you are on SSI/Disability, don't drive, etc. so you need to get access to a county that has ParaTransit (minivan transit for elderly and handicapped). and by being close to Amtrak you'll have general access to Sacramento, San Jose, Oakland, and SF by BART/taxi/Transbay bus.
i'd consider Martinez (or possibly Richmond in a pinch) for a start. might be more expensive than some of the real discounted places in the delta. but i wouldn't recommend those places personally. you need mobility to live in those areas -- and often a boat along with a car. i'm just not thinking this is wise. it seems better to me to live closer to the 'hood and work the transportation services of Contra Costa.
also think about Concord, Pittsburgh, etc. along the outskirts of the BART corridor. there's also San Leandro, Bayfair (Hayward-ish), and Fruitvale stations where they have cheaper rents. also Castro Valley has a large mobile home concentration, cheap apts, considerably more peaceful, and close to BART, AC transit, etc.
again, i agree with others recommending to send this to the CA forum.
