We have asked all out family to co-sign, no one can. Is there any places, besides a shelter, we can go?? And/Or Does any shelters offer to help find a stable place to live after a certain period of time?

Find a small landlord. A lot of individuals own homes, duplexes and small apartment complexes (ie a 4 plex) that don't want to pay to belong to one of the associations that let them check credit.
Also, I have found in the past that one of the advantages of working with an individual, instead of an employee of a corporation is that they have the ability to be flexible. Often, if you explain up front that you've had a problem (I would not volunteer this info if they aren't going to check..just suggesting this as an option if a small landlord is still going to look), and why you are doing better now, they'll give you a break.
I have had landlords know about bad credit and still rent to me. Sometimes it means a bigger deposit, sometimes it didn't. There are a lot of people out there that like helping out people who've had a bad run, as long as you are now able to pay the rent.
Even when my credit has sucked, I have NEVER stiffed a landlord because I didn't want my kids homeless. It has helped that I could say "call my old landlords and ask."
If you did have a bad relationship with a landlord (I did tell one jerk what he could do with himself after he removed his head from where the sun doesn't shine), then in many cases, you can have a friend pretend to be that person. It's not honest, but I've done that one too.
If that isn't helping, and or your really can't promise stable income, call your county human services department. There SHOULD be emergency cash and/or housing available if you're really broke. They can help you find stable housing, and if you're truly low income, you may even qualify for a housing subsidy.
Good luck.

Your best chance is to find a for rent by owner property. Any apt that is owned by a large real estate company, or listed with a real estate agent, will require a credit check.
I suggest you get references from a previous landlord, if possible.

Sorry, yet i might desire to disagree. credit comments are plenty like checklist enjoying cards as quickly as we've been at college basically rather of exhibiting how stable/undesirable we are doing in our analyze they tutor how stable/undesirable we are doing at dealing with our debt. Having been married to a girl who became a sources supervisor of an particularly great house complicated i know how annoying it rather is to evict deadbeats that don't pay, so why not in simple terms run credit exams and don't lease to them interior the 1st place. you have not got everybody responsible to your detrimental credit different than the guy in retrospect at you from the mirror. no one owes you a roof over your head or a job.
