Help for a Trouble teen
I (20F) have a younger cousin (18F) who lives in Florida and is currently faceing homelessness.
I live in CT and am in college currently and dont have much of a way to help her. For back story my little cousin has always had a bit of trouble behaving as a kid due to copying her own mother's behavior and having a very unstable upbringing they also didn't have a stable housing situation growing up so they moved states alot as a kid my little cousin mother whould not be willing to deal with her self destructive outbursts when she became a pre teen to late teenager so she whould send my baby cousin off to mutiple different mental facilities where she spent most of her teens.
As of late she's been doing really well she lerned how to drive(no car yet), got her own place, got her own job and was doing pretty well by herself.
Though in the time span of one month her girlfriend randomly broke up with her, she lost her job and therefore can't pay rent and has gotten into a physical fight with her mom due to an argument where her mother spent a night drunk in the forest leaving my cousin to have to babysit her two half siblings without knowing were her mother was and spent two days in prison after the altercation with a 150$ bond (she's out now)
I was wondering if anyone on this subreddit would know of any youth programs or youth housing places near holiday Florida that she chould take advantage of. Any information whould be very helpful
Thank you
