Hello, thank you for your question.
You write that you are getting divorced. Until the divorce has been completed, you and your partner are obligated to financially support one another. That means that your partner has to help you and your child with housing and other expenses.
You also write that you are a student and that you receive student loan from CSN. To be able to receive financial aid from the municipality you would have to look for a job and register at Arbetsförmedlingen.
We would recommend you too contact the social services in your municipality and ask them for advice on how to go forward, if you should apply for financial aid or if you should continue your studies. Some municipalities holds student appartments who are less expensive and you can also apply for an extra loan at CSN because you have a child to support. You may also be able to receive housing allowence (bostadsbidrag) from Försäkringskassan. In most municipalities they also offer some kind of advice when looking for housing (bostadsrådgivning). Maybe they can help you look for a new home.
If you happen to be in an emergency, where you don´t have a place to stay for the night or money to buy food, you can always contact the social services and apply for emergency aid (nöd).
We hope that things will be resolved soon and that you and your child find a new home together.
