First off, I'm so sorry. I've read some of these posts and they are very heartbreaking. Im a 27 year old woman, disabled with long Covid. I have a pending SS case and I have no idea if/when it'll be processed & I can only hope they approve me(although I didn't see my debilitating disorder on the list of disabilities that qualify😞). I live at home still due to the fact that I cannot work. I did try training for a remote sales position but it was overwhelming and I had to stop the training . I need to MOVE ASAP if I want to get better again. I have been bedridden for years! I have been sick for YEARS! And ITS GOT A LOT TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT I LIVE WITH 2 EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE NARCISSISTS! I live in the state of CA & I understand that is a difficult place to find housing but I will move to Alaska if I have to just PLEASE I don't even know where to begin applying for assistance. Please can someone help me. I have no friends or family to help me.

Try domestic violence shelters, might get lucky.

Call 211 to see what else is available in your area re homeless shelters, assisted living etc..

Sometimes if you can get a short hospital stay Medicare/Medicaid might pay short term for assisted living.

Many homeless shelters provide social services to get you EBT, Section 8 or other benefits, besides your county social services.

It was definitely a good idea to stay away from them
