Real Estate Law (esp. Landlord-Tenant)/Assistance to pay rent

Question
I lost my job in Dec.2008 and have no funds to pay the rent(me ,my wife and three kids).We just got a 3 day eviction notice.Is there any government assistance program anywhere in California(including the new Stimulus plan),where I can get some help?

Answer
Hi Sam:

I have no knowledge of CA at all as I am in Wisconsin.

However, you may check with your local church, a lot of times they will help people out.

Other than that maybe call the City that you live in and ask them if there are any programs they are aware of.

I apologize that I am not of more assistance.
