It sounds like your dad is perpetuating a cycle of abuse. You are pursuing an education, which will make you harder to control, so he is trying to make it impossible for you to succeed. He wants to manipulate and control you but he won't be able to if you are educated and self-sufficient.
You really need to speak with your academic advisor. Community colleges in general are more supportive of students than big universities and they may have resources available to students in need that you are not aware of.
The community college I attended participated in a home sharing program. They would match up low income students with a person, usually a senior or a person with a disability, who owned their own home but needed help with upkeep. The student would get room and board in exchange for help with household chores or caregiving. A classmate of mine moved in with a very nice senior when she was evicted mid-semester, she paid $100/month and helped with easy housework like dusting and vaccuuming. Worked out very well for her.
I don't know how widely available this program is, but you won't know if it is an option unless you ask. If they don't have this exact type of program, they might have something else that will help you, but they will never know you need it unless you talk to someone. Don't let your dad keep you from reaching your goals. Find a way, you can do it!
