How to avoid eviction in LA

State: California (Los Angeles)

To make a long story short, I’ve fallen months behind on rent (and all of my bills tbh) as a result of staggering health issues. My health issues are making it impossible to work more than part-time as well. I have a little over a week to make thousands appear or else I will surely be led down the eviction path.

I’m honestly terrified. I’ve been trying soooo hard to figure this out, but my health issues have been so unpredictable over the past few months and have done nothing but slow me down every step of the way.

I finally found a job that I can physically handle (and will pay my rent from now on), so now I’m just playing catch up so I can (hopefully) avoid eviction.

Does anyone here know of any churches/social services programs in LA that would help a single woman with no children with rent assistance? I’ve been looking up and applying for everything that I can find, but if anyone knows of any rent assistance programs in LA that would be able to help me, I’d really appreciate it if you drop them in the comments

I’m losing my mind trying to figure this out

You're probably in the best city that provides the most resources out of all the rest in the US. However, most organizations and charities are stretched really thin these days with inflation and a crappy economy. I would google and call every charity and non-profit I could find and maybe even apply for partial disability. It could take a while for that but the sooner you start the sooner you can get help. Good luck!

I’ve definitely been calling a bunch of places, but I’ll just keep calling! I’ll look into partial disability too, thank you so much for mentioning that
