   I can suggest that you have to start by going to your local social
services and ask for help  .
 This doesn't mean that you will automatically get it, but it's where
you start.
 Welfare, as you call it, is separate from section 8. food stamps are
often available even when little or no other help is.
 They can tell you where to apply for section 8. Be warned, there is
most likely a long waiting list.
 I'm disabled myself, and get SSI. I am on a local section 8 waiting
list, and have been for well over a year. May be another year or longer
before I get anywhere near the head of the list.
 Anyway, if you actually are unable to work, you may be eligible for
some kind of help, but it's not always easy to get. It took many years
before I was able to prove I was permanently disabled, and it took 2
years after I applied for SSI to become approved.
 good luck...

 P.S.
  For the record, I spent many years working when I should not have.
Only gave in when there was no choice left...
