You need to get in touch with your local Housing Authority as soon as possible.
It depends on your personal circumstances as to wether they have to house you or not.
The main homelessness duty is owed to people who have a 'priority need' and are not 'intentionally homeless' (that is, judged as having made themselves homeless through their own actions). You may be considered 'intentionally homeless' if you have deliberately done something which has made you lose your home. The local authority must look at each case individually
Priority need groups include households with children and people who are vulnerable as a result of old age or mental or physical disability (set out in Homelessness Code of Guidance for Local Authorities). People not in these categories are only entitled to receive advice and assistance on how to find suitable accommodation.
If you qualify as homeless, the local authority will have to help you. It does not have to provide accommodation from its own properties. It can house you in various ways, for example, by referring you to a housing association, or arranging accommodation with a private landlord.
If the local authority decides that you are not homeless, it does not have any duties to arrange long-term accommodation for you. However, it will have some duties to help you, and must provide advice and assistance in finding accommodation, or provide a temporary place to stay while you find a permanent home.
Hope this helps, if you need any more specific advice, I'll do my best to help - email me :)

First get a job or two or three. After you do that ask your parents or unmarried siblings or best friend if you can temporarily move in with them. Assure them that you'll only be home to sleep since you'll be working all day.
Do that and you'' be back on your feet in no time.

Find a homeless shelter. Move to your parents or get some money from them for rent.

Go to the council and apply for a council house. Tell them about your situation , you should stand a good chance. You can then put into buy it in a few years and It could work out well for you.

Contact the Local Authority homlessness section and any local housing associations.
If you are having difficulty paying your rent have you contacted your local Housing Benefit office to see if you are entitled to claim ?

So what happened between your last payment and now? Exactly when did you realize that you weren't going to make payment? That's when you need to ask for help. If your landlord is already throwing you out, I guess you're just screwed
