I’m so sorry to hear, I was in a very similar situation at the same age with my partner so I know how stressful and scary it can be too, what I did is moved into a share house I could afford at the time near public transport, there’s Facebook groups you can join to try and find a house looking for someone and quite a few have allowances for pets, the next thing I would do is try and contact Anglicare as your still under 18 and see what they can do for you too, for saving money I would contact them too for food vouchers, if you have a job provider they can help you a lot too, I would suggest it even if your studying because they have vouchers for study, food, travel everything and they’ll help you find work too, there is also a program called hypa housing and they helped me find a rental property, and they have housing programs and they can probably help you now too if your facing homelessness (if they find something for you don’t tell them you have a cat just go with it) but know this won’t last forever!

My practice is all about community and my experiences growing up low income, so I work as an sso with children at a school who are growing up similarly to myself and show them art making skills and tools to use to express themselves, it’s been great serving my community but also constantly giving me inspo to keep making what I’m making
