If you are looking for Spokane Housing Assistance, then you’re in luck! There are many agencies that will help you with both rent payments and subsidized housing units.
Spokane housing assistance programs can help you pay your rent!
Everyone struggles sometimes. Fortunately, there are several agencies that can assist you with paying your rent in Spokane!
DSHS
First, contact DSHS if you’re looking for Spokane housing assistance.

In order to determine what DSHS programs you might qualify for, you can contact them directly or use this eligibility calculator.
Catholic Charities of Spokane
Of course, Catholic Charities of Spokane also provides Spokane housing assistance. It is important to realize that you need a pay or vacate notice (or a utility shutoff notice) to receive assistance. They also prefer that you are referred but a Church or affiliated organization. Regardless, you can contact them at (509) 455-4963 on weekday mornings.

Hi Sherri, It sounds like you're going through a really difficult time right now. I'm so sorry to hear that. Here are some resources that might be able to help you in Missouri: https://lowincomerelief.com/missouri/
I would definitely check with your local United Way (http://211.org). You can also check your local Salvation Army. Some churches may be able to provide you with help temporarily or even be able to help get your bills back on track. It can be difficult with no car or phone, but I would definitely suggest starting with those places. Even if they can't provide you with direct help, they might be able to point you in the right direction in Kansas City.
