Accepted as a transfer, became homeless after applying

I kind of know who I need to reach out to according to the website, but I feel a bit overwhelmed and scared. If anyone has advice or experience, that would be incredibly helpful! My big concerns at the moment are:

- Housing. Is it too late to apply for a summer job/internship and get campus housing until the fall semester?

- The cost of the enrollment and orientation fees. Does anyone know if these can be waived or delayed until my first bill? I am eligible for full pell/sub and unsub loans and UMBC gave me enough money on top of that to cover tuition (and a little extra for books/fees, not enough for housing though).

- Proving I'm homeless. I'm bouncing between friends and haven't needed to utilize a shelter or anything, so I haven't talked to anyone (my therapist knows, so do the friends helping me). I'm worried that because I don't have "proof" I won't be able to access any of the resources I need.

Thank you all in advance!
