Very difficult to move with only a few hundred dollars in the bank. Also it's generally not recommended to move to a place where you know very few people or no people, without first having a job lined up.

I feel for you. I have been in that position myself. I have not yet found a great solution. Over time and through several interviews I realized I was not being hired due to my age. I don't know if you are in a protected class, but perhaps you are. We need some kind of blind hiring practices to become the expected standard because illegal discrimination is rampant in tech jobs. It leaves those of us with ample skill unemployed for no good reason and with no access to a strategy that has any hope of working. I'm open to ideas...
This is partially why i've started working on a side project that aims to help developers connect with peers to advance their career. If you're interested, you (or ccdev) can sign up to see what i've built so far at: https://www.coderpact.com
