Check with some churches or places such as first call for help and usually they can help cover part of your rent but they may not be able to cover it all the time.
You can also check with your electric company to see if they have some assistance programs to help with paying the electric bill and then you could divert the money you're paying right now on your electric bill to your rent payment and get assistance in paying your electric bill.
Also another thing that came to mind is in some places there is a rental assistance program that helps people who qualify to pay for there rent payments.
So look around online for a rental assistance program and you just might qualify for the rental assistance if you meet the requirements.
