If you are over 59 1/2 you can withdraw money from your 401k for any reason. If you are under 59 1/2 you can take a loan on the 401k in most cases. Ask your 401k administrator about this.

In terms of your house, hardship withdraws are only available to purchase a primary residence or to prevent eviction or foreclosure on your primary residence.
