Me and my children are homeless as of today and have no where to go or money to stay anywhere. I have been trying to reach out to all the agencies possible looking for help and have turned in applications for section 8 but they do not have emergency housing. I have been trying to get something done about this landlord that has been harassing me and committing fraud and refused to allow us to rent even if we paid rent, and the judge allowed this knowing I am disabled with severe mental illness with chronic medical conditions and have nowhere to go with my children and no money to stay anywhere. I am now sleeping in my car with my son and I still cannot get help.

How do I qualify for emergency housing I’m in need of a place I have 2 kids been staying in a expensive intown hotel with my mom and other siblings it’s costing us a lot and I’m helping as well I only have 1 source of income for one of my kids.
I and my wife are in need of emergency housing, we have been homeless for about 10 yrs. Currently we are in a shelter (Tiny Homes) where they are supposed to help. However, we we’re offered a room in a shared living home. After refusing, desiring a home for ourselves where our children can visit. We where reminded that our income is low because there is no voucher and were given 30 days or get out of the shelter and back to the street. Where and how could I apply for a voucher / emergency housing?
We are homeless staying in a vehicle my dad threw us out and fema told us we had to get out of the fema trailer because my dad called fema and told them to get it off his property so fema had the trailer moved off his property so we have anywhere to go so we have been living in the vehicle. I have called and emailed every assistance program and they don’t even give me a call or response back. My boyfriend has had open heart surgery and he has applied for his disability and got denied. I am blind in my left eye and diabetes and 3rd stage kidney disease and failure. I have been praying and praying and asking for prayers for my boyfriend and I have been waiting to receive any information about where we will find out if we can get anything done about our situation. I just got out of the hospital two days ago I have had a nervous breakdown and I fell recently and bruised my back and ribs really badly. So I have tried to call Salvation Army and American Red Cross and they said they could not help us. So I don’t know anything we can do about it so we will live in a vehicle. We have called everyone we know and they told us that they would not be able to help us

Good Day. My name is Kellie and i seriously need your help or at least a point in the right direction for me and my family.
In 2019 we became homeless after the death of my mother in law. We started working with Sacramento Steps Forward and did everything they wanted. When the Pandemic hit we were fortunate to be placed in a motel for our safety for the duration and we were told we would get permanent housing as the next step. We complied with everything for over 2 years. No problems and no violations. We worked with i believe 4 housing navigators and they would each leave the job and we would start over with a new one. After the 4th navigator left we never heard from anyone. Frustrated, i called 211 and was told that yes we were in the CoC with approval of PSH for 2 years and that we did have a navigator. He told me it was someone that we never met andhe didn’t have a number. I gave all the info to the manager of the program at the hotel and was told, 'great, we will get this handeld for you." The hotel finally did move us over to a program still run by STEPs while they figured it out. Fast forward 18 months and still nothing. We have been trying to pay full rent, where everyone else here is on a voucher. That part is very hard because im diaabled recieving SSDI and my spouse is my care giver. We are about to be evicted with no insight on what to do next. I called 211 again and was told exactly ver batim what i heard from them 18 months ago.
Please note i am not blaming anyone for our situation. I understand people leave jobs and life happens. I would also note that we are truly grateful for everything these agencies provided and did for us. So now what? HELP PLEASE!
