Hi this Minly. I would like want to know how I apply. To payments, gas , water, electricity bills.
I need help with my rent, my landlord said he would do section 8 for me! Is this where I go too?
I need help with rent and my electric bill. My mother in law is blind and on a oxygen tank 24/7. I can not work because she needs 24 hr care.
My house got condemned today and to my understanding it got condemned because the landlord didn't take proper care of the current black mold issues and the rental company has now left us homeless. I have a family of 4 with pets and i need emergency housing so my family doesn't get split up me and my kid's are staying with a relative my fiance is with his and our animals are forced to be left alone after 5pm till our belongings are out i need dire emergency assistance as soon as possible
I would like to get emergency assistance with you guys because I can really use the help because I am homeless, staying from place to place and I am tired of living this way and I just got out of prison March 16, 2020 and I went through you guys back in 2007 or 2008 and I got approved for the emergency assistance and all I had to do was find a landlord but I couldn't at the time,please can you all help me and I left a voicemail with someone do to the Corona virus.
I need help with this month rent due to Corona Virus Lost my job my husband got laid off due to Corona Virus. I applied for unemployment and have not received no money what so ever. Please help my rent is $750.00
I have 24hrs left in a weekly stay. No money to pay for another week. I am in between jobs with no income coming in at the moment. I really need some help I don't want to be homeless and just want a stable place to live that is affordable for me.
Im disabled and am looking to find out where I can get help with my rent. My landlord had mentioned that he would accept section 8 for me. Where can I sign up for that?
I've been trying to sign up over a week; how do i input my information i was told i qualify.
What about landlord who need assistance? Tenant who don't want to communicate with landlord owes 8 months rent, and doesn't offer u any payment. And won't move out.
How do i go about getting a cash payment or money order to my landlord. So i dont get a five day notice. I have kids who come on the weekends i need a place for them to come.
I have been out of work for the last two months and need rent assistance.
