Single mom, newly separated - no work history

I have three kids, 1 starting at UCal this fall, one in college right now, one in elementary. My spouse and I are separating, he was paying for all the bills and I was a housewife and cared for all the kids needs. He's left us dry, is now unemployed, and I have to figure out where we are going to live as the landlord is selling the home.

I've gone to viewings and all of them ask for bank statements and proof of employment. Some ask for proof of these things before the viewing. I know why they do this and I have nothing against them, but I just need a chance to breathe and not be homeless with my kids next month.

Sure I will start with an employment agency soon...but no one is hiring someone like me whose last job was over 20 years ago. I need time to rebuild, time I do not have. I am exhausted. What agencies can help with getting a single mom a job fast...? :(
