Need some advice for my struggling mom houston

Hey everyone,

I'll try to keep this short.

My mom is struggling to find work and is dead broke. She has some form of schizophrenia and takes medication, but she's kind of a quirky individual because of this. She has held numerous temp jobs over the last few years, but nothing pans out. Im sure her illness impacts her ability to retain a job.

I'm currently a grad student and live in another state. She recently told me she doesn't have enough food or money to pay rent. I gave her what I could to cover her expenses, but this isn't sustainable because I'm not exactly making money. She also isn't carless with her expenses, as her apartment and refrigerator have the bare minimum in it. She doesn't drink or do drugs either. She's just poor.

I don't know what to do for her. We're not incredibly close, but I'd be devastated if she became homeless. She's an incredibly sweet woman who volunteers all the time. She means well, she's just sick.

Can anyone recommend any type of assistance she might be able to receive or organizations she can reach out to? I'm trying to make a game plan for her to get help immediately so she doesn't end up on the street.

Thank you so much in advance for all your help. I really appreciate any advice you can give.
