<prompt> Human: I am not certain if this is the perfect subreddit for this, if not please send me in the correct direction.My girlfriends father is entirely royally boned right now. His mother just passed away whom he was effectively living off of thanks to an odd living situation at a home she was in. This coming situation is multiple different kinds of horrible and I do not believe there is much he can do to be helped.He is given 900 a month from the government, which is already not a real livable wage. As well my GF looked up his credit score for him only to find out he has horrible credit, and is over 3K in debt. In the process of searching for an apartment that would work under this atrocious condition it came out that he has an assault charge on his record as well. And to make things worse he has a chemical imbalance that makes him very tired all of the time so finding a job is incredibly unlikely. No, this is not a joke.Any help in terms of resources or advice on how to manage that 900 would be appreciated. Im coming here first but will be diving into the interwebs for more help. Thanks in advance.Update: Im kind of pissed and annoyed. His financial situation is very poor for our area, and at best would be scrapping by. I have made it clear that a requirement for help of any kind from my side, or my GF would be that he needs to seek a legitimate job. I have found many companies that seemingly would be fine with his assault charge if he could just convey good personality and be honest about what it was. However every time we even talk to him he refuses to maintain his story or just be forward about it. I did find out though, that it was an assault of a child while he was a teacher. So yea, hes fucked So, having spent a few days earlier this week stressing about this, and the last 24 hours having the situation overpower my own life and become more and more ridiculous. Effectively Im not going to try and help him anymore than passing along the information I already have and telling him to figure it out. Hes not working with us, so Im not working with him. Luckily GF is also on board with letting him do it himself. Thank you for the assistance, I can update later how it goes for him, hopefully he gets himself together.Update: So, the funeral is today, Friday, and last night the man had a panic attack and went into the hospital. Supposedly because of the stress of the situation. He is going to miss the funeral which is happening as I make this update.Update: The man is still in the hospital, and apparently is being held tin the psych ward.Final Update: Someone, we presume at the hospital that he was in for almost 2 weeks, helped him find a group home. He is now living with a few other people and is probably out of our hair for a long time.Thanks again.  <response>: You - actually GFs father - needs to be talking to a social worker. Benefits, programs, and resources available to the less fortunate tend to be highly localized, and in some cases, more easily accessible if you are working with an experienced caseworker. Start with your local Community Action Agency, United Way, mental health association, even a local chapter of The Salvation Army is a good place to start.
