I'm 21 years old, i'm a single mom, i have a 2 year old son and i'm in need of any kind of assistance from the church or any other resource. I'm working right now by the University of Utah, i work 3 day's a week (all that's available) @ 5.15$ hourly plus tips. I'm living with my step father and my younger brother and sister in a 2 bedroom house. I love my family very much and i appreciate my step father helping me out, it's just getting really hard for me to be living here. The reason being my younger brother isn't the best example at all for my son and my son adores him so much that he copies everything he does, I feel like i don't have control, I try to speak up and let them know its not acceptable to talk and act the way they do around my 2 year old son. They never listen, i feel helpless, I know i'm a wonderful mother, I work go to school, I'm never out i'm always at home with my son. I just want the opportunity to live with my son and raise him the right way. I'm looking for a program that would pay half my rent, I can pay 400$ a month MAX and there is NOTHING in SLC for 400$ a month. I would only need the assistance till i either find another job or when I get onto housing. I don't want to do it this way, I want to be able to do everything by myself for my son. It's just too hard by myself, my sons father doesn't want to help me at all if i'm not with him, He treated me really horrible when I was pregnant and after i had my son. So there is no way i'd ever go back to him, I did file child support but he's not paying anything at all nor will he ever. All I have is my family and all they can provide me with is emotional support, witch does help a lot. Anyways thank you for reading my situation and please respond if you know of any kind of services I can try. If you'd like to e-mail me please feel free to @ [email]bcr1313@hotmail.com[/email] Thank you all again. Have a wonderful day or night!

Salt Lake City Housing Authority closed their Section 8 wait list 'cause it was too lengthy. SL County Housing Authority has a 3+ year wait list for their Section 8 program.

Perhaps you could call SL City HA and ask them what your options might be.

Or ask your local bishop to put you in touch with the church office that handles requests such as yours. I know someone already here, whose bishop paid her rent while she went back to college. Of course, she and her son became involved in the ward's activities - a good thing for the son IMO (I'm not LDS).

Look for Tax Credit rentals, not section 8. Not sure where to look, I imagine the SLC action program is a start.
