If you recently lost your home or have been evicted from your apartment there are options besides going to stay with a friend or family.  If you want to get back into your own place there are several agencies in your area to help you find affordable housing. If you’re not sure where to start you might try Public Housing.com. 
 
On their website is a location tool to find apartments and rentals designated as affordable housing. There are over 24,000 places available on the website and entering in your zip code in the search box on the home page will give you a list of places, each with a phone number, email address, website, map, and a link to the description of the home.  Also check out our article on Alternatives to a Shelter (if you lose your home).
