Judi58, renters assistance is handled through your caseworker at your Social Service office. If you have applied for food stamps or medicaid, the caseworker assigned to you will be able to help you with all the documentation you need for that. I don't know how much each state's benefit is, but that's where it is available. Good Luck.

Thank you.. I went there.. They told me they would help with 187 a month.. I am in So Cal.. I asked them to find me an apt for that.. I actually live in a rent control apt for 840.00 that is LOW for here...
I have been here 17 years.... Social Services has turned me down for everything... I am going back to fight for food stamps.. I am lucky my x husband stepped in to help and I sold my car.. roof for at least 2 more months.. then I hope I will get my school loan I went back to school if not for that. I would be on the street OR dead... I do not believe we will ever see a extension for 99ers.. Sorry guys...
The house will never help becasue then they will have to admit the REAL UI # and they will never do that..

Think I will change from judi58 to nohope.. or donecaring Very Happy

I am with you, Judi. In RI there is NO help, other than SNAP, if you are single, no children under 18 and not disabled. I get nothing at all other than food stamps, which were cut at my last re-evaluation in March because I received help from my family. Now that will end - two of my sisters, both teachers for 25+ years will be losing their jobs at the end of the school year.

Forget about Medicaid, I'm not eligible. I have had not health insurance for over three years now. The COBRA subsidy wasn't available when I got laid off.

I'm looking around my house right now to see what I can sell in order to buy a decent tent to live in.
