My teaching job might be in trouble because they're giving up their charter to another district.
I need to find some type of federal grant to help me pay my monthly mortgage if this happens.

Grantgate and federal money retriever are FREE

If you have social services organizations in your city or town check to see if you have  Catholic Charities Organization. They will assist you with your rent, mortgage, car payment, utility and food. You can also apply for emergency and long term food stamps through the Dept of Social Services not Human Services where you live. If you have children, the Social Services will help you with them also, Be prepared to wait and be patient because there are lots of people there to get assistant also...... but they will help you . Do not forget to also apply for your unemployment payments  if you have been laid off. If you are in a union they can  also help you.   Good luck

Yes, after 14 weeks of fighting the state for it!!!  I receive 235.00 a week, I have had issues from day one.. The state I worked and lived in was not PAID from my company therefore after MANY PHONE CONVERSATIONS and mailing PROOF OF THIS PROOF OF THAT they FINALLY found the state my employer paid.  Did I get BACK PAY NO!!!  They alloted that my claim was dated and would be looked at 14 weeks AFTER I was laid off...
