family services should be able to help you get some assistance's. you might also contact the salvation army. they can help with food and they have some resources. they may also know where you can get help. you may be able to apply for social security, look into that.

Yes there is most communities have centers to help with this, such as groups, hospitials, ect. i would start by contacting a hospital, or contacting your local United Way to see what resources are out there. I know where I live all we have to do is dial 211 for information on Community needs and where to go to get help for these issures.

Sunshine is right. You need to call your local Department of Social Services. They can assist you in obtaining shelter. If you are homeless they will put you up in either a shelter or a hotel room. You can't really pick and choose and it depends on whats available in your community.\n\nIn my county we only have a shelter for homeless woman and a seperate one for homeless men. But, married couples, partners, or families are put up in hotels.\n\nTry this website for numbers to your local office:\n\nhttp://aspe.hhs.gov/homeless/index.shtml

You can try the Salvation Army.  Years ago I know they used to pay one month rent, one electric bill and one phone bill.  It would catch you up.  I think they still have this program.  It wouldn't hurt to try.  Good Luck

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your personal reasons.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. \n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices."

Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

I'm not from Columbus, but here are some agencies that might be able to refer you:\n\nThe Salvation Army\nThe United Way (will most likely refer you to another agency versus providing assistance directly).\nCatholic Charities\nProtestant Family Service\n\nI hope this helps. God bless, and best wishes for a full recovery!

Try your county Social Services Department.  They probably will be able to refer you to agencies appropriate for your particular need,  whether it be "crisis assistance" or "credit counseling"

Try any crisis center or YWCA that offers battered women's shelter...they would most likely know of the organization and/or her.  Good luck to you.

C you briefly tell us where do you live? it's hard to tell you where you can get help, if we don't know where do you live.\n\nIf you live in US:\nhttp://www.troubledwith.com/\ntell them your low income situation, and see what they can arrange for you

Depends on the individual. Some go to food banks, some pan handle, some hold advertising signs eg. "will work for food" so it all depends on...now women with children get more housing  support. Homeless get the most help around the holidays. God bless them!

Not a lady, but I can hope to solve this unfortunate problem for you. There is always a legal aid office in what ever town you live in, you may have to dig for it and call lots of different people to find it but it does exist. The easiest way to find it, would be to call a woman's shelter, or your local YWCA if you have a chapter of that organization near you. If not, try your local college. Some of the recently graduated law students are hungry for whatever work that they can get and generally excel at their first cases. (mainly because they want the word of mouth advertising that can come from it). I wish you luck in this most unfortunate place in your life and hope for a speedy and clean proceeding.

Unemployment Office helps! Then I'd check your state offices to see what sort of services they can provide!

I have pity on your situation, but I don't know where you live so i wouldnt' know anything really. United Way could help.
