Firstly I am so sorry that you have found yourself in this situation Joe.

I was homeless in the past living from hand to mouth on the streets...My advice it to keep your wits about you and use common sense whilst striving to facilitate ways to keep safe. As you are receiving disability payments yet not paying rent or utilities, you need to take this opportunity to save as much cash as possible. Try to get away from the city centre whilst hoarding your money as the city will keep you poor. I would also often eat from dumpsters behind fast food restaurants as they tend to toss out clean left overs rather than just trash. Lastly the most important of all...try your best to find alternate living arrangements before winter sets in again...winter on the streets is excruciating. Be kind and generous to yourself Joe...and wishing you all the best in moving forward.
