Unemployment ran out before I found work - 24 weeks in

My unemployment benefits end in 24 weeks and I have not found work as a mechanic. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. Where did you get help with bills?

Ask your state agency about any extended programmes. Mine did not advertise them, but they existed.

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