I've seen all these charities everywhere wanting donations, but I haven't been able to find a way to get assistance. I am living with my parents with my husband and daughter. We need to get assistance. We can't live in government apartments due to my husband's record. He's not working and I only get paid $6 an hour with 15 hours a week. He's been looking for work everywhere. I think his record is preventing a lot of things from happening. He's trying to change his life around. Sometimes it seems like we'd be better off if he went back into a life of crime. I know it's not true, but I feel so hopeless. People are judging me for staying with him and I know I'm doing what is right. It's not what is easy, but it's right. I hope someone can help my family and not judge us. My husband is a hard worker, but he can't get work. My parents don't like him so they are making us miserable. I do work for them and it's never right. They want to split us up, but I can't let that happen. Please help us

Call your cities department of social services and request to speak with a case worker who can help you figure out what you are eligible for.

Either you or you husband need to get a better job. If he can't find work, he can stay home and do the house work while you go out and make the money (you don't have a criminal record do you?), While he is at home watching the kid, he can learn a skill or trade where he can be self employed, like a mechanic.
If he becomes a mechanic, does good work, and don't try to take advantage of people he will get a loyal client list and not have to worry about his criminal record unless he start working on stolen cars.
P.S: If your parents don't like him, y'all should move out as soon as possible. I wouldn't want a non working man, living under my roof, shagging my daughter, and eating my food either, rather he had a criminal record or not (a man should be able to take care of his family, or he shouldn't get married.)
Maybe he could go stay with his parents, until y'all get on your feet financially, and if y'all are not living together, you will be able to apply to Family Services for some help.

My husband is currently serving time in prison and will be facing this issue soon. There are various place you can contact. The town or city hall should be able to help direct you to service for assistance with Rent, Electricity, Heat and Food Pantries. It could benefit your family if you contact Family and Child Services or Department of Health and Human Services in your state.
Also I would encourage your husband to find employment agencies in your area to at least get a job. You can find temp to permanent positions available. Finding a job for him will be difficult for him, but this is not your responsibility. You need to make your life your own and move out of your family's home. It sounds like there is more going on. Try looking for a full time job yourself.
