Hello I just leased a 1 bedroom and have no family etc. I am living in Las Vegas and am working full time and going to school full time. I was told to get involved with any financial aid programs I am eligible for, wether it’s social security or FAFSA, etc. I got my FAFSA, but I am not going to be able to make ends meet, just barely. What are some programs I can sign up for to get aid with housing, food, school, etc wether it’s through the govt, a grant, a loan, etc
