WOW! Reading some of the ordeals other individuals face allows me to view I am not alone. I am a 50-year-old female; raised my children alone for the past ten years after their father passed. This effort required me to work two jobs all these years. Now at this age, I am attempting to seek a degree of my own. I have suffered with leg pain for a few years now, but assumed it was due to waiting tables, and the amount of time I was on my feet each day. Recently, then forced to seek emergency room treatment for swelling in my leg, with excruciating pain. It was determined I have PAD (peripheral artery disease). Test shows there is no blood circulating through my right leg. The downfall of working as a server, there are no medical benefits, and if you do not work, you are not paid. I desperately need assistance paying my rent for this month. My stress level is high, due to the possibilities of the impact this disease could have on my health; and not having a roof over my head. Any avenues I could explore would be total blessings. Thanks for your time.

Emergency Rental Assistance Program

The District of Columbia Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) helps low-income District residents facing housing emergencies. The program provides funding for overdue rent if a qualified household is facing eviction (including late costs and court fees). The program also supports security deposits and first month’s rent for residents moving to new homes.

ERAP serves low-income DC households with children, elderly households (age 60 or older), and people with disabilities. The amount paid on behalf of eligible families depends on a household’s income and available resources, and is subject to certain limitations. ERAP payments can only be used once per year for each eligible household.

Fill out the Housing Choice Voucher application as completely and accurately as possible and return it to New Hampshire Housing at the address listed below.

You will receive a confirmation letter stating the approximate length of time before you will be able to receive assistance. If you do not receive that letter in two weeks, please call our office, 1-800-439-7247, extension 9266. Due to the high volume of calls, it may take extra time for someone to return your call. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Eligibility is not determined when we receive your application. When we have vouchers available we will notify you and will verify your information at that time. Important: If you do not update your address with us if you move, we will be unable to contact you when vouchers become available and we will have to inactivate your file. You will then need to reapply.

The estimated waiting time for a voucher is based on the number of people on the waiting list, the availability of vouchers and an applicant's preference status. For a majority of applicants, this could mean an estimated waiting time of 6 to 8 years before your name reaches the top of the list.

Please note: this is just an estimate. The actual wait time could be longer or shorter.

HOW TO QUALIFY FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE

To qualify for the Housing Choice Voucher Program, a household must:

1.  Have an annual income that does not exceed those limits published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). (When determining income eligibility, Gross Income is used.)

2.  Provide verification of Social Security Numbers for all household members age 6 and older or certify that they do not have Social Security numbers. These documents may be submitted at the time of application or when vouchers become available. 

3.  Meet HUD requirements on immigration or citizenship status.

4.  Pay any money owed to New Hampshire Housing or any other housing authority.

5.  Not be subject to lifetime sex offender registration requirements.

7.  Not have any household members who are engaged in any criminal activity that threatens the life, health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.

8.  Not have any household member who is engaged in any drug-related or violent criminal activity.

1.  The unit must pass a Housing Quality Standards inspection.

2.  The landlord must agree to participate in the program. 

3.  The rent must be determined by the Housing Authority to be reasonable.

If you do not live in a unit that qualifies when you reach the top of the waiting list, you will have sixty (60) days to locate housing that does qualify.

I recently moved to the Northeast from the Deep South about three months ago. I am a freelance writer by trade, however due to the recent downturn in the economy my writing contracts have dried up. With my saving depleted I had to sell my car to pay the rent. That money has been depleted as well, now I have less than 7 days to pay the rent I owe or I will be evicted from my home. I am 1200 miles away from anyone I really know, and have no way to get back home.

I have been looking for a "real" job, and working very hard to also obtain more writing contracts. If I do not find some temporary help with the rent and am able to find a job with a steady income I will literally be sleeping on the streets. 

Although I do not like to ask for help, especially from strangers, I am at the end of my abilities to figure out what to do. If anyone out there can at least point me in the correct direction I would appricate it very much. I do not want to lose my home.
