I heard there are places to help pay rent if you test positive for COVID… Does anyone know if that’s true? If so, who do I reach out too, and how can I find out? Thanks.

I would reach out to Cabinet for families or children or whoever your state uses to file for foodstamps. They would be most knowledgeable on assistance

Yes some states have programs. Mostly ran through housing authority and state ran programs. I know here in Washington state we do. Contact your local housing authority as well as dshs

Prob 211 if it exists

Probably depends on where you live. It’s definitely not a national program.

I saw today that you should apply for emergency assistance with your county if you need rent assistance.

United way 211 and they can assist you with finding local assistance in your area

Check with your State Labor Board. You may qualify for unemployment benefits

I would go down the list calling numbers start w 211 which is your local chapter of united way then move on to salvation army and your local public aide office. Someone has to know something about there being some kind of help w rental assistance. It’s just a matter of getting in touch with the right place. Good luck.

Your local town office first. And you could apply for emergency housing assistance through NH Housing. Or your town housing authority. Additional most churches have funds to help people with bills and rent and stuff. But to do anything you start with your town and fill out an application.

You need to check with your state. Some states are offering that assistance.
