Request: #228552 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Belton • State: Missouri • Zip Code: 64012 • County: Cass • Submitted By: MO- DSS • Lead Church: Memorial Church International

Story

•
2 Children 2 Adults

Cass County Prevention is currently working with a mother and her paramour in regard to their rent and other utilities. The rent is overdue at the present time and the family has only been able to pay $500 so far this month. The paramour's next check is only estimated to be around $300, and the mother is attempting to locate employment; however, her application for childcare was denied so this makes it harder. Furthermore, the mother indicated their water was turned off today, April 24th due to the bill being past due. The remaining amount of rent is $700 for this month and in order to get the water turned back on it will cost $234.96. If the rent is not paid by next week, the landlord is talking about not allowing them to stay any longer in the home and terminating their lease. The mother is worried for her children, as she does not want them to be without working utilities in the home, nor to have to uproot them from their current schools.

Updated on April 30, 2025 by an Agency Worker
The family was able to get the rent paid and stay in their place; however, the water still remains off in the home.
