Rent and Housing Assistance in the Asheville NC area
Need help stopping an eviction, or simply wondering what is going to happen if you are late on a rent payment one month, or your circumstances have changed in life and simply need help? Don't be embarrassed to reach out - many people have struggles finding low income housing, government programs or local organizations that provide help. Some become disabled, some are elderly or searching for homes with children or pets that not all locations will house.
Perhaps you are unable to get a mortgage, and would like to own your home through the seller financing your purchase? A limited number of homes are available on the Multiple Listing Service that offer this route.
