Sorry to hear about your situation.

Since you're in Utah, I'm going to suggest you find a bishop to ask for help. Even if you don't belong to the LDS church, I _think_ they might be able to help you out. Go to https://maps.churchofjesuschrist.org/ and find a church service to go to on a Sunday morning, and before/after the meeting, try to figure out who is the bishop/counselors and tell them your situation. It may depend on who you get, in which case you can always try other wards/buildings/areas.

Good luck!

If he's going to go the religious route, there's also 'Vinnies" (the St Vincent de Paul Society). They exist exactly for the purpose of getting people back on their feet and are pretty well everywhere, including Utah:

It's a Catholic agency, but they're agnostic, in that being Catholic is not a prerequisite and they won't ask about religion or try to convert you. It's a case of walking in the door of their premises and asking for help, or picking up the phone and talking to them.

I met some engineers who worked for LDS at a conference, maybe they'll even have a job for you!
