Options for affordable housing for a first time lone student

Good morning r/Denver.

I'm working at the Hospital as a Transporter part time at 17 an hour ~25 hrs a week. I'm also going to college to become a Rad Tech and using Medicaid. I recently learned that my roommate is telling me they're not renewing the lease for the apartment we live in and I need to find a place to live by end of year. I live in Northglenn and work in Aurora.

I already use financial aid for classes, so I can't get food stamps, so I was wondering what other resources are out there that I can look into to find affordable housing. I'm not being a choosy begger, but I would prefer a place that isn't completely run down with cockroaches as I have a pretty severe phobia of roaches. I was born and raised in Florida and lived out here 5-6 years so I don't really know much about resources. And this would be the first time I live on my own.

Any information is good information. The last thing I want is to go back to Miami as the momentum of the life I'm working for would be over, with no benefits or anything feasible in Florida.

If I'm breaking any rules please let me know, and if so is this okay to post in r/Denver
