 TITLE: Need Help Paying Rent? Here’s What to Do CONTENT: Start Planning Now\n------------------\nEven if you can afford your rent for the next month—or a few months—start planning for the possibility that you could fall behind in the future. Perhaps you can move to a less expensive place, move in with someone or sublet a room. Reaching out and setting up these options now, rather than at the last minute, could make the transition easier. As a last resort, you could also look into taking out an emergency loan to pay for rent.\nAdditionally, pay attention to your local news. While federal programs will likely make the headlines and be hard to miss, there may be new local or state assistance available in the coming months. END
