As much as I hate saying this but your credit may have to be an option.

It may a good time to get some plants and try to grow some of your own food.
Water catching system and possible chickens that lay eggs and could be used for food.
However it does take time to grow tour own food.
OTHER OPTIONS:
WORK FROM HOME:
If your one of the people who can work from home great but there is not enough of these types of jobs for the masses being laid off.
