What do you do when you are about to be homeless?

Asked by SeattleSysAdmin (112points) January 14th, 2015

I have found myself in a bit of a situation where I am about to be homeless. After fourteen years of being professionally employed as a Sys Admin, I was laid off from Microsoft in July of last year. Despite my sincerest efforts to secure a new job, I am striking out left and right.

I am now out of food and out of money. My cell phone is about to be shut off and my internet is shortly behind that. My car is about to be reposed and finally I have received my eviction notice. Without those things getting a new job so I can recover will be difficult.

My family can’t help me anymore than they already have.
The state won’t help me. I am being declined access to TANF and SNAP. I am being fought on my unemployment (I have never been unemployed before but I hear this is quite a common thing).

So I am looking for tips on what to do specifically from anyone who has been here or anyone who may just have any idea.
