<prompt> Human: So my mom has been unable to pay rent for the past couple of months. Her landlord says shell be served with a notice to evacuate soon. She makes just under 20,000 a year working an hourly job. About 1600mo. Her current rent is at 1100, plus utilities. My brother lives with her and just turned 18. My father passed away a couple years ago and my mom has exhausted all of the resources from that. Her car payment plus insurance is approx. 400moMy question: what programs, in NJ, are there that help low income families or widows like her? Shes having trouble finding a cheaper place on her own her credit is also crap: 520. She qualifies for food stamps and I wanted to find out if anyone knows of other programs she could apply for. Thanks for any help!  <response>: If your brother is out of high school he needs to either get a job and pay rent or get a job and find his own place. Between her income and her poor credit score and having a recent eviction, its going to be hard for her to find another apartment. Shes probably better off going on craigslist and looking for somewhere she can rent a room in a house or sublease a room in an apartment. Many of those situations are informal and wouldnt require a credit check.
