Is there anyway you can see your case worker and get to the office. We always recommend that as it is much harder/impossible for a case worker to ignore someone who is right in front of them. In addition, here are many Niagara County New York non-profits, government programs, and agencies to call for rent help.

Many do prioritize for the disabled, so you should have that going for you that can help you out in your situation. Many also do not want people to become homeless, so those places give priority too if you are way behind on rent and verge of homelessness.

I need to know if there are any programs that have funding to help with rental assistance for a single mother. This is a bit of an emergency. I just moved in May and I'm already behind from July 1 due to extenuating circumstances and have received a letter threatening eviction.

Well, single mothers do not get any favors on their own in Albuquerque. But you can apply for some of the other local resources out there. Here is one of the main ones in your region of New Mexico. Read more.

Hello, I’m writing you because I was looking online and came across your information. I’m please looking for help on my rent. I’m behind two months I was working for Wal-Mart and was let go back in July and I got a job in October and I’ve been trying to get caught up but I just can’t seem to.
I was wondering if you knew anyone that could help me I’ve called every church in my town Staunton Virginia and they all give their funds to SCARA and I’ve been there every time I go they say they can only help people with kids or elderly.
They can’t help I just need a little help its winter. I have no family. It’s just me.
I can’t be evicted. I will not have anywhere to go. I’ve talked and talked to my landlord trying to work something out but it’s not working. Please if you know anyone that could help me it would mean so much to me. Thank you have a great day.

Good for you in getting a job in short order. We have many resources listed on the site, everything from government grants to loans, charities, and more. the main source of data is here, and find help for paying rent.
