Free shelter in or near East Village?

I am going to school in Manhattan, and I can no longer afford to pay rent If I am to continue eating (at least until I find another job)... I was wondering if anyone knew of a shelter for young people that would house overnight.. I know the YMCA used to do this, but I am not sure if that is still the case.

Anyhow, If anyone knows of a free or really cheap place that would let me crash at nights, that would be great.

Thank you.
