I'm 20 and currently living at home. My parents have been gone for about a year and a half now and they do not help me whatsoever. Although they have let me stay in their house while they were paying for bills + etc. I've had to pay for Hydro, heat and cable ($900) and I also have to buy my own food. I lost my job a month ago and my parents are returning to Canada in August and they have asked me to start paying rent as of July 20th if I want to stay in their house.
I called Ontario Works and I was told that I am not eligible for it. But I am unemployed and as of July 20th, I will have nowhere to live. What can I do?
