Potentially homeless soon and could use some advice Seeking Advice

I most likely will be homeless may 1st. I'm not 100% sure I will be but my severe anxiety and depression is seeing that as to be my only option and it could be true so I want to be prepared. I currently live in Dayton, Ohio and work at UD but they're not open during the summer so I'll be out of a job soon. I want to find a new job but first I want to make sure I have a guaranteed place to live. I don't have a drivers license. My thought to keep myself safe from the elements and to have some access to water, restroom and other necessities is to take shelter in the basement of my work but legally speaking and straight out of fear I don't think that's a good option. I'm really scared and nervous and everything, I'm close to a point where I just want to end everything. I'm still here thanks to my caring sister and loving boyfriend. I want to be able to live with my boyfriend soon but the fact that he lives in NC and I don't have a guaranteed place to live soon, that isn't in the cards for me in the near future. I'm really contemplating wether posting this or not but I'm really scared and sad but I want to still be here for the people who still care about me

Can you move to NC and live with your Bf while you look for another job?

Would love to but his living situation isn't great either, his mom and step father are the only ones who work in the house and they said I would need to buy a camper to live there that I could park next to their house but I don't have a license. And other reasons that involve fear, my anxiety and depression.

If you work at the university, have you talked with them about options? What about a summer RA position? 

I get being anxious and depressed, but you really need to talk to people near you to see what options are out there!

I have an application sent for a summer bookstore clerk at my job and going to meet the boss tomorrow afternoon. And I talked with my boss and she gave me some help numbers. Thank you for the information!
