Help me move- tenant of 18 years in same apt

Donation protected
Hi, as some of you know, I have lived in my apartment as a perfect tenant for 18 years. I raised my son and dogs here, fostered dozens of dogs here and loved living here.

The annual building inspection wanted the property owner to do so many things to the building (roof, siding, windows etc) that they decided to renovate the entire building inside and out. My lease was renewed every year for July 29th and without warning was not being renewed this year. I need to be out by then, I found out 2 weeks ago.

I live in Burlington which has a less than one percent availability rate for apartments. If you find one, you take it immediately. Our homelessness rates are frightening.

I found an apartment within 2 weeks! That is not enough time to save for new first month's rent, security deposit and actual moving expenses. I am juggling through pulling together funds from other sources (loans etc) but it's a process and every penny borrowed must obviously be returned. I am asking for any help one can spare to supplement my additional other sources I come up with to help move my dog and me into our new apartment.

I am grateful for all of the emotional support I have received and am hard at work scrambling elsewhere but thought maybe this could help too- my stress levels are at some of the highest they've been in many years. thank you!
