Unfortunately websites will not help you, local governments tend to only give you contact info for social services. Each city is different with what they offer and how to go about getting it so your best best bet is look up your city government social services department, give them a call and go from there.
just go to your local department of social services office and apply


they will tell you what you qualify for





and get a job or two even
WIC
getting a job, that seems to work for the rest of us.
