    Hi @Mothermary - Welcome to the community. I'm sorry to read about your situation, & hope perhaps one of the following may be helpful.
    - Contact your local council, who should help.
    - You could also try the Salvation Army: https://www.salvationarmy.org/ who help people regardless of their faith, if they have one.
    - There's also Shelter: https://www.shelter.org.uk/
    - Some housing associations offer sheltered accommodation, & ongoing support. Some will also let you rent out part of the property, e.g see this one: https://www.homegroup.org.uk/  It may all depend what's available near you.
    I hope you get things resolved quickly, & kindly let us know how you get on.

    People do share a home & split the rent, so long as the landlord has no objection. Something you'd have to find out first. It all might be difficult at the moment due to Covid-19, as you shouldn't be with someone who is not of your household. Perhaps use the time to look into the pros & cons for when lockdown gets lifted. :)
