Grad school housing on a low wage

[Julie]

Hi, my name is Chance. My girlfriend is an Occupational Therapy Grad student and the next leg of her education requires her to have up to 6 months of housing while not being allowed to have a salary from working in Richmond, IN for 3 months and then Dayton, OH for 3 months. This would not be an issue, but I haven't been able to find employment because of AI taking over and even when I did, it was too close to our upcoming move date on the 1st of May to take. My father has been supporting us financially, and we have enough to pay for at least 6 months of rent once we move out, but he was terminated from his job last week. He will be moving in with us, but the issue is with two of us without active employment, we're being told we won't be accepted to apply for any renting or housing leases out there.
We genuinely aren't sure what to do to get my girlfriend housing for school and we're hoping for anything now. We need a place in or around Dayton, and we have no other options. Is there any way y'all can help?
Thank you for your time, and please have a wonderful day.

Good afternoon, I am a recent college graduate and I moved to Dorchester by a friend of mine in holes of graduate school and work. I am supposed to start grad school next year and I am temporarily working at Pret a manger but it is a $10/hr job.
I pay where I am staying $350 a month which is strain full but I get through with it but I don't think I can be here very long again because of circumstances popping up between us and I have no space to live comfortably as I would like to. I am trying to get on my own housing unit but with the job I currently have there is no way that I can. I was referred to this site by someone I know. What type of help is available, if there is any? Would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
