The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and Wagner-Peyser are huge federal grants/programs that are available nationwide. Participants are unemployed OR underemployed. These are social service programs to help people get employed.

As for housing, food, medical, etc. each state has somewhat different requirements, BUT if you are truly in need, you can find help.
