Based on your interests I would suggest a junior role in IT helpdesk, going back to school sounds good for long term personal development but is not optimal for work and will require years of effort that you could have spent adding to your resume. Don't look for big tech companies, just look for any company with more than 15 employees, because basically someone needs to look after the computers, phones, printers, wifi etc. [ and if you are interested then eventually development work will come up in that context ]

From helpdesk you can then move into specializing in whatever you are interested in. Software development is a competitive field and is constantly in technological flux, but there is stable work behind the scenes if you don't chase the latest trends too much. If you want to do it I would suggest looking for a PHP job rather than an AI job. Freelancing is very piecemeal work and hand-to-mouth, which is the opposite of what you currently need.

Yes. Get a job. Ideally a job in your area of interest, but any job that will get you into a living situation where you have a real address and a place to call home. This is important for your psychological well being. Very few people thrive at being lone nomads let alone living out of a car. Show up, on time, sober, and clean. Work diligently and strive to be a top performer even if the job seems beneath you or one that you don't want forever. That job can then be parlayed into a reference or at least employment history for a better job.
