I was living in a toxic mold infested home and now I have lost my health, my home, my belongings, my job, and soon I'll have nothing. I contacted the Housing Dept and notified them of the problem. They then notified my landlord to fix the problem, but he just ignored it. In retaliation to me, i was kicked out and illegally evicted from the home after my landlord took everything I owned and locked it up, renting the house to someone new. I was in the process of getting the place tested, but can't now because he used illegal tactics to prevent me from pressing charges. I have been living in motels, extremely ill, unable to work, nothing of mine has been recovered and it's all infested with mold anyways, all my clothes are infested, my cars infested and I can't even begin to figure out how to resolve this. I'll soon be out of money for hotel rooms, and who knows what I'll do... I guess that will be an indication that my time on this earth has come to an abrupt end, and I'd rather die than suffer this any longer. If anyone cares or knows how to get help, please do contact me! I've tried everything, and nobody cares or believes me because they can't see it. Including my family. So without any support, I'll be left to die this miserable death alone.

Every state has resources that can assist with housing if you are homeless, and getting temporary financial asssistant and even medical to go see a doctor. You should start by visiting the Department of Public welfare and see what assistance is available to you. You didn't say what state you are in though.
Open communication would have been a much better strategy than the fear-motivated call to the Housing Department. There is mold everywhere and unless specific tests were performed and came back positive, claiming you had toxic mold in your residence is alarmist.
The landlord in your story was angered by you and he reacted thus poorly... but let's call it the way it is... you were antagonistic and without considering repercussions you made an accusation to the Housing Authority as if the landlord was a bad person. Indeed, he may be just that, and you should have thus planned accordingly BEFORE you took antagonistic action.
All that stated, I'm sending good vibrations your way in hopes that you find another place, good health, a reliable source of income, and peace.
