I have a link for LA county which really goes into detail as I am living in a place that had no place to hang towels, carpet not clean and other things plus bugs and fleas one day outside the apartment and they came in...Things need fixing here and outlet in bathroom for hairdryer doesn't work still and I want to move too. 

Keep in touch and let me know if tenant guide lines help you 

good luck

 in response to Starshine...   Thanks.  I'm still trying.  I'm waiting for my wife's bank statement to finish the application for modestneeds.  I'm starting to think it might be too little too late.  The late fees are getting out of control.  My 325 rent is up to 525 now I think.  I've been looking for a new apartment.  I can't stand the current one.  The landlord has been harrassing us at 9-9:30 at night for rent.  I have to get up at 3 something in the morning.   She told my wife she is a bad mother because we can't pay rent.  She hasn't fixed the air conditioner(in Phoenix people die without them).  It feels cooler outside than in.  It's 107 degrees now.  The tile floor was supposed to have been fixed.  It's a matter of time before someone needs stitches.  The light in the hallway doesn't work.  And, after a week of living there, I discovered that the laundry room key opened my front and back door...so everyone who lived there had a key to my apartment. Thank god I figured that out before someone else did.   I had to physically change the locks myself.  I wish I were in a more financially sound situation where I was current in rent and could sue.  There are a couple places we can go to get a food box, however, one is allowed once a month, the church up the street doesn't give much out and it's only allowed twice a month, and the third one is once yearly.  We missed out on Glendale CAP(a housing program) because the landlord refused to give us the 5 day notice when CAP had an open enrollment for a onetime rent pay.  She brought it by 2 days after.  Well, enough stress for this post.  I shall continue my search for help.  Once again, I thank you for your help.

Hello Jmorris779

Here is something you can apply for on line it is modestneeds that gives one time help with car repair or rent. To apply go to this link here:

If that doesn't help try this but I believe it takes longer.

For a list of food banks,soup kitchens and homeless shelters in Arizona. Call 866 3 hungry for food resources and they will give you some information for food banks but the above link that list food banks and soup kitchen as well as homeless shelters is the best..

I hope this helps some and I know it is hot in your state. I would contact the utility companies and see about low income help with utilities programs. 

I know not all of Arizona has the number 211 you can call for information and help . You can try that number to see if it works iin your area for food resources and other information.

I need to open another window as I know senior citizien centers and cities have what they call cooling centers for those people who need to beat the heat. I would contact your city hall and senior center for information regarding those for your city..

I hope some of this helps

Good luck
