Get emergency rent assistance
Contact your state’s 211 program to find emergency help paying your rent.
Each state has its own eligibility rules. Call 211 or search for state and local emergency rental assistance programs. Your state or local agency may refer you to a community or nonprofit organization that can help if you do not qualify for a government program.
If you want to talk to a housing counselor, find your local Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) participating counseling agency.
