Is there public assistance in North Carolina?

I need housing assistance for my family in south carolina?

• my family has no where to go. My boyfriend and I are both 24 and we have both been laid off from our jobs, he worked at walmart and i worked at citi financial.. We have an 11 month old daughter also. I do not know if there is any type of government help that we can get where my family (my daughter and him) will be allowed to live with me because I was told that you had to be married in order for the father of your child to live with you on section 8 and honestly I dont want to live in a rough area having a little girl, most of the section 8 neighborhoods are called the "projects" around the town that we live in. We are living with my mother for 2 months and then we will have to find somewhere else because she already has a full house. is there anything that I can do to get help?

• Answer:

  There is NONE. You need to support yourself. You could try applying for Welfare but that will only put you on the waiting list for an apartment which is 5 yrs long but you have to be working for that benefit
