I would recommend applying for assistance with both The Salvation Army and Catholic Community Services. There may be other rental assistance programs available in your area, and to find them go online to 211.org or call 211. Some programs require a notice to vacate in order to qualify for assistance, so make sure you have all your papers together before going to any place when applying for help. Here's a link to a page which includes these and few other ideas and their respective websites. I hope something will be of some help! Blessings, Cat
Finding Financial Assistance and Avoiding Scams
I want to start by saying bless your heart for raising those kids. As for the utility and rent assistance, what have you looked into and applied for? Have you applied for any assistance thru the utility company itself? They often have a small one time family grant available, in addition to a discount for services for those with disabilities/seniors/low income. If you haven't already I would also encourage you to apply with LIHEAP. It may take awhile but it will certainly be helpful come winter. The Salvation Army also assists with both rent and utilities, but you have to call and make an appointment at the beginning of the said month. There are a few other ideas and resources you may want to check out on the page i've linked below as well. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me! Blessings to you and your family! Cat
Hi, Are you receiving the disability discount through your utility company? If not, go to the utility company's customer solutions department and apply asap. They also often have additional assistance programs, like a one time family grant. In my area it pays $150. It may not cover everything but it's a start. Also, have you ever applied for LIHEAP? That's another good place to get your foot in the door, especially for the winter time. There are additional places like the Salvation Army and Catholic Community Services which offer utility assistance and rental help as well. The link included below covers all of those resources as well as some additional ones, and there are links to each of the websites as well posted there. With all of that said, what are your medical problems if you don't mind me asking? I am interested simply because I struggle with two auto immune diseases and a spine condition, so I can relate. I too am on SSDI, so if you have any other questions or would like to chat some time and just vent, I am here most every day. I will also include my blog on chronic illness ... you may be interested, maybe not, but thought it was worth a mention. I really hope things begin to look up! Blessings, Cat
P.S. Have you requested a payment plan and extension with your utility company? If you haven't spoken with them regarding your situation it may be of some help. I've been in the same position in the past and was able to call them and arrange a later payment 2 weeks past when the service was going to be shut off. Just a thought :)

Perhaps something on this page will be of help to you ... Finding Financial Assistance and Avoiding Scams. If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message. I am sure you're overwhelmed and scared right now, but keep the faith, as things will fall into place as long as you keep trying. Getting assistance can be tough, but doable .. you just have to be persistent and patient .. easier said than done when it feels like your whole world is falling apart I know. Do you get food assistance and Medicaid? If not, i would suggest applying for both asap. Sounds like it would be helpful to have some sort of health coverage and state assistance would do just that. Plus, once you're in the system you will be eligible for other help like free cell phone and landline. Every little bit counts! Blessings to you and your fiancee, Cat
I have been on disability for a short while and had hard times in trying to pay my bills. I have alot of medical problems. I had paid my electric bill and they applied it to the deposit of 800 that they charged me for the deposit so that leaves me with a balance 300 on just thart bill alone. They are going to disconnect this sat if it is not paid. Please help me in anyway you can. I would really thank you from the bottom of my heart ,God Bless
