Unhoused in St Louis

Moved to St Louis for work and rented an Air Bnb until I found permanent living. Long story short there was a huge layoff and I lost my job and of course shortly after my apartment. So now I'm a single 50 year old woman living in my car. I've been working instacart hoping to get back on my feet but everything I make goes to fuel and hopefully food. I've been to every shelter, contacted every charity only to be told no beds no funds. This heat is killing me and hard on my body for sure! My phone has been suspended and my car is in danger of repossession. Can anyone advise me on what I should do? Is there any charity that aids in hotels? Running out of places to park, seems like no matter where I find I end up being approached by people asking if I'm looking for drugs ugh! Needless to say I'm not getting much rest, I'm terrified, exhausted and don't know what to do.
