Well, if you have no job, I'm sure you can qualify for Section 8 housing.  You can find a job by applying for them.  Apply for as many places and don't pick and chose the things you want to do...  unfortunately most people don't have jobs they want to do.  Try fast food, sweeping floors, anything to start getting some income.

You should go to the website called rentals.com maybe you and your wife will find a temporary place through there. Good luck on your search. Oh you also can go to apartment.com too.

several places.  Check with the local Salvation Army as well as Health and Welfare.  Also I know the Catholic Church can help sometimes as well as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  If you have your own religion also check with your Minister to see if he/she can help you out.

do you have a local youth club in your area? or a community centre?. The workers at these centres should be able to give you sound advice and support in following this through, they should direct you to the nearest housing association which supports young people in times of need like yourself. I hope you take my advice and go to one of these places they are more than capeable of supporting young people and wil understand what you are going through.\nHope you sort this out quickly and safely, all the best...

You can try the Salvation Army.  Years ago I know they used to pay one month rent, one electric bill and one phone bill.  It would catch you up.  I think they still have this program.  It wouldn't hurt to try.  Good Luck

Depends on where you live exactly, there are life shelters that always need more people to help out the homeless residents, often time retirement homes enjoy people to help out or talk to residents, there are many many children-mentoring programs (that you can probably ask your local schools about to see where./what you can do), and Big Brothers Big Sisters is an amazing national organization where you adopt a needy child as a "brother" or a "sister." You could even get paid minimally for volunteering, check out AmeriCorps, they're a great governmental program that will place you in a volunteer position and also pay you enough to live on megarly.

There are food banks? Food Stamps? Housing assistance, Heating / Electric assistance programs. Most of which you would have to qualify for? Most programs have had high demand & cutbacks. I would suggest you look for a second job & bail yourself out.

Most cities have some sort of legal aid kind of place for poor people.  Contact a social welfare office and see if you can get a referral.  Good luck!

Find your local housing authority or HUD office.\n\nCheck out the following link:\n\nhttp://www.hud.gov/apps/section8/\n\nIt should assist you in finding subsidized housing until you can get on your feet.

If you are old enough, try to do some babysitting or get a paper route.  You can run some errands for people or even do some house cleaning for people.  Any money will be a big help.

check out the chamber of commerce.  all you need to do is address an envelope to the city and state.  the post office will know the zip if you don't.  also, check at hospitals.  they usually can help people find temporary shelter.  sorry for your situation.

Look for local church's, soup kitchens, non-profit organizations.  You could even just help pick up trash around your neighborhood or mow lawns for no fee.  For specific names of places we would need where you are from.  Hope this helps, just keep your eyes open for opportunities.

Organize a group of people together to feed the homeless that are in the street. There is such a homeless problem in California and not enough shelters to help all of the homeless. There are a few different people/groups of people I have witnessed that have made it their business to make hundreds of sandwiches a day and pass them out to the homeless. There was a lady in Los Angeles who would cook great healthy homemade soups and drive around to the different spots where she knew the homeless people would gather and she made sure they had something good to eat as regularly as possible. But sometimes people can't do that on such a grand scale and it still makes a big difference on a smaller scale sometimes. Just giving something to a homeless person - a warmed plate of your leftovers from dinner perhaps - is a great thing.\n\nWalk up to a homeless woman who is minding her own business, not begging off of anybody, and give her 10% of your weekly income. I met a man one time who did that because he no longer attended church and it was his form of paying tithes. See how big that woman's smile gets. Depending on what you make, you might be able to divide that among 10 homeless women and still get great, surprised, thankful, almost wondrous expressions of happiness.\n\nVolunteer to mentor or assist a homeless person who is not totally beyond help. There are plenty of homeless people out there who look beyond help. Homelessness is a battle of hopelessness. The longer a time a person remains homeless, the more hopeless they feel about everything. People who have been homeless for more than a year become "The Chronic Homeless" and their chances for being able to escape the confines of homelessnes are statistically decreased. Sometimes people just need an address for employment opportunities, a contact phone number for messages, encouragement, food, a safe place to store clothing and personal belongings. When homeless people don't have at least these meager advantages, it can be intensely difficult to make it back into a more normal type of living environment.\n\nBecome a mentor or a Big Brother.\n\nVolunteer to tutor children or speak to children to motivate them to study well so they can become a graphic designer or whatever they want to achieve.\n\nDonate some of your graphic design services or discount as a donation to help non-profit charities advertise events that can help them achieve their goals.\n\nCounty hospitals often welcome volunteer administrative help.\n\n(Just a few ideas - I could go on forever with this. So many worthy causes out there need volunteeristic people.)

You'll probably get all the info you need (and more) if you contact an administrator of an AK homeless shelter. Just look up 'Homeless Services' in the yellow pages, and ask for the administrator.

Look up your State Housing Authority. They are the ones that can help you.
