A: There is nothing anyone can do about the landlord's decision not to renew your lease at the end of September. The good news is that September 30 (BTW, there is no 31st) is at least 52 days away, which sounds like more than enough time for you to locate some local city or county agencies designed to solve family housing problems like this.
