Student housing while in community college?

Ok so right now I am staying at my parents house while my mom is home alone, my dad is currently out of state working so i help around the house. The was only to be temporary. Well he's been gone three years and in that time i have been working a lot, 630am to 630pm, teller. Moneys not great, barely enough to make my car payment as my age, my insurance is high,and i have a son to feed unfortunately...well not really can say i regret him i want to be there like a real father but i feel i fall short, there is no other way to describe the feeling, its not him but its me. All I ever wanted to do was study, to walk again but to graduate from a University. I am not old enough to fill out my college FASFA paper work alone and my parents offered no help and turned me down when i asked for their info so i can get grants and scholarships through FASFA. Now with a child i can apply for fasfa and any other student loan. So my son's mom is about to get kicked out of her house where my son stays for the nights and depending on my schedule i find ways to make sure he is taken care of while she goes to work in the day and i get him weekends and most evenings after work till late at night when she gets off work. We live in Peyton, a small town with no college other then one which offers up to college level classes, which i have already done. So i drive a good distance to the closest city for school and work. University's are expensive and i wanted to attend my CC as long as possible till I have to go to my University and transfer my credits over and graduate out of the University. So the mom(my sons mom) came out with an idea i like. We go to college full time pull student loans get an apartment together cut down to part time and hustle hard to get it done and get as many scholarships as possible...I'm Hispanic and no one in my family has ever graduated college, we are of a low income since the economy fell my dads business lost a bit, I'm bilingual, and i have good grades, so i meet qualifications for a few scholarships and grants. The mom...well shes a mom so we think we can get school covered, but up until now i have been loan free and pay my own with cash...with the exception of my car which is on a loan and that's a long story but it was a last resort at that time and even then i hated it and still do. So to the point would cutting down part time to attend school full time using students loans to pay our way through along with any extra cash from scholarships to go towards the loans? Is this possible while going to a community college? If so would it be though private companies like Sallie Mae? Or can something like stafford be used? I have asked these questions at my community college and can not seem to get any answers before being rushed out. the financial aid office looks more like Walmart lines for cashiers
