Benefits are ending soon and I have no offer - 24 weeks in

The claim window is closing and I am worried about bills. There are 10 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. Did you find short-term work?

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.

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