Chicago Move Gone Wrong: Need Support

I need to find a studio/1bed by April 3rd or I'm going to be homeless. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

I'm from California, just moved out to Chicago and I'm currently living in a hotel and have been since I moved here in late January. I left California because of the high cost of living there and my roommate who was a truck driver on a well paying account said he would move us out here and cover expenses until we found a place. Well. Less than a month after I drove across the country he lost his job and went back home to live with his family rent free leaving me stranded up here with my service dog, cat, and all my stuff (which isn't much because it was only the stuff I could fit in the back of my pickup truck) up here and we are only paid up until April 3rd. I can't really afford to extend my stay here at this hotel and pay the fees needed to move.

I do already have a job here and am looking to get another asap, of which seems like it will be successful in the endeavor soon.

But here's the catch, my credit is near ruined because I had to max out a credit card to survive and pay for food, toiletries, and this hotel I'm staying in. Once I get my first paychecks I will be paying it down but until then I'm stuck.

I don't care about how nice/unkempt the place is, or where it is, I've lived in rough areas before, I just need a roof over my head while I get back on my feet. I've been looking at studios in the range of $500-$1000 because that's all I can really afford right now. I don't have any evictions ot anything like that, just the poor credit and dwindling funds keeping me afloat.

I've been doing everything I can to find a place right now. I've been looking into local government assistance, low income housing, literally anything I don't care. I would move back home if I could, but the only reason the moving in with friends/family isn't really on the table is because none of those places have space for me. My parents have been living in my grandmother's house since I was about 12, and I was living there as well well into my late 20's, the issue is my parents are/were quite abusive and heavy meth users since I was about 6-8yrs old (I'm 30, my mom quit, but I don't know about my father). Its not really a safe option for me to go home, so this is kind of my make it or break it time right now. The reason I'm making this gofundme is just to put some feelers out because I am getting very scared and desperate.

I'm just honestly scared guys I really don't want to be homeless.

But thank you for taking the time to read my sob story, like I said, anything helps.
