I am a 22F. My dad passed away two weeks ago while our house was on the market. It was just him and I who were living there. My mom passed 10 years ago from cancer as we were moving in. He owed a lot of money on the house which is why he put it on the market. Right now there is an offer for $435k, which would leave my brother and I with about $2k each after paying the realtor and paying off all his loans. Besides that, I really don't have any money. I took a leave of absence from work in the beginning of October so I could be a caregiver to my dad. I applied for a paid in-home position but he passed by the time I got approved.
Right now my brother is taking the semester off Berkeley to help me sell all the furniture in the house. That will likely be our biggest source of income from all of this. I live in California and after looking at rooms for rent nearby, I can't even afford a $400/mo room which is the cheapest I could find. I have a friend in Oregon who's living with her mom and they want me to move in with them until I'm able to live on my own. In the meantime, I'm also applying for a dependency override for my college's financial aid.
I'm really grateful for my friend and her mom but I was wondering if there are any programs or anything to help out someone in this kind of situation? I would ideally like to stay in California, especially close to Sacramento where I am currently. I know I can't be picky right now, though.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much!
