Hello...I am looking for an inexpensive apartment in the Mesa/Tempe, Arizona area for my mother. She is on S.S., is in her late 60's, on AHCCCS and doesn't make very much...Below nine hundred a month. She has one dog, a Shih-Tzu, who weighs less that ten pounds. She is on the Section 8 list, but it could take a long time before she can get into a place-up to two years. I am hoping to find a nice, clean apartment for her and her dog Bailey, that is close to Tempe where I reside. She currently lives in East Mesa, and I would like to help her find a place that is closer to family. The trailer she is living in now is old/not in good condition. I am just wondering if there is something out there for older people, who don't make very much on their retirement, that the rent accomidates to what they get monthly? If anyone can tell me of any place like this, let me know? If you may have a condo. that you would like to rent out? My mother is a very clean(OCD type clean) person, she smokes but does so outside only, and her dog is her shadow. She will abide by all rules and regulations. It must be on ground level as she has health problems(back/disk problems,Fibro.)which make it difficult for her to go up many steps.
Please respond if you or you know of someone that has something that may be willing to rent out an apartment or condo./townhouse/patio home and my mother may be able to help you out also. Let me know! And I thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

Hello All, I am a single 55 disabled female, living in Massachusetts. I have just been told by my local housing authority that as of yesterday I am at the top of the list for the State-Aided Massachusetts Rental Vouchers program (MRVP). I have been in the top 3 on the list for the State Aided Chapter 667 elderly/handicapped program as well for the last 2 months, and have been waiting for an avaliable unit. I would much prefer to be subsidized through a MRVP voucher than a Project Based Subsidy. Difference is, with a MRVP I can live anywhere within the state and secure housing through private sources instead of living in a Public Housing situation. My question is....
If the State Aided Chapter 667 elderly/handicapped comes through first can I refuse it and wait for the MRVP instead without being put to the bottom of both lists ? My local housing authority seemed to dance around my question. Thank you in advance for your input.

If you ask a church they may help. I am sorry you are having such a hard time. I wish I could help instead of asking people for help. It will be ok. I will pray that you find a way.

I desperatly need help with rent before my daughter and i are evicted. I live in Tacoma washington. Please please help!!!!

If you currently reside in Cobb County Georgia and need rental assistance, please refer to the contact information below.

Iam an honest person making an honest plea for help!I was fortunate that my landlady gave me till monday to come up with $1800.00 are else me and my kids would be homeless.Iam a single,unemployed mother of five children.I have contacted every organization I can think of for help,but to no avail.Iam desperate and would like to make a humble plea for help.I have a PayPal account under m.price2378@yahoo.com.I would be grateful for the smallest donation to put me one step closer to avoid being homeless.I am looking for work and making every effort to help myself.Things are hard,and i hate being in the position to beg for help.Even if you can't offer a monetary donation,I welcome any suggestions since I have run out of options.Thank You in advance for your support!!God Bless

Well It's been almost 2 months since my husband up rooted our little family to move from a stable situation in Louisiana back home to Wisconsin. He has a decent job but not as much pay or as many hours so we aren't seeing any money... We have a high child support payment for our two step-daughters (I love them and don't mind paying, just some times it hurts ;-() We don't have any money and had to get on food stamps and badger care.... But the biggest thing is all the low-income housing I have looked into has 1 and/or 2 bedrooms available but a family of 5 has to be in a 3 bedroom... I can-not continue to stay with my parents!!! I just want to set down and cry!! I feel out of options! Without money for deposit and then If I get help on deposit will I be able to make rent Idk what to do and this Burdon is hurting my emotional and mental health so much!!!!

I need help with some place to stay. I have trying to get a divorce from my husband after 30 years of marriage. I stayed for the kids but my son is now 21. There is no reason for my husband to tell me that I am leaving my kids or splitting my family. He has kept me in the house like a mouse in a cage. I could never go out visit family except my mother. He made sure I never had money. He has his own vices for medicated himself i am so tired of it. though my whole marriage I have done everything to hurt myself. I guess to to feel that pain and not the pain he inflicted on me. I have no job. I cannot work because I had surgery and have had serious complications after the surgery. All he does is scream at me; but i scream back now. my kids who are older now say that I am instigating the situation by voicing my opinion. I have shut up for 30 years. I am a volcano about to erupt on him. Because I have no job I also have no money. I cannot get an apartment because who am i fooling. I cannot afford to pay rent! I have no where to go. My family or what is left of them Literally hate him. I think they hate me too for staying with him. He is verbally abusive. twist everything we talk about to make it sound like I start the problems. He is a con man that is what i call him. He tell everyone. I am the bad person in this marriage. but the only reason we been together this long was for the kids. Now they are older. My daughter is not independent. She is very dependent on us. Him for money. Me for moral and all other support. Yes I stayed also because I have no place to go. But now I am serious about the divorce. but did not think about what happens after. like where do I go. how do i pay rent, since I cannot work because of my physical and mental injuries. Believe me you do acquire alot of mental injuries staying in a relationship that is emotional damaging.

Hi,
My friend is in dire need of assistance to pay her rent this month. She is trying to get her life back in track and is running into many roadblocks. She's tried a few agencies but the only way they can help her is if she gets an eviction notice or has one served. Hello??? That is what she's trying to avoid! Any advice on where I can direct her? Oh, she is living in Reynoldsburg OH

My children and I are in desperate need of some financial assistance. To make a long story short, I recently lost my job and we had to move back in with my parents because we could not afford to be on are own. My mother and I have never really seen eye to eye but I thought it would be best to try and make this as enjoyable as it could be while we had to live there. It has now almost been a year and lately things have gotten really bad. Last month we got into 2 arguments and both of them, rather then try and talk things out my parents through my children and myself out of the house. This past time my 8 year old son and I slept in our car at the truck stop for 3 days. I was trying to explain how I feel and she blew up and then my father picked up a chair and started coming toward myself and my daughter. Again they through us out and this time called the police on us for taking our van with us because my father gave it to us after my car died that he told me to get rid of even though I had a friend who was going to fix it very cheap. Who does this kind of thing to their children, epecially their grandchildren! My kids mean the world to me and I need to get them out of this house. They are effected by everthing that is going on and has happened that my daughter is never home anymore. I have been actively looking for a job and know that I will find one soon because I do have a very qualified resume but we don't have that kind of time. We need out of there NOW! We really need help with the first and last months rent so that we can move immediately. I know I will find employment so we will be okay after that, I just don't have the time to find a job and wait to get paid and save that kind of money. It coud take months and all I keep thinking about is the look on my daughters face when my father picked that chair up and what if next time he does hit us with it. I can't afford to take that chance. If anyone can help or knows any agency that can PLEASE email me right away. Even if I have to take out a loan somewhwere, I don't care. I am going back to school in the fall and will have some left over school money to help pay it back so I am not worried, I just need it before then. If you know anyone who can help my family I would greatly appreciate it. I need first months rent and last months, and would like enough to get the utilities hooked up too then by the time anything is due again I should be employed. Unfortunatley, rent in our community runs between $600.00 and $800.00 so I was looking for around $2000.00 so I can pay up the utilities as well. I understand that today everyone is struggling to make ends meet and anything anyone can do to help would be greatly appreciate it. Like I said even if I have to pay it back. Please, I know you do not know my entire life story but trust me when I tell you that my children have been through enough hurt in their lives and they do not need anymore pain.

I am in need of housing for my children and I. I am currently renting a single room from a women for the three of us. This was supposed to be temporary but then my hours were cut at work I am now down to two days a week and I'm struggling to survive. I don't have transportation which makes employment in my area very difficult. I have tried govt assistance which locally is a joke. I need to relocate to an area where I could ride a bike to work. I currently live in hammock beach Fl. I want to stay in Flagler county however there is a two year waiting list for housing assistance which is currently not even accepting applications. My girls and I are desert to start over and I am looking for help to get into an apartment in the Flagler beach area so that I could seek better employment. I have made a few bad choices and have struggled to get on my feet again while I have come a long way my location,current housing situation and my job situation are a real road block at this point. If any one can help or direct me on my next move I would appreciate your comments, thank you.

Re: Homeless assistance after 1 1/2 years of being homeless

 

In Sept 09, the HPRP program went into effect.  I have been denied 4 times now in over 1 1/2 years

My family lost our home in April 2010. Since then we lived in the streets and I paid for a motel when I could afford one. After six evictions in a year in 2009‑2010, nobody would rent to me...I don't blame them.  Although I must have applied for hundreds of apartments over the last 12 months, I was continuously denied.

Last month an acquaintance of mine introduced me to his uncle who had a vacancy in his apartment building.   My son and I finally moved into a one bedroom apartment after 14 hellish months of living in the streets.

So, now, over a year later, I got into my first apartment.  The day I was approved to move in, I called Casa Esperanza to schedule an appointment to meet for funding.  I knew that without it, I would lose my home once again. I sold my old Honda for $600, borrowed $380, and got into the apartment on May 18, 2011.  My appointment with Casa Esperanza wouldn't be until 13 days later, on May 31, 2011.

I went in for my HPRP funding request on May 31, 2011.  Because I got into the apartment and did not wait for my appointment, I was again denied rental assistance.  And the social worker said to me, "Why didn't you wait?"  She must not have ever slept on the train tracks before!  I am asking for help to stay into my home.  I am so frightened of losing it again; I am making myself sick with worry. So, now that I’ve been in this home for one month, and I didn’t have all the rent, my landlord officially served me an eviction notice.

I have been instructed to go back to Transition House AFTER I receive another eviction notice, that I won't be eligible to get assistance until I have an eviction notice in hand.  I find this so backwards and completely ludicrous. I need your help.  My rent is now due tomorrow, and I don't have the rent money.  If I wait to get another eviction notice, I know that the landlord will follow through and get me to move out...and then my child and I will AGAIN, be homeless with no hope of finding a a place to live any time soon.  It seems that the local organizations in charge of HPRP are doing absolutely anything in their power to turn down eligible clients.  I am not the only prime example.  I know a dozen other women who have been denied assistance by these same organizations.

I have been court ordered to disclose to all prospective landlords, of my 5 previous evictions.  I was in jail from January 21 to February 28 because of this. My (minor) son was left homeless and living in his car during my incarceration.  Finding another home will be virtually impossible.  Prior to this last month, when I wasn't incarcerated,  I stayed at a Motel since January 2011 for $39.99 a night.  Their rates just went up to $98.00 a night.  This is no longer an option.

On another note, I was officially approved for Section 8 housing last September 2010, but they also have yet to release any vouchers for me in order to get affordable housing.  I am at my wits end and don't know where else to turn.  Please help me.  I just can't do this anymore.  

Sincerely,   Helen Kramer

$800 away from homelessness and need help. I've tried earning the money. I've tried raising the money. But it doesn't seem to be enough. I’m tired of websites offering single mom grants that don’t exist, single mother assistance that doesn’t deliver. I’ve applied for public assistance and I don’t qualify. I’ve appealed to the Salvation Army and similar programs in the community and they either don’t offer the assistance, don’t have funding or require you to be unemployed and living in a shelter to qualify for assistance. Most often when you live in a shelter, you can’t work or own a car. What’s a mother to do?? Take the kids out of school and quit work? That hardly seems like a reasonable answer.

I am a 34 year old married mother of 1 7 year old boy. My family and I have fell on hard times. We have been trying to keep afloat for the past 6-7 months. I lost my job almost 2 years ago. Finding a job was proving to be very difficult, so I went back to school. My husband has been a direct sales contractor for about 8 years now. My unemployment ran out in January, and my husbands contract had started going downhill around October of last year. His job is 100% commission, and his sales were coming less and less as people tighten their belt to cut expenses. We have not been able to pay our rent in the last 4 months. My husband has been still trying to make sales, as well as mowing lawns, doing odd and end work for people, and I have been pan handling. Pan handling is so degrading to one self esteem, but we needed money to pay rent, as well as out other expenses. We are currently driving with no insurance, my husband took a title loan out on his car a few months back, and is now at risk of losing it. My son has outgrown his clothes and shoes, and is having a hard time with kids at school that are teasing him, and that breaks my heart. I went to Social Services. They gave us food stamps, however they cannot help with our rent, as we are $5215.00 behind on our rent, our landlord-a blessing-has not files an eviction notice becasue they realize that times are hard for everyone, and we send them what we can when we can, so Social Service said that they would have to evict us, and then they would only be able to help with $900.00 We would not be able to get the rest of the money together before the eviction date, so I am looking for other avenues that we might qualify for, for some type of assistance. If anyone knows of places, organizations and or people who are looking and or willing to help people, please pass along their info. Thank you so much for reading my post, and good luck to everyone else that hard times have fell on.
