Discrimination and Accommodation: Eviction of a Mentally Disabled Person from a Public Univeristy

I have recently been given an eviction notice for July 8th by 4:00PM due to my disabilities: ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, OCD, Severe Anxiety, Severe Depression, minor tourettes, Severe Stress, etc.
On two separate occasions my disabilities have been the cause for a warning and a probation; The first was because I spilled bleach in the apartment while I was cleaning, because there is no to little air ventilation I went out into the hallway to cough, another resident came out and asked if I was alright I said yes repeatedly calmly. She voiced a concern an RA went up and said I could not stay and that I had not choice and a supervisor came down and said there was something wrong with me and I had problem which the RA heard and showed his disapproval for her unprofessional behavior. All I was doing was minding my own business and cleaning, and I got criticized and insulted for my Severe OCD and I was still prosecuted even when I repeated everything to the Director even my disabilities which I was given accommodations for and just disregarded it. I was then sanctioned to see the Psychologist with no choice and threatened with eviction for any other relations with it or not complying with their demand. The second incident was when two young women were waiting for me to leave the laundry room, they saw me for over a good five minutes pouring my detergent in the cup and into the machine, then I went to go get my clothing and when I come back it was being used which essentially means she knowing used my detergent when she used the machine which I mix with bleach, which "ruined" some of her clothing. Now I had a hunch that it would happen so when I got back down to the room, it hit me in about 5-10 minutes that it would mess with her clothing, I started to lose it, having impulses continuously I rewashed her clothes maybe 2 or 3 times afterward, then she put them in the dryer without even noticing any marks, then i kept having them so bad because if she came back down then I wouldn't have a chance to fix them again I guess so, I put them in the trash can. I went back up to my room realized that if I left things how they were it would be somewhat hypocritical for me with my OCD, so I went back down and rewashed them again... Afterward I was penalized for not going to any appointments for a month because I had finals studying even more than usual and because I can never get a consistent date. Every time I go there he has +15 years of my records which he says that he denies or is not going to agree because of his doubt which has no basis from all the times I ask. I had no medication issued to me for my illnesses even when they were well documented and the lack of communication between the Staff. I am no threat to anyone or a nuisance and the last two "sanctions" were for only missing appointments which I am not sure if they even have that much authority to butt into my life and mental disabilities regarding me just renting out a room even if I got to have my own bathroom which is the only accommodation I was given... I have a vocational counselor and academic coach that are trying to help me though I do not know if I can get an appeal. If I am evicted I will be homeless again. Please help if you can.
