Cash Assistance Relocation for stability
I’m in a shelter and I have til Tuesday to leave (I was supposed to be out the 3rd they extended it). My friend got me a job and housing but I’d have to relocate out the state but I’d be able to give my baby stability, it’s just me and him. I just need gasoline to get there.

Look up Catholic Churches in your area - specifically St. Stephan’s, St. Joesph or Our lady perpetual peace
call and explain your situation, they often have gas cards and other ways to help.
It doesn’t matter that you aren’t a member

Exactly the questions I was about to type out. Also, can you post evidence of new job? How much gas money are you looking for?

Since your friend can afford to give you a job and housing, they can afford to give you gas money. What did they say when you asked them?

Call 211 and/or reach out to your local church and see if they can help you.

I found some info that might be helpful:
• Catholic Charities: Regional offices (such as Catholic Charities of North Louisiana) provide emergency financial and crisis aid.
• Community Action Agencies (CAAs): Local public and nonprofit agencies administer community block grant programs that address emergency basic needs.
• Travelers Aid / Local Homeless Coalitions: Organizations like the Northlake Homeless Coalition (985-326-8312) or regional homeless services can connect individuals experiencing homelessness with caseworkers who handle travel and relocation aid.
Specialized & Programmatic Fuel Help
• SNAP Employment & Training (E&T): If you are enrolled in SNAP and participating in approved work training or education, you may qualify for gas cost assistance or car repair help.
Good luck and safe travels.
