i just turned 19 a week ago, my parents told me i have till the 1st of January to move. i get paid 7.50 an hour, i cant support myself on that. im currently looking for a job. i cant afford anyplace to live so im planning on moving to a trailer and getting food stamps will i can support myself. but i have no clue where to go to look for a trailer or how to apply for foodstamps.
im freaking out righ now because my parents gave me a deadline and they are serious about it. i dont have ANY money saved up, i had about a thousand saved up last month but ALL of that went to buying my car. so now i have money again. and im freaking out because i know i cant support myself but my parents will not let me stay no matter what.
im not worried about furniture or anything like that. i just really need to know where to get foodstamps/wic and a trailer in the Virginia Beach area.
thank you so much. any information will be greatly appreciated

If you want to rent a place by yourself, you'd need to come up with first month's rent, last month's rent, and possibly security deposit. Since you don't have any of that, and you also don't have a decent job, what I'd strongly suggest is that you get some sort of roommate situation. That's what most people do at first, because it helps you cut costs. Share an apartment or a trailer (two bedroom trailers do exist) for a while, until you get your feet under you, financially. Then decide your next steps. So for now, start looking at places like Craigslist, and your newspaper classified ads, to see what apartment shares cost where you live.
In addition, make it a priority to find a better job.
You might qualify for food stamps. You won't qualify for WIC, since you don't have a kid. Google Food Stamps and learn what the process is.
An option for you is the military. They'd pay you, house you, clothe you, feed you. You'd gain solid work experience, especially if you can get into their medical or one of their trade fields. They'd even pay for you to go to college when you came out. If you want to consider a branch where you don't tend to get deployed, look at the Coast Guard. There's actually a Coast Guard base right there in Virginia Beach, so you may be able to get in locally. Maybe go online and find a local recruiter, go speak to him about your options, see what you think. You don't have to commit to anything - just go talk to him and see what you think.
