And My Rent Is Due This Month On The 16 Of April I Really Need Help. Please. To Avoid Getting Evicted. Thanks In God Bless.

Thank you for your reply. I am in Georgia (Dekalb county) outside Atlanta, and like I indicated, I don't believe there are any resources left in Dekalb county for me that I have not already used. That's why I was hoping there might be some state run agencies available. Besides rent and utility assistance (especially rent since I have not paid August yet) I have been chronically unemployed for more than a year and need help with job placement as well.
It's gotten quite frustrating to say the least since I have been an office professional for nearly 20 years and have two college degrees, but nearly everything seems to back to knowing someone in the GA job market. But any further references in addition to the ones already provided would be appreciated.

Two college degrees is impressive. The job market in DeKalb Coutny as well as the city of Atlanta itself Georgia is picking up, so maybe something will open up for you soon. The resources are always limited, but you need to continue to call around and try as funding always comes and goes for rent and other bills. For additional information on programs in DeKalb, try this for information. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... rogr1.html

Hello Good Morning,
My name is Tenisha and I am and new mom of my one year old son Casey. I currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia and in desperate need of some type of financial assistance regarding my bills, mostly utility. I'm awaiting the job hiring process for a federal position and was let go in my recent work due to Covid and being a single mom. I don’t get any assistance besides food stamps but no child support or any other means of income. I would be beyond grateful for anyone to reach out regarding help of any kind whether Atlanta light or power or something else. Thank you so much in advance.

Hi Tenisha
We have financial resources listed for Atlanta and all of GA, including for utility bills. There is FACAA community action grants, LIHEAP, Action Ministries and other programs to try for gas and light bill help, and look here for emergency help in Atlanta GA. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... rogr1.html
