Facing Eviction in the Bay Area

My name is Nea Arthur ,and pictured is one of my two housemates, Jerry Cluney. We've both lived in our house in the Bay Area for eight years, and he's lived here even longer- since 1995, almost 25 years. Our third housemate, Art Maybury, moved in with us this year. Our landlord decided to cancel our lease in retaliation for trying to get him to help us fix major issues around the house, including a major bug infestation and a roof that was leaking so badly it destroyed a light fixture.

We have been having absolutely no luck locking a place down due to bad credit and unemployment, even when we hit the income thresholds they're asking for.

We're asking for help to try to gather the deposit and first month's rent for a unit, as well as pay off some of my credit card debt to hopefully quickly raise my credit score and thus be able to lock a place down.

Our 7000 dollar goal encompasses approximately 3000 in first month's rent, 3000 in deposit, and 1000 in paying off my credit cards. Anything extra will go towards groceries and balance on my credit. this is the absolute bare minimum price for a 3 bedroom place in the bay area right now.

I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't absolutely desperate. I have tried just about everything, and so far nothing has panned out. I'm hoping being able to offer more in deposit and pull up my credit score will help, or if not will at least let us get a hotel or the like for a few weeks while we continue searching.
