What can I do in my current situation? I'm completely broke and have no one to borrow from?

Basically, I am nearly 600 dollars in debt. I cannot pay my rent and will more than likely be evicted from my apartment. I do not have any other form of housing I would be able to stay at as my mom refuses to financially support me and I don't have anyone else I can borrow from. I don't really have any friend's houses I can stay over, so don't suggest that.

And please, for the love of humanity, don't emptily say things will get better. They have not gotten better. I have been looking for a job for months and can't find one. God has nothing to do with this so leave him out of it. Provide a potential solution or simply move on.

Update:

Local temp agencies are full. Not hiring anybody, to work there or do work for them.

    Your question seems almost impossible to answer as you cant go anywhere and have no way of getting income.

    My only logical answer would be for you to get a loan. Sit down, for ages until you come up with a perfect business strategy on how your going to use the excess money to make more money.

    And make sure it's full proof and have a back up just incase.

    Here's an example.

    $2000 loan over the longest period of time you can get.

    Speak to your landlord and pay him back just over half the money and explain to him a situation which would see you through 2 weeks.

    Pay off your debt.

    Now you have roughly $1000 left.

    Go on the internet/boot sales/second hand shops

    and find good quality items which seem to be selling well at the moment.

    Buy them, really cheaply, and sell them on for more money.

    (know what your looking for, better if you know about what your buying and the best places to buy it)

    In the meantime, look for an emergency job, and find out if there is any grants you can claim off the government such as housing support, job seekers, etc.

    Also, find a cheap place you can live in, even if it is just a bed, and find somewhere you can put your things until you get back off the ground.

    It's only an example, but if you do what you plan right and think it through properly, you should be fine.

    Have you tried going to labor ready or one of those places that give you work for the day? Also, if you're good with kids you can look online for babysitting jobs. They pay about 10 bucks an hour where i live. Thats the only thing i can think of off the top of my head. Other than that..just keep looking for a job i know the economy sucks i'm in the same boat but my parents are helping me by letting me work at their business til i find a job. Good luck, hopefully you can find something!
