Wow....There are tons of grants,emergency assistance,TANF cash ass. ,titleXX social services block grant,the list is long but the funds are gone! I have been on line litteraly for hours every night from the day we fled for safety and also working with a advocate from Family services and a network of people involved in my childrens services due to special needs....The best I was offered was 350.00 tward a deposit for a rental ,,,IT WAS A HUGE STEP and was so greatful to find the resource avail. but it fell thru because the rest of the funding was not in order. The next family in line gets it. Even the new Federal funds given out to states and county agencies to take a fast solution to growing homless or almost homless called the HOMLESS PREVENTION AND RAPID RE HOUSING PROJECT.....giving a substantial funding source to people in crisis loosing jobs and homes due to the economic issues we face allots millions of dollars to get homless people into homes ,paying move in cost rent ,bills,and all costs to get a family back on their feet continuing financial asst. on individual family needs for up to as long as 18 mo. The goal is to put families back on their feet so self sufficiency can be acomplished once the initial crisis is past. Also paying past due rents and bills and whatever a family may need to keep the home they have untill they can achieve self sufficency, The only problem is that the fedreal funds passed down to state then the state decides what "Group" of people it would be most helpfull to and in my state I was told that even tho I have an income I can use to become self suff. I do not qualify because I became homless due to a act of domestic violence and that the "group" it funds are homless persons that became or a in process of becoming homless due to the loss of wages or loss of a job! I can read the HUD guidelines and ,The HPRP fits exactly what I need and also says I DO QUALIFY but the state says different!I have tried everything I can find and would really be greatful if someone that understood theese funding grants and assistance could lead me in the right direction before My kids and I run out of time!!!!!!!
