Advice Needed!!!1

So like most would know I am 18 years old and pregnant. I am 24 weeks with a lil boy. Well I still live at home with my mom. She is married to a guy I have never approved of since I was 5 years old. He sexually harrased me when I was little when I told her she didn't believe me and she took his side. By the way this was like around when I was 12 years old. Anyhow that he has never liked me because I am not his daughter. Well since my mom is going thru fanancial problems right now he is the one that buys the food at home. He hides it from me!!! And he also tell my other brothers when he brings "that is only for you guys" I feel horrible and since I am pregnant I get so imotional. Basiclly what I am trying to say is that my whole I have been putting of with his stuff. I just want to get out of this house so bad!!!! My boyfriend who supports me wants to get me out of here as soon as possible cause all they do is make me cry everyday. The problem is that I don't work only he does. He gets around $700-800. An apartment the cheapest we found is $700 it could work to move out but it be hard. He has to pay his car, insurance and now the baby. I am trying to find a job so it can be easier for us... My point a lady advice me to get this:Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program helps pregnant women and families with one or more dependent children with temporary cash and other benefits. TANF can help pay for food, shelter, utilities, and expenses other than medical. My question is would this be ok, would it effect me in the future. I just need advice...

i would get as much information...seek help.. see here where im at...if you are in an abusive relationship or housing etc they will pay first and last months rent as well as help to buy things and if you are pregnant they will also help with some things..which all in all its good.. but because your bf works they will take his wages into consideration...

I am back with some update. So I made an appointment for the WIC tomorrow. I am also in the process of applying for cash assistance and food stamps. Now the most important thing that was section 8. I couldn't find an application of anything online. How do I get this or can be informed about?
