First, check in with social services in your area as well as the local department of employment for your city / town, etc. If you need emergency help, the social services centers are the ones that can help with that, but you'll need to fill in some paperwork, etc. Talk to one of those & get a shelter or other similar temporary housing for a family.

Then, make sure to hound the people at the employment department (but be nice) until you get something started, also look for temporary "odd jobs" types of things to tide you over till you land a full time gig.

Last, take a deep breath, keep a cool head, and remind yourself that as long as you're pushing for it, everything will work out just fine.

Best,
