UPDATE: I have somewhere to go, B"H. Mi K'amcha Yisrael!!!! I'm humbled and awed by everyone trying to help and for a viable option coming through so soon. I'm speechless, truly. Thank you.

I'm homeless with 3 kids as of Tuesday and need to find somewhere to be ASAP. If you know of anyone anywhere who can help me, please contact me.

For Pesach: Are there any Sedarim I could join that are within walking distance of an inexpensive motel?

I am so sorry Kiwi13.
Are you ready to take a plane to anywhere in the US?
I don’t have a suggestion but want posters to know how flexible your options are!

What about a bikur cholim apartment? Contact various bikur cholims and see if they have anything. Hugs!!! I'm so sorry you're in this situation!

So sorry for your situation. I don't live in the US.
Maybe any local Chabad can help you.
Wishing you all the best

I didn't have all the right categories of references they wanted, so no. They hurt me badly when I applied. To be clear, I had plenty of references, but they wanted "non-friend references." I don't even know what that means.

2 Chicago Chessed organizations that may have resources.

Try contacting them. They can either help or at least have some solid ideas to try.

They probably mean they want to hear from your Rabbis, social workers, doctors, etc. Are you close to any Rabbi who can help you? How about the Rabbi who helped you get a divorce (you said you are newly divorced so someone must have helped you), can he be a reference for you?
