Black male 31

I hold osha 10 and Comptia A+ certifications, as well as Fire guard safety certified via FDNY (as long as that doesn’t have to be renewed haha). I am willing to do almost anything. 15 years in the food and customer service industry 5 of those 15 in the logistics industry via shipping company where I performed courier and dispatch duties. Recently forced to move out after long term 13 year relationship ended. I have a car and I don’t drink alcohol or do drugs. Need something that’s either giving housing or paying enough to withstand these “you must earn 40x the rent” applications. Any advice helps thanks.

M 31 nyc

I have to leave apartment after failed 13 year relationship. I am self employed pet sitter currently. I hold osha 10 and Comptia A+ certifications. I have 15 years work experience in food and customer service industries but no college degree so jobs = no progress forward unless you stay at fast food job and become management. Not what I see for self and personal future. I have high anxiety and stress induces very quickly so the traditional shelter route here is not an option for me quite frankly, it’s too dangerous and ghetto. Unfortunately I don’t earn 40x typical rent even though I can make rent guaranteed every month @ anything between 600-900 easily I can’t get my own from that because of the requirements now. Anybody have any non profits or orgs that work with recently homeless working individuals? I have a car but unless someone knows a place where I can safely park up nightly to comfortably sleep from now until winter comes I don’t think living out of that is feasible also I have a child who I’d want to continuously see every day as to not change their life because it didn’t work out with their parent after 13 years. Please just advice I can’t really deal with much else right now.
