Homeless with pets, what to do with them?

I'm writing in hopes that someone knows of some place that could help. I'm in NJ and as of the 1st have been homeless. The problem is I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. The local shelter is filled and can't take until there is an opening. They have 1 cat in a queue but that's it. They gave me a list of other places that could help but in my county of Burlington there is literally 2 places and neither are taking in any without bring in a wait list.

The dogs are currently in a motel room I have for a couple of days and the cats are at a friend's house but that can only be for a couple more days.

I really do not know what to do with them. I'm trying to do the right thing but the right thing keeps smacking me in the face. What are you supposed to do if no one will take them?

Does anyone know of other options in NJ. I've tried places from Burlington to Voorhees and keep being told they can't accept any without a waiting list and interview and then even then would only be one animal at a time. I can't keep them in the car because my car is filled with my stuff. It's like a nightmare worse than hell. Thanks in advance.
