Welcome to Psych Central, tiny.

Your situation sounds very drastic to me. No matter how crummy the state economy & cut-backs are, I haven't ever seen women's shelters affected. There are lots of programs set up, with independent funding, to keep safe housing always alive as an option. In the midwest myself, I can't help but wonder what state you're in. Yikes!
