I have bad credit and am desperate to find an apartment in M?

I am currently going through a divorce and one of the main reasons I am divorcing my soon to be ex is that he has ruined me financially. My house is foreclosing and I need to find an apartment between Dighton, Ma and Bridgewater, Ma. Here's my problem. My credit since I have been married is terrible. I am very dependable and have been at the same job for almost 8 years. I can provide personal and professional references and pay a few months rent in advance if need be. What can I do? People with bad credit have to live somewhere, right? Help.. I don't want to end up homeless. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
