My thoughts:

Don't turn your nose up at the temp gigs. It's money in the bank -- sure it's nice to have something permanent, but from the sounds of it you're not in a position to be picky. If temping pays the bills until something permanent comes along, then that's what you ought to do.

Familiarize yourself with online resources. There are a ton of jobs that you can apply for by email after hours.

Talk to your parents about your situation. It seems highly improbable that they'd evict you unless they really feel that you're not trying. Maybe you can do some extra chores around the house in exchange for leniency on the room and board. Or maybe you can agree to submit X resumes per week (with a an accounting of where you go and when). Whatever it takes. Work something out.
