States are partnering with schools to offer free welding, truck driving, health education. Maybe yours is one. Apply for emergency public benefits. Catholic charities often will give a grocery gift card. Salvation Army for clothing, possible rent assistance. LHEAP for energy assistance. It's long, grueling, humiliating process but getting education helps qualify you for public benefits.

Edit: volunteering can help qualify for public assistance and offer training in other skills, but make sure it's DSS approved.
