The Housing Authority in Virginia Beach will have the most comprehensive list of landlord's who offer low income apartments, duplexes and single family homes.  If you are not already approved for a Section 8 voucher, you should apply for one through the same agency. There may be a waiting list, but I'd at least apply and get myself on the list. The agency is called the Virginia Beach Housing Authority. You may find other resources as well through local homeless shelters, Salvation Army, local food banks, churches, and civic groups.  These entities can help with, food, utilities, transportation, child care, medical and mental health services, should you need any of these other types of assistance.  Good luck, and I hope your situation improves quickly.

look up your local Salvation army or goodwill.  Not sure if they will do it the same day though.

I suggest your local churches (they have them) or a local community center. They usually have programs like that for teens. Try your local health unit too, they might have some ideas...GL;)

I know that the Salvation Army helps with some utilities, you might want to give your local office a call.

You could go to youth hostels, the YMCA, the Salvation Army.  There are lots of choices but are you sure leaving your family is a good idea right now?  I don't know what the problem is but usually if you leave before it gets resolved you will never resolve them.  I moved out when I was 16 as well and now I haven't talked to my sisters or my parents in 13 years.  Weigh your options carefully.

http://www.liheap.ncat.org\n\nThey provide help with paying high utility bills for low income families. Just type in your state in the search bar on the left.\n\nThe local Dept. of Human Services. Maybe they can help with getting food stamps or some other assistance. \nAlso, there's some charities that might help, Catholic Charities, United Way, and The Red Cross. In my town, the local Baptist Association helps people out with money or clothes. If I think of more I'll add them later.

My sister and brother used to work at this wilderness camp for toubled teens but it is only for boys and parents can send them there, but I dont know if it is free or not.  It is called Timber Ridge and it is in North Carolina.  They have a website www.trtc.net/default2.htm.  I am sure if you contact them they can tell you more about facilities that can help your situation.

My apartment building burned to the ground on January 26,2003.\nApproximately 30 people including myself lost every thing they owned. I lost my car when the building collapsed and managed to walk away that morning with just my daughter, my dog and my purse. \nPeople from all over the county came together to make sure every family in that building had a place to stay that night.\nChurches and civic groups arranged to have furniture and housewares donated by merchants in the area, families donated \nclothes, housewares and more furniture.  Total strangers donated $ to a fund set up to help each family get into a new apartment and to make sure their utilities were connected.\nI worked at a car dealership @ the time and the owner of the dealership gave me a car to drive until I had saved up enough $ to pay for it.\nI had $96.00 in my bank account and an 8 year old daughter to support and was left with absolutely nothing due to something beyond my control and total strangers chose to help me and make sure that I had everything my family needed to get on with our lives.\nI have a completely new understanding of what people's kindness can do. I want to be able to make people realize that you can start over, all you may need is a hand.

You can help out your neighbors.  And maybe make a few bucks at the same time.  Mow the lawn, pull weeds, walk someone's dog, clean up the dog poop in back yard, babysit, wash cars....  The last two years I wish I could find a teenager to help me out when I needed it.  And I would've gladly paid for the help.  \n\nMake some sort of flyer to pass out to the neighbors to "advertise".

this is so sad, OK first I'm not from London but not to far away, I'm in Woodstock.\nnow i know a few 17y old on their own, they got help through a government agency, now I'm not sure which one it was, either it was children's aid society or social services, because they were too old to be in foster care they were helped with getting a place to live and a way to pay their rent and buy food. one now has a job and the other is in looking still.\n\ni would also suggest the kid's help line they have numbers and info to help you out. don't be afraid to ask for help, its out there for you and your friend.  i wish the best of luck hopefully the future will be brighter.

We have - Meals on Wheels - which is an organization that distributes food to the sick.\n\nThere are various church groups that distributes food to the homeless.\n\nWe also have the Salvation Army which is a big one\n\nWe have the Kids Help Line. where children can phone and talk to a volunteer about their problems.\n\nThese are only a few.  Hope these help.\n\nWe also have volunteers that work with people in hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, schools, homeless, shelters.

I don't really think help is there.  The shelters make you leave early in the morning.  Most jobs require that you have a telephone so they can call you if they want to hire you.  People in the shelters get robbed, unless they don't have anything.  Sure, lots of the homeless like living that way, but for ones that don't like it, it's not easy.

I agree that the Shriners is a great place to try.  However, if you can't get help from them. Try this. If you belong to any religious groups, or other orgazations, see if they have funding for emergencies.  \n\nDo you have close relatives that maybe can help somewhat?  Do you have any thing that can be used to secure a loan? Like a house, or any real property?  Do you have an insurance policy that can be cashed in early?  \n\nDo you vote on a regular basis?  If you do, you might try contacting your local, state, or even federal representatives.  They may be able to steer you toward organizations that can help.  \n\nEverybody belongs to an ethic group. There are organizations that target their specific group for assistance.  There IS help out their somewhere.  The hard part will be doing the legwork for the research to find where it is.  First, use the internet, after you have narrowed the list, use the phone.  \n\nYou might try (a long shot probably) to locate any organizations that help children with your child's afflication.

Call around to local hospice centers or hospitals. Don't forget about shelters for victims of domestic violence as well or group homes. Working in a group home might help her if she can see people who are more in her age range who are less fortunate than her. Also, check with churches since many of them have soup kitchens for those who don't have a place to go or will be able to help you find one where you can volunteer.\n\nGood luck. I think this is a wonderful idea and anyone you help will appreciate it.
