In my teen years we lost everything, couldn't afford to exist, they took the house and kicked us out. We were fortunate enough that we managed to afford to live in a small motel room for a while. Four of us crammed into a tiny motel room. It was hard, but we made do. We moved to an "extended stay suites" place so we at least had a motel room that had a bedroom attached until we could get some money together and rent a house. Scary times. I'm glad we didn't end up on the street, and as an insulin dependent diabetic those times were tough, I was down at my endocrinologist a lot asking for help to get sample vials or stabilizing injections just to stay alive, but things absolutely could have been worse. On the streets I would have been dead quickly.
To be honest, here it's quite affordable to rent a place to live, maybe you won't get a particular zone you want, but you can get nice stuff for around $100-$120 per month. What's the catch over here? you spend a lot of time on traffic and the weather is horribly hot and humid.
