Personal Loans: Unsecured personal loans can be used for financing home improvements. These loans are not tied to your home's equity, however they may have higher interest rates than secured loans.
Credit Cards: Some consumers use credit cards to pay their rent. While convenient, be mindful of high-interest rates, and try to pay off the balance quickly to avoid accumulating debt.
Government Assistance: Check if you qualify for any government assistance programs or subsidies that can help with housing costs. Some programs provide financial support for eligible individuals or families.
Rent Assistance Programs: Look into local rent assistance programs or charities that may offer support during times of financial hardship.
