🚨 Crisis Mode
You co-signed a house to help your family, but now the primary earner lost their job. You're 20, in college, and working doubles just to keep the lights on for your mom and minor sibling. When you're the sole provider facing eviction, you need to know exactly what your shortfall is and what government aid you qualify for.
💸 Monthly Obligations
List your essential monthly bills. Skip the credit cards and unsecured debt for now—focus on the four walls: housing, transportation, utilities, and food.
📉 Income & Household
Enter your current take-home pay and household size. If you're working doubles, put your average monthly take-home. Household size determines your eligibility for most government assistance.
🏛️ Government Assistance
Based on your household size and income, you may qualify for federal and state assistance. Programs like SNAP (food stamps) and TANF (cash assistance for families with minors) exist exactly for this situation. Your mom should apply for unemployment immediately.
