I was recently donated a twenty. I'm super hungry so I wanted my $$$ to go far. You should definitely try grocery outlet, it's very low cost. I bought water, 3 large bean cans, loaf of bread, coffee drink, 2L root beer, brownies, potato chips [large bag], apples, & cinnabuns all for less that $17 . This normally Costs way more in my region, I wanted to share to help others save $$$ 🍏 🥪

So far I've sold 18!☺️ I'm hoping this will help me get a home or something like it soon!

I haven't eaten since morning, sleeping first night in the park. Thinking about robbing a convenient store so i can go to jail. Any advice is welcome. Please comment, I feel a little bit lonely.

Sorry if this is not the right sub first. I'm in the uk and not homeless. I want advice on the best charities to volunteer at that actually help people? Any advice appreciated.

just turned 17, might be forced to run away and be homeless, basically cuz parents are abusive. i dont wanna make a sob story out of it, just wanna get it over with

I just wanted to share tonight that I finally got a home. After years and years of being homeless, sleeping in cars, friends couches, rehabs, and hotels. It's finally over and I cannot be more grateful for everything. I got all my stuff put in the place and sat down and cried because I'm just so overwhelmed with happiness. I really hope everyone can experience this type of piece. I hope this year is everyone's year to have a home.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. The ones in my area are packed and an opening I found required a thirty day hold. Any other type of temporary housing works as well.

It's finally happening. They're pulling this diseased organ out tomorrow. The thing that caused me incredible pain and helped me completely destroy my life with alcohol for over a year, the thing that helped me become homeless, is finally going to be defeated. I have literally not been this happy in over a year. This is everything to me. I can finally start rebuilding my life. Thank you Reddit friends who told me to apply pressure at the ER. It worked. It absolutely friggin worked. My quality of life is actually going to return to normal.

I get to be happy again. Oh my fuck.

Edit: Surgery Successful. No complications or other issues found! I'm in the painful initial recovery stage then I'm free 30

We live in Melbourne Victoria, and it's currently summer and we have spent it in a tent (illegal here, so super grateful we are left alone) hidden away out of the sight of the local council. All we have for entertainment is my phone, and thankfully a 300+watt power station which has saved our butts more times than I care to admit. It's 36c today, in this tent with its minimal breathing ability, reminds me just how far we have fell and why the climb back up is taking so long. We are humbled and would be honoured to receive any kind of assistance, support, referrals, advice, or even just a kind hello to let us know that we were a thought. It would mean the entire world to us both. We have had minimal, if any support from the official homeless channels that we have been referred to or linked to.

I miss my April having a bed to sleep in, and a shower either before or after bed.

Yours kindly: Matt, April and kelpie Abbie.

So when I first came to the shelter I had a case manager who was very nice, thoughtful , asked questions, wanted to know how you are doing your goals on how to get out the shelter but then she left . Now I have a case manager very young but she has such a bad attitude when I go to my meeting every 2 weeks it takes like less then 5 minutes she seems to only be concerned about getting the form signed and if the next date is good for the next meeting. I told the supervisor about her attitude and that she seems to always be in a hurry and that I would like a new case manager and of course the supervisor said I can't. So I had a meeting with this same woman on the 28th when I went the supervisor saw me and said that they are not having any meetings with clients because the staff are having meetings. So I received a letter placed on my bed to go in for tge meeting the next day which I couldn't because I started work at 8 am. I emailed the case manager on the 29th and did not hear from her I even said today I'm gonna talk with the supervisor and saw the case manager come out tge office and didn't say a word to me . So I decided to email her again and she emailed bad telling me that I need to address her by her last name which I've never had and she never seemed to have a problem and told me when the next appointment would be . But I'm thinking if I didn't reach out again would she have told me . I told her I would like to change my case manager and she said that's your choice and you need to speak with the supervisor and said ok by God bless being very sarcastic bit she's not genuine at all and I've done nothing to her.

I’m 21 in San Diego and just got kicked out of my college dorm. I’ve been homeless before but I had a car at least to sleep in and 2 jobs. I haven’t found anything here and I don’t know what to do.

Anyone have any advice/recommended areas?

I'm getting together a bunch of care packets of sorts with food, drinks, sanitary items and those instant air activated heat packs. I'm just curious about what canned food items would be best, I don't want to just throw in cheap random crap like canned tuna or plain spam, I'd prefer to do legit ready to eat items like canned chili, SpaghettiOs's, chef Boyardee, etc. So the overall question is what food would you be most excited to get or find the most fulfilling?

18(FTM) So I posted earlier today/last night I'll be homless anyway now. I've had no luck getting a job and I've been non stop sewrching- like as soon as I post this im gonna go out and search some more. I don't know why I'm not getting hired. Im even more worried with the new administration team trying to revoke the equal employment opportunities act. Like I know a lot of places still discriminate but write it off as something else. I like I don't mention im disabled or im trans. And im trying my hardest to find a job but I'm having no luck. I got advice to do panhandling but based on how I look I don't think it will go well- and I'm afraid it's not a steady flow. And like before all this i would always give what I could. But my family wouldn't and I would see people being assholes to them and I honestly don't think I can handle any of it. I've thought about selling photos of myself on the internet but I know that's a way to get scammed, I have art experience but it costs to even get a shop up online and just I don't know what to do. At all.

so i have massvie anxiety about getting kicked out, i also have a lot of mental health issues (bpd 2, trauma trust issues etc) and ontop of that autism and a disability. My biggest fear if im homeless is having people help me or that Will/Could take advantage of me and me not knowing and that scares the fuck out of me. Who can i trust to help? What if i cant trust people in the shelters? How do i figure it out if they genuinely want to help or if theyre tricking me? Like im horrible with social cue shit and idk how to survive by myself nor do ik how to navigate well bc of my physical disability. Im terrified to depend on myself bc what if im wrong and i get myself hurt Or worse?

Mountain snow storm on day 1, Giving the apartment keys back this evening, cleaned out apartment yesterday, I have a fat tire bike, plans to sign up at the community center to use pool, gym, and showers when needed ❄️❄️❄️🌨🏔 have great day!

Hello,

I am done paying rent but will not get food stampz for another week. Can anybody help me with even 10-20$? Cashapp: $wickedfirst

I dont know what else to do. No food banks near. No car. No odd jobs near. Been two days with no food. Feeling really dizzy and like giving up. Have no energy.

If everyone help each other honestly we can all be living comfortably. Drop your cashapp below and help bless the next.

My ex s a douche and kicked me out the house, I have no family and a one year old. He's abusive and controlling and he got upset when I said I could no longer be with him. Anyways I've been outside for hours and trying to get into a shelter. Nothing to eat, I feel so alone.

I read through the rules but if I missed something and this isn’t allowed please let me know

I (F19) “lost” my mom to addiction when I was 10. I put it in quotes only because I’m not sure if she’s still around or not. She struggled her whole life but it got worse when my family moved to a specific place for the military. I’m adopted by my step dad, but my bio dad is an addict too but he’s been sober for two years and we’ve reconnected. I haven’t seen my mom since 2015/2016, the last my dad heard from her was signing off the adoption papers for me. Not for lack of trying to help her either, he did all he could. I feel like now though, I’m unable to have closure without knowing if she’s still out there. I don’t want that to sound selfish but it’s true. I know she was homeless the last I heard, and am looking for advice on how to find her. I live across the country from where she would be, I’ve tried social media and reaching out to certain programs. The last time she posted was 2022 I believe, but I keep discovering new accounts with her name every so often. Sometimes with different last names but with our shared one in parentheses. If anyone has any advice I’d greatly appreciate it. If she’s still out there I want to do something for her.

Hey so uhm im having the realization i will be homeless any day now. Story; i was kicked out early November for being transgender. And I've been couch surfing, and one of my friends took me in but they move in a months. I've been searching for a job non-stop I've applied to 70 places heard back from 6 but haven't been hired at all. And I can't find a job and it's really starting to scare me. And im terrified. I'm in Washington state a couple miles out from Seattle. And I've reached out to more friends and they can't do anything; and i fans go with family. I'm starting to get really worried. And just need advice on what to do when I no longer have shelter. I've looked in temporary and emergency housing and I can't even afford that. I looked into shelters but it's closed during the day and open at night. And im gonna be 100% open here. Im honestly scared to go to one. I know people mind their own business and jsut im short, im only 18, and im Afab (born female) and im just. I've had some really scary experiences- and im afraid that will happen again.i just don't know what to do and would appreciate guidance on what to do when I'm homless

I am currently helping with the annual count and can’t help but think of all the people we are missing. We are driving around in cars looking for the obvious. If I was homeless I would definitely be out of sight.

Also, people inside that are “homeless”. They are in jail (intentionally to overwinter), staying with friends and family, even in backyards, sheds/garages, and campers in driveways. I feel confident what ever numbers we come up with are not a true representation. Also, the fact that it’s done in January… people are that much less visible. Volunteers are not poking around secluded camps in the middle of the night… are they?

College student in MN (Twin Cities area) I see a lot of panhandlers, tents, etc when I’m out and about. I’m fortunate enough to have some extra cash. What’s the best way for me to help out people in the community? Care packages or something else?

Now, I've been on an off the street my entire adult life. Libraries are my favorite places on the planet. You get a free place to sit, free internet, the universal knowledge of humanity on both paper and digital, whats not to love?... Some libraries even have full recording studios (see Summit County Ohio)! Today, I found my first library that offers SHOWERS!! True story, the public library in Seaside, Oregon has SHOWERS!

Im 17. I was kicked out today after punching my grandfather in the face because he slammed me against a wall because i yelled at my grandmother(moms mom) who accused me of being manipulative when she's manipulative. There was a lot of buildup to my reaction to her bullshit, she just really knows how to press all the right buttons. The reason I don't live with my parents is because my mother was raised by her to be a narcissist and alcoholic, my grandma doesn't drink but she's mean enough without it. Anyway, I was kicked out with a duffle bag of clothes, my guitar, and this laptop, but she kept my phone and glasses(I have terrible vision) since "she paid for them". I can't acces half my accounts without my phone, including my messenger account which i need to text my other grandma (dads mom) who is the only family I have here. I don't know where to go or what to do. I'm typing this from a supermarket with free wifi but I can't stay here forever. I was waiting in front of a gas station asking people to use their phones to call my phone to tell my grandma I need glorias number, but she hasn't responded to any calls, and I was asked to leave. I don't know what to do

So, I've been homeless across my life, on n off, for roughly four years, but I'm starting to do alright for myself, and with that I want to help support as many people in similar positions as I can. That said, I like giving something to those who look like they need a little more, even if it's just a smile when I have nothing else to give. With that, there are edge cases that I don't know what to do when I encounter them.

For instance, when I see someone that looks a little bit out of avarice at a bus stop, but doesn't have any bags or anything with them, I tend to just roll by, because I've offered money/food to people who were just a little scruffy before and they got offended.

But, what do you think? I never hung out at bus stops, and generally don't use busses, so my experience doesn't tell me the likelihood someone might need something or would be receptive to a friendly offering.

What other edge cases can you think of that should be discussed? What of when you have four dollars and know you might see four separate homeless people? Do you give four dollars to the first person you see, or gamble with trying to make everyone happy? These are the things I think about.

Before I became homeless I collected a small gripper gym. I've kept these with me all the time. I have various weight capacities. I've found that a good session of Training with them quickly helps my depression and hopeless attitude. Things get difficult but sometimes I just have to make the best of it. This helps me, I just wanted to share. Take car

#IF you are homeless and sleeping rough, and IF you do not wish it;

The laws of adverse posession clearly state that it is legal and righteous for you to squat and take possession of uncared for and forgotten property for the purpose of owning it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_possession

For every homeless person out here there is a property owner neglecting their duties to their REAL PROPERTY and deserving of property loss. LEGAL PROPERTY LOSS

I recently learned I will be homeless soon. Im not bothered by it in the least. No matter, no worries, no problem, no drama!! You wont hear a complaint from me! This is not my first rodeo. I have three different houses already scouted out to pick from. ALL are vacant 2+ years. ALL belong to deceased owners who arent paying their taxes. ALL have no neighbors within 500 feet. ALL stand a good chance that I could own one of them for $0 and $0 per month.

Sleeping in a tent? Out in the open, in public, the woods for a toilet? Thats no life for me! I have been there already and Im not going back! I might live in a cardboard box again, but its going to be a water tight cardboard box with a kitchen, a full bathroom, a king size bed and a mailbox on a postal route.

Do you need ideas? Want to squat but dont know how? Watch me!!

On March 1 I will be homeless, for all of about five minutes. Thats how long it will take me to walk down the street to another (empty abandoned forgotten) house and start making it my home. It took some homework to find the right house (not every empty house qualifies as squat-able) but now that I did the work, i know right where I am going. Wont cost me a dime except for some past due taxes and some elbow grease to clean it up. E-Z P-Z

IF you are homeless and sleeping rough, stop doing that and start scouting for a squat spot. You deserve better. Feel free to come to me with any questions.
