almost $900 on our electric bill (there appears to be something wrong with out furnace that is increasing our bill but we can't afford to get someone here to fix it), $160 on our gas bill, and the car I use to get to my internship just had its transmission go out on it (we're waiting to see how much that will be).
I'm not sure how we are ever going to pull out of this hole or if there is any real hope at this point. Please let me know if there is anything I can do or any help that you can point me to, I will be eternally grateful. Please contact me at any time by e-mail. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
