Hi,

Will u please provide me with specific programs that can help me pay my rent?

Im not doing well financially and my boss just informed me that she is letting me go. I dont have any savings at all. Im scared out of my mind, with only one concern: how will i pay my rent?

I live in Jersey City, New Jersey and I cannot find all information on how i can help myself until I came across this website.

I clicked on the housing vouchers section on your website but it did not lead to any other information. My city does not take any more application for section 8 since 2000. So my option seems to be the vouchers.

Please please provide me with the steps i need to start this process immediately.

Im desperately in need of help as I have no money to pay next month's rent.

Thank you and i hope to hear from u soon,

While never certain whether someone can or can't get rent help, you need to call. And here are some agencies for Longview and Gregg County Texas.
http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... rogra.html

For example, he may want to try the Greater East Texas Community Action Program (GETCAP) at (903) 758-5674. This agency offers numerous rent programs, assistance, counseling, and other forms of aid to low income people and those who need help.

We have a ton of information and agencies listed for Georgetown and Williamson Texas. Many places will help you find a stable home or apartment. Talk to your water company for sewage and power company for help on electricity bills. And find other Williamson financial assistance programs and agencies, such as The Caring Place (512) 869-4735 or Williamson-Burnet County Opportunities.

Hello. I am a daughter of a cancer patient who is trying to help her mother pay her rent of $750.00 from what the eviction letter was stated that she owed of she had to be out soon. My mother, sister, fiance, my 4 year old daughter, and myself stay in the house also. My mother is unable to work due to having cancer treatments all the time and being too ill. As for myself and my fiance, we do work but like everyone else, we have our own bills. This is the time where we are not able to pay the $750.00. We need all the help we can get and I've tried everywhere. I'm just asking for a little loan if possible or a little help! Times are tough, but there will always be a brighter day. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a blessed day!

We do not provide loans. We only provide information on charities, churches, and social service programs to call for help with rent. Find a summary here. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/get ... _rent.html We do know some non-profits do focus on people with cancer, so look into those. If your mother is old enough maybe she can qualify for senior rent assistance programs too.

Hello,
I found your website by "googling" and I need your help!!!! I somehow misplaced my rent money and this has never happened to me before. I'm a single man, recently released on parole in Oklahoma City and I'm trying to do the right thing by working, keeping way from trouble and moving into my own apartment. My rent is $415 a month, and I was saving my checks as I got paid and yesterday I lost the $300 I had saved up for my rent. I've looked everywhere and I think I may have left it at a local convenience store. I went back to the store but of course the wallet wasn't there. If you can or know someone who can assist me, I don't want the rent money paid directly to me but make payable to the apartments I'm living in.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Sincerely,

I have been given the round around, but am looking for rent assistance for my sister in Hilliard Ohio. She has been off work with a broken leg (she had surgery last week) and she had her knee replaced. She desperately needs help with her November rent. She has a job at Wal Mart and is allowed to return to work in about 2 weeks. Can you please help her with her November rent. The apartment community is not willing to work with her in paying this when she can. Thanks you so much.

My fiancee and I just moved out here with our almost one year old son and are currently living with my fiancees brother, his girlfriend, and their two kids. I am also currently 4 months pregnant. My spouse just recently found a part time job but unfortunately his brother just lost his full time job and my spouses part time job is not enough to cover rent, which is due March 5. If it is not paid by tomorrow they will begin the eviction process. I would just like to know if there is anything we can do to pay rent or maybe get my spouse and I into low income apartments. Please let me know ASAP! Please and thank you. God bless.
