Unemployment ran out before I found work - 12 weeks in

My unemployment benefits end in 12 weeks and I have not found work as a call-centre agent. Any experience at all would help. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. Where did you get help with bills?

Food pantries and community kitchens helped us stretch the budget. No shame in using them.

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.
