Since it looks like you won't get any help there something I would try and it's not so far-fetched as you would think, but contact the mayor's office and I almost guarantee that they have some sort of program that could help. I know that's not really the answer you were looking for, but I hope that it helps you. Even if just a little bit, I know that little bit helps.
No, the program is closed, but try 211.
