Dear Sharla,

I am so sorry to hear about your situation . It sounds like you have been through a lot, and I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for you. Please know that there are resources available to help you.

Here are some suggestions for finding housing assistance:

  1. Contact the Hemet Housing Authority: They offer affordable housing programs and may be able to provide you with information on emergency housing assistance.
  2. Contact the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services: They offer a variety of services including rental assistance, food assistance, and medical assistance.
  3. Look into the Homeless Assistance Program: They offer case management services to help you find housing and access other resources.
  4. Contact local churches and other religious organizations: Many churches have programs to assist the homeless and may be able to provide you with shelter or other forms of assistance.

It may also be beneficial to speak with a professional who can offer support for your emotional well-being. Here are some resources to consider:

  • Riverside University Health System - Behavioral Health: They offer services to individuals in the Riverside County area.
  • Hemet Valley Recovery Center & Sage Retreat: They offer support to individuals struggling with addiction and emotional issues.
  • Riverside County Department of Mental Health: They provide a variety of services, including crisis intervention and counseling.

I hope that these resources are helpful to you. If you need further assistance, you can also contact the United Way 211 resource. Additionally, we have an article on our blog that might be really helpful: Homeless Assistance: What Should You Do?.
