My boyfriend and I are currently homeless with our 2 kids. We’re trying to rent an apartment but everywhere is so expensive and require credit checks. We’re both going to job interviews to secure long term employment.
How can we get a roof over our children’s heads?
Please no judging or unkind comments.
You picked up a new boyfriend and an extra kid in the last two weeks?

No one is going to rent an apartment to two unemployed adults.
I would stop trying to waste energy looking for that to happen and start looking for shelters.
Seems like it🤔 Maybe they trying to share rent.
Lots of unhelpful comments. Whatever, here we are. I would look for a cheap hotel room if possible. A motel or something. Might be easier than long term rental until you get jobs.
Look at op’s old posts. Makes zero sense.
Good luck! Rentals around here are way too expensive. I hope you all get a good place soon.
Please be sure to check if the state offers any form of help finding and securing an apartment.
Unhelpful comments because based on other posts the OP has made it sounds like BS.
Nobody is going to rent to you and that's not judging or being unkind. You should be in a family shelter until you can get on your feet.

Even in that case, saying nothing seems better all around. A snarky reddit response isn't going to help anything.
Try Organizations like Neighbor works and Community care alliance. I believe they can point you in the right direction for getting a place to live possibly giving you really good assistance
I’m with ya. If it is BS or you determined it to be BS then let it ride. Don’t fed it.
This seems like a needlessly shitty response. I assumed when I saw your reply that she was flat out lying, but when you read her last post its really obvious what the situation is.
If your not going to be helpful, why comment?
I'll never understand why people like you go out of your way to throw shade or pass judgement. Do snarky comments make you feel better about yourself? Some sad people out there.
19d ago you said your boyfriend was done with you?

She could be in an abusive relationship. I was broken up with 100+ times a month.
I don't know why people seem to think it's some kind of 'gotcha' to point out that they broke up a few weeks ago. This is a thing that happens in the world. Like wtf is the point of dunking on someone who's clearly having a shitty time of it.
Why is it so hard to understand/believe that someone would get back together with someone they broke up with 19 days ago? Do you all live in the world, around people? This is a thing that people do.
Talk to a social worker at a local health clinic or through a shelter.
Punch down much?
Is it fun to punch down on someone who's having a hard time? What did your parents do to you?
You actually investigated OP? Ffs. Hard to understand how people in a bad place triggers people like you.
Unfortunately being unemployed and not being able to pass a credit check means you’re not going to get an apartment from a private owner. A shelter or family would be the only option’ sorry to say
You have about the same chances of getting a spot in a shelter as you do getting an apartment
Par for the course
