What happens when you haven’t found a house yet?

I am doing my final phase of my doctorate program (6 months to go), non-EU, living with husband (unemployed) at student residence whose rental contract is coming to an end in 3 weeks. We have been searching for an affordable apartment (budget 1200/-) for the last 3 months. Been successful to view only 3 apartments but the challenge has always been the limited time on my contract. This is what I have been told exclusively by some agents. We have tried short stay options but most are super expensive considering we have 1 income (~2800). Our agent said that can’t extend/renew the rental contract. We have paid for Pararius, Kamarnet, Holland2stay, HousingAnywhere among others. Still no luck. I need to know, what happens in such a situation?

PS: I tried to ask my immediate supervisor be my guarantor but he said he couldn’t because he has mortgage payments.

I'm approaching my final 6 months of my Engineering Doctorate (€3,029 gross/month) and I'm now required to report to the office in Amsterdam, which is currently 2 hours away from where I live. On top of that, my current rental contract is coming to an end. The problem: we only have one income. My partner hasn't been able to find a job yet. I'm open to housing up to 1 hour from Amsterdam, but every place I come across has a catch; either the income requirement is too high, or we don't meet age criteria (we're 32 & 34). Does anyone have tips for where we can find housing around Amsterdam that might work for our situation?DMs are open. Thanks in advance
