In general, churches have fewer resources than some other non-profits. This means that funding for paying costs such as back rent, storage, or a security deposit will be very limited. In addition the locations will generally only help tenants that have no other resources available. So tenants that have an eviction letter, that have applied for rental assistance at other charities and social service offices, may be able to turn to a local church or other groups as a last resort.
Based on need and funding available, the emergency help may come in the form of a loan to pay rent or grant, which will not need to be repaid. Each Jefferson County Missouri agency will have their terms and conditions, as well as method of payment, when it comes to issuing any help for paying rental arrears.
