You might qualify for government aid if you are struggling with debt or
loss of employment. You might also qualify for help if you are trying to
get a college degree or you have medical expenses. Although this aid is
available when needed but no person is automatically entitled to it.
Help is given when the government determines that a person or family
qualifies for it.
The government provides several
programs for people with legitimate financial need. Programs like child
care, healthcare, nutrition, etc. There are specific criteria that
qualifies people for government assistance.
How to get Help
First step to take, if you are in need of aid, is to fill out an
application for the program you want help from. If you meet the
eligibility requirements, then you will be considered for the program.
Note that you might not receive your aid in form of cash.
Visit
Benefits.gov, this site will connect you with the right programs. Try
not to see accepting government aid as being embarrassing but simply as a
way to help you out while you try to get back on your feet.
Using Benefits.gov is really easy. Visit the website and choose from the following options:
Find
Benefits: Choosing this will lead to a questionnaire. You need to
answer every question on it because your answer will determine the
benefit list you get. This will make the entire process easier for you.
Check
the list: If you already know the program you might qualify for then
you can skip the previous process and go straight to the browse tool.
The page will show you the available benefits.
Grants
Benefits.gov does not provide information on grants. To apply for a grant, go to grants.gov to apply.
Below are some helpful sources for obtaining grants:
1. Rural Rental Assistance:
This is a grant that is used to lower the amount of rent that is paid
by people living in rural rental housing. The eligibility requirement is
that the rent must exceed 30% of the monthly income of the family.
2. Good Neighbour Next Door Program:
This program is for people who provide community services like
teachers, police officers, firefighters and emergency medical
technician. This program offers them a 50% discount on a HUD home.
3. Disaster Relief Assistance:
This program is for people who have experiences natural disasters like
flood, fire strike, hurricanes and tornadoes. The FEMA places displaced
families with any available housing in their area and supports them
until they can stand on their feet again.
4. Housing Grants and Loans:
If you have low income, you can apply for aid from the Rural Housing
Repair Loans and Grants Program. This will help improve your property
and make necessary repairs. It can also be used to eradicate health
hazards, if there are any.
Life can present unexpected challenges that make it difficult for you to
pay your bills, stay in your home or cater for your children. Whatever
it is, do not hesitate to seek for help.

ReplyDeleteWhere do you live? I am a 56 year old disabled widow. I can get around for the most part but all the housing/apt rental assistance programs have a long waiting list or I can't seem to find anything. A 1 BR 1BA finished basement would work excellent for me. I am currently using all my SSI Income on staying in a hotel and have no extra money. If you live in my area or close (Cherokee, Cobb, Pickens) counties are the closest to where I live. If you haven't rented your basement out let me know if you'd like to talk or meet. Thank you.
