Sleeping in the car with 3 kids - can't imagine that and has to be so hard. But you did the right thing getting out if things weren't safe. Since you're in Panama City, try Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida at https://www.ccnwfl.org/ as many help women living in unsafe situations or may even have some funds for housing like rent or help you legally. Also try Salvation Army of Panama City (850-769-7989) because they sometimes have motel vouchers or maybe a shelter for homeless people. And of course if still unsafe from the dad/husband contact the authorities.
I'd also let the housing program you already applied to know you're living in your car now, as sometimes that changes your priority. If the girls aren't already connected with their school counselor, let the school know too because they often know about local family and homeless programs that aren't easy to find online.

I am a mother of three. I am struggling to keep my faith. My children are trying to help by being quiet. But I am lost, and I don’t know what to do to save us. I have applied for housing in Panama City. And I am working as of now I need a place for us to bathe and be ours. I just need help with getting into the housing with a security deposit and the first month’s rent. I left the girls dad because they were more scared for me than I was for myself. And on that day while they were in school, I decided to pack a bag for us and we have been sleeping in the car. Please all help will be greatly appreciated and very helpful.

My name is Anita. I live in Panama City, FL 32404. I am behind on my rent by 12 days and I am in desperate need of rental assistance so I don’t have to see the streets in this cold season. I don’t have any friends and I don’t have any family here. I ran away from Miami married to a man eight years for infidelity I’ve been here 2 1/2 years. I just need this one time I recently lost my job my car and my home. Please help me if you can in anyway I’ll take it. My rental balance is 1465+ late fee of 250 thank you. Have a blessed day.
