I withdrew 401k early due to becoming homeless. Any relief in tax withheld

I'm unemployed and don't have income or a place to live that is safe. I am a recovered alcoholic trying to get on track. Need money to do that

Unfortunately, this is not an exception to the early withdrawal penalty of 10% if you are aged 59 1/2 or less. Your withdrawal is taxable and is subject to the early withdrawal penalty.
