Forgive me for not knowing your story. If money is part or is a HUGE of the problem, Catholic Charities helped me get out of a shelter and into an apartment. So did King County Vets, but I don't know if you're a veteran.
I cannot say enough about Catholic Charities. They gave me a loan and asked me how much I thought I could afford to pay back. I couldn't pay them until three years later.
They didn't ask me for *anything* before or after the loan, and I think the loan part was to help me feel less pitiful, if that makes sense.
Talk to them before you end up in a position where you have to make decisions on the fly. Also, knowing that you have a nascent plan helps a lot. You don't have to have the details worked out, and it's very hard to focus on anything besides OMG THIS FUCKING SHIT IS SHIT AND FUCK WHAT WILL I DO AND FUUUUUUUUUUCK!
IOW, there are people who have seen all kinds of horrible stuff and have helped others navigate through and around that stuff.
They know the shape of the river.
