Hello Lysa65, I'm afraid I have no knowledge on long term housing in the U.S, but I see this is your first post and I wanted to welcome you to PC. I hope you find your time here to be of benefit.

Unfortunately you may have to stay at a shelter for a while and try to search for low cost housing in your area. If you are unable to keep a job at this time, it would be worth it to apply for disability as well.
