Benefits are ending soon and I have no offer - 17 weeks in

The claim window is closing and I am worried about bills. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. What did you do after benefits ran out?

Call 211 to hear about emergency help with rent or utilities in your area. The list was longer than I expected.

I took a temp job while I kept looking. It covered rent, and the agency sent me to a permanent job within a couple of months.
