Do you offer emergency cash to pay for rent? And can it be paid back in payments?
I'm a single mom never in armed forces or with disability. Am I even eligable or where can I get help
I have lost my job two months ago because of the covid-19 pandemic. I am late on my utility on my rent.
Do you help with rent or a tax bill? I own my own business and lost a lot of clients still waiting in any government help although I applied as soon as COVID hit. I haven’t made my rent, car, car insurance and I own the IRS they need it immediately. So any help would help. Thank you, have a great day!
