Gainesville Florida housing and rent resources needed

[Wertas]

I moved to Gainesville from Denver Colorado. Since I have got here nothing has worked out. I came here with a friend who I since found out had been lying to me the whole time. He was born in Florida and only used me for the gas money to get back. I was promised a job and a place to stay. None if that happened. I’m now homeless in a state I have zero resources in. I was told to start here. I need a gray hound ticket either back to Denver or Virginal were my brother lives. My name is Anthony. Please help me. Thank you and God bless. In Gainesville Florida

Hi,
That is great you son is helping you by you staying with him. As that must be "awkward" for both of you being a parent with a college student. But for the rent and housing programs and benefits in Gainesville FL than look here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... ounty.html

My sole means of income is a monthly disability amount of $1184.
Siblings that might help me pay my bills either don't have to means or refuse to help.
Until now I have received support from my ex-husband who will be discontinuing his support at any time.
I share living quarters with my son who is currently a student in Gainesville Florida.
I have checked on a monthly basis to see is the Gainesville Housing Authority is accepting applications for housing choice vouchers for the past year.  They haven't.
Could you please tell me how I might apply for rent and utility assistance in the best way to reach as many sources as possible?
