    Can you apply at senior citizen retirement homes?
    Many of them go according to your income.

    Does your town/municipality have some kind of government assistance? Maybe you can look into that and see if they can give you some options. Do you have any friends that no longer have their husbands? Maybe you can live with her? Try and get a few women together, (think "Golden Girls") and the rent will be cheaper split between you all.

    Almost every community has a low income housing, there is a waiting list but you get your name on it. You check with senior centers for other seniors looking for someone to share an apartment with.

    And if in risk, go to a women's shelter, check with your place of worship to see if there is assistance there.
