<prompt> Human: Hi guys, Im a first time poster, doing so out of desperation. As the title says Im in a very tight place money-wise and trying to find a solution, so I was hoping I might find advice here.For the past five years I was working in the IT field, making enough money to get by but due to structure changes I lost my job and the little savings I had have since run out. Im applying for jobs everywhere I can but havent gotten hired yet and rent is coming up very soon. Im not able to take any loans from my bank, I dont have family and few friends, Ive looked into payday loans but I dont know if Ill be able to pay it off in time and theyre typically for lower amounts anyway.Ive read that there are housing assistance programs but it seems like those are mostly for families, people with other income or people already homeless. I dont fit any of that criteria, so Im wondering, is there anything at all I can do? Im more than willing to put the work in for any applications or interviews that Id need to do, I just dont know where to look.Please let me know if you need any more information from me to be able to help, and thanks so much in advance.  <response>: It was time to talk to the landlord when you first lost your job. Better late than never, so you better talk to himher now. If you have been on time for the last five years theyll probably let it slide for a month or two, but dont expect more than that. Its time to cast a bigger drag net in the job search, too. Consider a longer commute or jobs you might consider yourself over qualified for. If lowering expectations have a different resume prepared that wont make you appear over qualified. Its just going to be a paycheck to keep you above water for a short amount of time. Also check Craigslist. In my area, there are always ads posted by people looking for help with yard work, etc. Every little bit will help.
