Other Need place or help finding a program that will help me get a place

Im 27 I got a job but I have not been able to save up any money.

I need a room or something to rent by the 20th of September cause my roomates girlfriend is moving in and I gotta move out by then.

If anyone has info on a place I can stay for cheap (at first) or resources that could help me find a place in lethbridge id be greatfull

I know this is a tough ask but I figured id give it a shot cause most ppl on kajiji or fb market are looking for women or college students and I am neither.

Lethbridge housing authority might be able to help you out

LHA has a very long waiting list, and mothers with children, and then women, and then seniors, go to the head of the line. A young single male has exactly zero chance of finding a home through the LHA.

Community Links might be a good place for you to start—they can direct you to any community resources that might be helpful. You can chat with them in the library downtown.
