Unemployed, no luck finding a job, running out of money & facing eviction?

I've been unemployed for 6 months now since I got laid off my job and I'm running out of money and will probably soon be homeless if I don't find some work soon.

I got only 3 months of rent money left and barely enough to buy food. My internet will probably get shut off too in a few months since not being able to pay for it.

What am I supposed to do? I keep applying for jobs buy never hear back on any of the applications.

If you're having trouble paying your rent and are facing eviction notify your landlord that you're gonna have trouble paying the rent and are working on finding another job.

Some landlords will work with you especially if you have been a good tenant.

In the mean time ask around at churches and see if they might help come up with your rent for awhile. At least for a month if you run short.

Another thing have you applied for unemployment compensation? If not you should if it's not to late.

Keep putting in applications and even ask around your neighborhood to see if someone has some work around their house that needs done.

Even some part time work is better than no work at all.
