Call Script
“I'm a Baltimore County renter facing a documented hardship and a move-out deadline. I'm applying with CAN, Salvation Army, and 211, and I’m ready to coordinate pledges so my landlord can be paid in full and avoid any eviction.

I have my lease, notice to vacate, ledger, and ID ready. Every dollar pledged makes a real impact, you’re preventing homelessness, not just covering bills. I’m responsive and ready to provide anything you need. Thank you for helping me exit with dignity.”
Tips
•
Mention every agency you’re contacting and that you’re open to pledge “braiding.”
•
Have all your paperwork and contact info for your landlord ready for quick coordination.
•
Emphasize your goal: to avoid eviction, protect your record, and make their help visible and meaningful.
