Two of my friends qualified for bankruptcy and they both owned a home. Obviously, I am the odd person out in suggesting it. I still do not think it's such a bad idea given your situation.
However, if you don't want to do bankruptcy...
I like Trinity's idea a lot. Years ago after my divorce, I took out a personal consolidation loan to pay off high interest credit cards (about $10,000). I forgot all about that! I had a low interest rate at the time and it was a managable monthly payment. If you can qualify, that would be a good solution. Buy a car for say $7,000 and put the rest into the consolidated loan.
