You could try going to the American Job Center in Waterbury, the folks there can connect you with services around you (housing, food, job search assistance). They also have computers you can use to look for jobs, apply, and update your resume, etc. There are a lot of folks struggling right now but these services are free.
It’s at 249 Thomaston Ave, look for the small blue awning on the side of the building.

Maybe this is a scam, I don’t know, but I have a little time to kill, so:
What part of the state are you in? Knowing that will let people make suggestions that you can actually drive to. Are you still working? How have you been eating since you lost the house last month?
Give us a some more information, it’s hard to give advice with what you’ve written here.

Reply to comment by BoatAccidentSurvivor in CT's legislature salaries are starvation wages, $28k/year. You have to be retired or rich to serve. This is regressive and should be changed. by MormonReformist
Then only rich folks and retirees would be in the legislature, everyone else needs to work.

Most of them do have other income, no one is disputing that. But what professions allow you to take several months off each year to go to Hartford? Take a look at the current legislators we have - a big proportion are lawyers, real estate agents, or retired. Our current structure excludes basically everyone else. That’s fine with you? You don’t think we might benefit from having other perspectives in Hartford?

Reply to comment by DarkDeSantis in Moving to Watertown? by Original-Candidate-9
Watertown is represented by a state senator who had a Qanon sticker on his car in 2020 (if you don’t believe me, look it up, it got plenty of press that year), and this year he still got 70% of the vote in Watertown. That’s in addition to the strong Trump and Stefanowski support that the OP mentioned, so I’m curious why you feel it’s not a conservative town?

When you go in, let them know you’re there for employment services and ask if you can speak with a career counselor. Then let that person know your full situation and ask if they can make referrals for you (for housing assistance, food, etc). They are mostly CT DOL staff in there but there are partner agencies who can help as well.
Good luck.
