Bigger complexes with pools and stuff tend to have income guidelines where you have to earn like 3x the amount of rent (ssi counts). So a smaller, more private apartment complex would be more likely to accept you. That's how it works down here, anyway. The only way I am getting into a big complex is by being a full time student and having my dad co-sign.
I'm getting a 400 sq ft studio apartment that's $509/ month, no utilities included, I get $674 for SSI and I'll be on foodstamps which might help up to $200/month... I'm estimating all my utilities will come to about $100, so that's $609, puls a $20/month rent increase for having a dog, so that's like $630, plus internet which is $20/month, so that's $650, which leaves me with $24/month. I'm going to be living very tight.

If this helps- my gym has a membership plan that is only $10 a month and they have showers at the gym.... I know its not a long term solution, but you may not find a magic bullet that fixes all your problems at once, you may have to find one solution at a time.
Seriously, get a job. I am 32 and since I got my working papers at 15 I've never not had a job. Even if it was bussing tables, or doing someone else's laundry, or sweeping up at the local hair salon. I am not telling you to commit fraud, but I've had a lot of cash jobs that were off the books. Mow lawns, rake leaves, split firewood, shovel snow, get a freekin paper route. Knock on your neighbor's doors or put a note in their mail boxes to see if they need help with the yard, or moving furniture, cleaning out the attic, whatever. I've gotten a lot of jobs just walking into places- Deli's, laundrymats, hair salons, restaurants etc and asking if they are hiring. PS. if you are going to try that, wear pants that fit. Make a good first impression.
