Answer 1

Your question has been truncated and I can't seem to access the rest of it.   However, from what I gather from this question and your previous question in another area of Yahoo Answers is that something terrible has happened and you have been issued a 72 hour notice to quit by the landlord.  

I don't need to know the terrible thing that's happened to know that you've seen this coming for quite a while.  72 hour notices to quit are only issued AFTER the landlord goes to court and shows that s/he has cause for eviction and that s/he has attempted all other remedies.  This means that you have not adequately responded to the landlord’s attempts to remedy the situation, even after receiving notice of the court date.

This is a great question and an exceptionally poignant one because sometimes bad and unexpected things do happen and people lose their housing.  However, it needed to have been asked weeks ago when those who could assist you would have had time to do so.  It sounds like you now either have to enter the Suffolk County Family Shelter system, (about which I know little) or temporarily separate from your children (perhaps their father could take them for a bit?) while you find another place.  I’m sorry, but I don’t see any other options.
