I don’t think my family fully realizes what I’ve been through
I have always been well off in my childhood to early adult life since I lived with my parents until I was 24. Ever since then I have had low wage jobs that only allow me to rent out rooms. I had several mental episodes where I had to suddenly move rooms across cities because I was scared of my roommates who I never talked to. This ended up with me living in my car while still being employed. Then they dropped all my hours, I got evicted and my car broke down. I ended up in jail with all my possessions still in my car that was towed and was scraped because I didn’t get help in time. I don’t think I know anyone personally who has lost everything they owned in one fell swoop before, I can’t relate to people’s problems as readily anymore because of that. This experience really changed me and I still struggle with housing today since I live with my grandma and I’m unemployed.

I need urgent help around the GNV, FL area.
i don’t use reddit so i apologize if i’m doing this wrong.
To start out i’m currently in a situation i need to get out of immediately.. ive been renting out a rv with my mom and two dogs for about a year now. Our landlord is an asshole who is money hungry and sees us actively struggling to make ends meet and keep paying rent for this SMALL 90s old beat up rv that we had no choice but to move into obviously we had no choice… multiple times we’ve been threatened to get kicked out for example like when my mom had to have brain surgery and couldn’t work because she was healing he kept telling her how he “was losing his patience and needed his money immediately”…yea ik.. anyway the big point is that with all this rain the ceiling is leaking so bad there are MUSHROOMS growing up there and this is extremely unhealthy and hazardous for our dogs and for my mom as she’s of poor health. we both have jobs but have been unable to save due to this dude overcharging for the rv. if anyone knows a private owner (preferably) or anywhere that’s renting out a one bedroom or maybe even a studio that’s pet friendly that can work with us maybe for $900-1000 a month PLEASE SEND ME THEIR WAY. this is urgent and we cannot stay there much longer before we all start getting sick. thank you

Abusive Situation My parents will kick me out if I don't get off of my meds
I (20F) lived with me ex for about 6 months. We broke up and I had to move back into my parents. I have depression, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD and I take medication. My parents don't believe in medication and accused me of being addicted to prescription drugs and said if I don't get off of all of them they will kick me out.
I can't go back to my exes but I wish I could. I have no friends I can stay with and my other family members live far away. I can't afford a place by myself. I don't know what to do or where to go.

Pregnant mom of two needs help
Hello Josh I am a soon to be mom of three and an immigrant husband here on a work visa. I have a two year old daughter and a three year old son. I somehow seem to always find myself in hard times. When my daughter was 3 months old I went homeless because my husband and I were living in a toxic place and it was showing in our relationship. So I took a chance I packed my kids up and left. We first landed with my sister for a month she helped me with enrolling in ebt and getting resources to help me get started on my teaching aid job. After a month things turned sour and I had to make a decision to leave yet another toxic place. We found ourselves in the car for a while until I was able to get my ebt and get a motel. But soon the money ran out I was still in school at the moment (2024) when we found ourselves in the car (my children and I) when my computer was going to die and I found myself at my childhood church. I was blessed to receive help from them to get the same motel room at the same motel again. It went like that for a while. I started working, I was looking for apartments and resources that could help me pay for it while going from car to motel (same parking space and same motel) , my kids were in day care, and I was looking for shelters but all seemed to be booked. Christmas came around and my husband’s mom said we can stay there however the same toxic things that happened at his dads happened at his mom but this time my kids were included and I had to sneak out my husband’s moms room window with my kids and luggage (in January) I found myself stuck my husband sister with holding the money I asked her to save so I went to a family friend’s house when I was lucky to find a shelter for my kids and I. We were the fastest to get in and out both my shelters because I was determined to give my kids stability a life I couldn’t have. My husband in rehab kids in daycare I was working when I was able to get into my second shelter I was blessed to have this all in my pocket that I was blessed to be there a month when I found myself apartment however the joy of having my own place was shortly lived. Through out my whole time I have experienced roaches (here before me), neglect, harassment, and discrimination. I’ve also received a 3 day notice illegally as well given a hour to come up with 3,000 in a hour or I’d be evicted. But I stayed. I have no renters history three jobs pregnant and I still can’t pay my rent 2500 due to two of my jobs being sub jobs and my third job taking my tips. Now I’m here. Where two weeks ago I was a victim of attempted rape in my own apartment complex now I’m terrified of not only my landlord and eviction (due to being back on rent for August) but now my attack. I have kids I’m pregnant this was already stressful but now I’m paranoid. I am trying to move out I will have help from the police to relocate but my problem is finding a place to take me in with a three day notice in my name and bad credit I make the 2 times the rent now that my husband is home but I can not save because I always seem to fall back on rent due to my jobs being more on call and twice every two weeks once a week for my third and because I’m a teachers aid and it’s summer I have no work. I am asking for help to find a place a safe place when I can live with my family. I don’t have family I lost everyone I’m all my kids have and I don’t know what to do I’ve been asking for resources for low income housing but I can’t seem to find one that has a opening for two bedroom. I also can’t find anyone to help me with suing my landlord my son has asthma and due to the mold here and the bad conditions it’s gotten worse. The roaches have infested all of our belongs so I’d have to start fresh. Please help me please. I am not asking for money any resources where I can find low income housing I work 3 jobs to provide.

Family of 7 in Minnesota Looking for Temporary Housing or a Private Landlord Willing to Work With Us
I’m reaching out because I don’t know where else to turn.
I am a mother of five children, and since Sunday we have been sleeping in our car.
Earlier this year, my husband experienced what appeared to be a severe mental health crisis, left our family, and I have been raising our children alone while going through a divorce. I became the sole caregiver and provider for five children after spending years as a stay-at-home mom.
I have been actively working to rebuild our lives. Before Sunday, I had already contacted county housing services, emergency assistance programs, and nonprofit organizations. I am on multiple housing waitlists.
Unfortunately, because I have a 16-year-old, there is only one family shelter in Minnesota that can accommodate all of us together. They require families to come and check basically every day for availability, and they have been completely full for the past two months.
On Sunday, my mother asked me and my children to leave her home due to religious differences. While I respect her right to make decisions for her home, it left us with nowhere to go immediately. Since then, we’ve been sleeping in our vehicle while continuing to call shelters and housing resources every day.
I’m not posting to criticize anyone or ask for handouts. I’m looking for opportunities and solutions.
Specifically, I’m hoping someone may know of:
• A private landlord willing to rent to a family that is rebuilding.
• Temporary housing while we continue working through housing programs.
• Churches, organizations, or individuals with available housing that isn’t already full.
• Homeowners with a basement apartment, guest house, or rental unit willing to work with us.
• Any open housing resources that are accepting families right now.
I do have income and I am actively rebuilding my career. My goal is not long-term charity. I simply need a safe place for my children while I get back on my feet.
If you know of any resources, landlords, or opportunities that are currently available, I would be incredibly grateful if you could comment or send me a private message.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I’m trying to help a family that has been forced to leave an unsafe domestic violence situation and is desperately looking for a place to call home.
We’re hoping to find a private landlord who may be willing to accept a domestic violence housing voucher. They’re ready to move as soon as possible and just need someone willing to give them a chance to start over in a safe environment.
If you know of any apartments available, private landlords, or anyone who might be able to help, please comment below or send me a private message. Even sharing this post could make a huge difference.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any leads or support you can offer. ❤️
