As the title states, my housing situation has fallen apart and I need to find somewhere to live by September 15th.

I'm starting a new job that's guaranteed to be full-time hours, starting in a couple of weeks, but as of now, I have no savings, no credit, no car, no rental history, and $3 in my bank account. I cannot move out with any of my family because they each individually live in 1 Bedrooms/Studios and just don't have the room. That being said, they have offered to help me pay for my first months rent wherever I end up.

I was a full-time student enrolled at my local city college, but due to my housing situation, I've had to drop out of school to find full-time work, so FAFSA quickly denied me.

From what I've found when looking into local resources, the schools nearby don't seem to offer dorms or homestay for student's that aren't currently enrolled and finding a cheap room to rent in the LA area without credit or rental history is virtually impossible. I've considered moving out with multiple roommates, but due to time constraints and my lack of credit and current pay-stubs, it's not looking like it will be easy.

The other factor is my dog. I have a 6-month-old mixed breed dog who currently weighs 20lbs. I adopted him when I was financially stable and thought that my housing situation was the same. I love him and don't even want to consider the idea of him not living with me, but he's obviously been an issue when looking at different places and I don't know what to do.

I guess what I'm looking for is any ideas you folks might have about resources for someone in my situation, whether that be advice for handling my paychecks and getting on better footing financially in the next few months, ideas for how to rent with no history or credit, any programs that might be beneficial for someone in my situation, along with any other advice you might find helpful.

TL;DR I'm a 19y/o girl who's had to drop out of college to find full-time work due to a recent housing crisis, need to find a place to live by 9/15 with only enough money to cover first month's rent.
