Some churches really do help with rent, especially if it’s a one-time emergency. But here’s the catch they usually have limited funds. So if they can’t cover it directly, they’ll refer you to bigger organizations that can.
Best move? Call early in the week, ask if they offer direct rent help, and be ready with paperwork. Sometimes they write a check to your landlord. Sometimes they just give you a number to call. It’s a mix of miracles and middlemen.
