Does anyone know of any organizations for people about to be homeless before its too late?

My mom had a good job for 9yrs and then she stopped being paid on time. She had MS so looking for another job was out of the question. She needed to go onto disability. She stuck with the job as long as she could. But it was too late, she was now way behind in all her bills and 3 months behind in rent. So we got evicted.



My two brothers tried to get a job with no luck. So we moved to TN, where rent is cheaper and jobs are more abundant. One of my brothers got a job 2 months after we moved, but its not enough to support us all. My mom is getting temp. disability. And my other brother is still looking for a job, but has no diploma, so its hard.



We are living in hotels but about to run out of money. Renters do credit checks and background checks. And we fail cuz of bankruptcy and eviction. And all low income housing has a 6 month waiting list.



Im not allowed to be admitted to school because I need proof of residence, and I want to go to school and college =[



Know any1 who can help us?

There are no programs to help you with the evictions on your mothers record.



I am sorry, but she made bad choices and these are the consequences of the choices she made.



I know where the school is coming from, however, social services will help you enroll in the school near the hotel that you live in. There are lots of kids who live in hotels. They are still entitled to an education.



You need to call social services, they will help you get child support from your father and welfare while you are waiting on that. They can also supply food stamps and help you get into school. Your mother does not qualify for housing because of the past evictions.



It is hard to find numbers there.



Call this person at the school district office and ask how you should enroll: 893-5815 ext. 22010



For your other needs 898-7739



I think that second one might pass you around, but you have to start somewhere.



Once you are in school the school councilor will be able to help you find resources, including college tuition.

There has to be a place that will give you immediate housing help. Here in Buffalo there is AT LEAST 4 agencies that give immediate vouchers to stay in hotels or to help find an apartment. It sounds like you really need the help, and it should be out there. Perhaps you could visit a social worker who could help you find these agencies and get you signed up ASAP. Props to trying to help out your mom and family!
Have you turned to church(s) and make a request. what does the homeless shelter have to say for assistance. With all the new construction I would assume you could be a day labor on construction jobs, waitress at local diner, be active think positive.



Best of luck to you and your family
Good finance question! I know of an organization that gives up to $1500 to people to help them with their rent or mortgage. It's available in most US cities, I highly suggest you check it out.
