I have bad credit and am desperate to find an apartment in Mass?

I am currently going through a divorce and one of the main reasons I am divorcing my soon to be ex is that he has ruined me financially. My house is foreclosing and I need to find an apartment between Dighton, Ma and Bridgewater, Ma. Here's my problem. My credit since I have been married is terrible. I am very dependable and have been at the same job for almost 8 years. I can provide personal and professional references and pay a few months rent in advance if need be. What can I do? People with bad credit have to live somewhere, right? Help.. I don't want to end up homeless. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Listen. Credit scores are VERY overrated when it comes to renting. Normally they only make a difference if you are looking at a place you probably cant afford to begin with. In my life I have never heard of anyone I know getting rejected from an apartment. And i know some people with AWFUL credit. Just look around and someone will let you in no problem.

Maybe you could get someone to co-sign for you.

some service clubs and churches have affordable housing..

Look for a FREE Credit Counseling organization in your area. They can help with your problem of credit repair and sources of help for housing. Avoid the fee based organizations.
