How do I apply for financial rent assistance and help to pay bills rent
Hello, I’m writing in. Since the pandemic we been fortunate to be able to pay rent but we live check to check with 3 kids. I am currently pregnant with twins. They are wanting to come early so I’m currently in the hospital . I applied for sdi but i know it’ll take a while before everything gets approved and I get paid. So my family is down to one income . My husband works for a small business that does not offer sick pay or vacations and he’s been here with me since we almost thought the twins were coming. I was hoping I can get help for 2 months to pay rent and I think after that we should be ok back check to check but it’s better then no money and rent not paid. If someone can help guide me to apply for rental assistance my family and I will be very grateful and thankful. All I need help with is 2 months rent.
I’m living at my friends apartment in his living room and he is on section 8 and he has been told he can’t have me or anyone staying in his apartment and I don’t have money for a motel room, help me find housing.
