r/homeless

Yep

At least it's been working out for me. The past month I've been going to a few dumpers and getting as many good condition plastic, wood and designer clothes hangers. And it's been ok actually

I collect,clean, sort, bundle and ship. I have bundles if plastics of 10 for $3-$4 ( usually people pay more). I have some in packs of 5 for $5 for wooden and selling really good high quality for $1 a piece or name your price. It's helping for sure, not making any boat payments by any means. Here's some pics. *** THIS IS BY NO MEANS A SELF PROMOTION, OR ANY TYPE OF SOLICITING***

Just thought I'd share.

Have a great day.

In Ireland. I need to know how to get an address that can go as residential address so that if the state asks for proof of address, I can supply them with one.

I'm losing my mind over this!

While this isn’t my situation (currently unemployed) I have heard from multiple people that coworkers, or even managers, can become very rude and mean once they find out someone is homeless. If someone is actually doing the right thing by getting a job, why would anyone look down on someone who is trying to do the right thing? Yes, I understand that some people suck, and are just insufferable jerks. But besides that, why? Me personally I don’t fault anyone who is doing everything they can to make it.

To start off straight. The house I currently live in is under my stepdad’s name. Not to mention I pay 1,150 a month to share a room with his messy 24f daughter. In recent events his son 17m stole well over 30k over the span of 3-4 months. He had a court trial that stirred some things up between him and my mother. The conversation escalated quickly leading him to say the famous line “get out my house. pack your things”
She left today to a shelter.

I’m still staying here until further notice. He does owe me over 7k which has been put under the rug since February. I just recently bought a car today after hearing about all this chaos for 2,600 to which I have no more money for insurance or to even register it.

I am in south florida so everything is SOO expensive and the job that I was working at recently closed for a health code violation, so i have no flowing income as of yet being that i spent my last on my car.

I’m not too sure what my next should be. I’m on the job hunt but everything is so hard to get into.

Gosh why do i have to drop more money on my can top opener just for a good meal. I love yall and together we can do something great 🫡

It’s going to be 10 years this Sept since I had a traumatic brain injury, where I lost my hearing for 2 years, at 21.5 years old. I can’t remember much about who I was, before. I was an INFJ and then became an INTJ, after 2 years of recovery. I lost so much of my life…

I got my hearing back, I was doing well, then boom: had awful house mates use their gang ties to try to harm me, ruined our housing, stole, and I became homeless. It’s been easy, because I had it worked out IN CASE.

I’ve just noticed a growing sense of distrust, but I’m not sure if it’s just aging into your early 30’s, compared to being idealistic and 20 something, or if it’s solely related to being homeless for about 3 years.

so far ive had 10+ interactions in less than a week, and i’ve only gotten dms to trade myself for money, or to click scam links or cash a bunch of random fake cheques.

posting the last scam because im genuinely fed up.

im 23, im homeless squatting in the back of a building, may have just survived a suicide attempt a week ago, - but i dont hate myself enough that im going to live with you creepy ass reddit men or get scammed.

I'm homeless and I'm in a shelter, I hate the shelter... should I date a guy even I don't like him just to stay at his place most of the time and just go to the shelter to sign for the bed and sleep there.

Everything is soaked and wet. It's gonna be another cold night. This is the fourth straight day of rain and my gear is finally giving out. I just lost everything. F**k this life

so Im a drifter (I am traveling west to reach California from Missouri) and I’ve been sick for 2 weeks now idk if it’s the flu or something,

my body hurts when I move so idk if I should move on or res.

anyone else sick or facing similar problems?

If you’re homeless? You get told to get a job to get out of being homeless. You get told if you don’t have a job you also will be homeless.

However, if you have a job when you are homeless and someone at your work finds out? You run the risk of being fired, and then you are back to the same spot all over again.

So, it’s a loop.

Further: hidden homelessness, or visible homelessness even - you get treated like you aren’t even a person by those who view the given circumstance of becoming homeless, as if it defines who you are as a person. This is the “american dream”.

I’ve been homeless with my mom since I was 13. I’m 17 now. I’ve tried my hardest, but I am so tired of moving and dealing with what she causes from being drunk. We got somewhere to live finally and she just couldn’t get a job. It lasted three months, now we’ll be homeless again. I was really happy for once, I did amazing in school, I wanted to live forever.

I know I’m old now, I’m trying, I got my birth certificate ordered myself, I was going to get my id then a job but I really give up

Hey friends. It has been a very long time since I have been homeless. Unfortunately, I am about to be kicked out of my living situation with no legal recourse. I am worried about how my disabled wife, myself, and my cat are all going to survive in our hot car over the summer. I have a remote job that pays crap but money is money and I don't want to lose it. In the meantime, I am applying for better jobs and hearing back on some. I had a few interviews over the past week and another one coming up on Sunday (wish me luck, please).

I'm looking for advice on free internet or possible options to be able to use internet on my laptop while traveling, preferably with a good enough connection to meet with clients that need my help.

Any ideas on how I can keep my job going so I don'tmiss out on those hours?

So I’m a 26 yo man staying in the Cincinnati, oh area and I’ve been homeless the last few years staying with friends when I can but it’s been a struggle. I’m at a point now where I don’t really have anywhere to go so I’ve been looking at shelters but all I ever hear is that theft is rampant and not to take any of my belongings with me, my only concern is I have nowhere to leave the little bit I do own and not taking my things with me would also mean losing everything so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the shelters and if so how bad is the theft and is there anything else I should worry about.

Let me preface this by saying I hate these stupid kind of posts.

Never trust strangers who approach you.

It's easy to become friends with someone who's friendly.

But the truth is that once you're guard is down, these strangers tend toward exploitation.

Friendship is built elsewhere. Not in mutural rejection.

It might be a stupid question because we all know homeless people are welcome in almost all of California, but are there certain areas where you can't be homeless? Say I ended up homeless in California, would I get in trouble with the law if I slept in a very rich and nice area of Orange County for example? Or in a safe area?

Where is it legal to be homeless in California? Bad areas only? Has anyone found homeless people sleeping in their neighborhoods in super rich and safe areas?

Or is it overall a crime to be homeless in nice areas of California?

Im asking because say I get promoted to work in California, I would be making $60 an hour vs the $12 I am making now since I would be a manager and I am not turning it down. I have terrible credit am neither liked or loved. I am seen as trash by many people sadly.

boyfriend and i are being evicted in two days and are moving our life into an extended stay hotel for the time being. does anyone have any advice for the situation at all? its very nerve wracking and scary— had to surrender all but one of my cats.

I came here from Mississippi about a month ago to start a new job I got. They made various promises about how they normally let people 50-60 hours a week and they also promised to give me a rental house while I was on this site. Long story short, the company just held a company wide meeting saying how the main contractor that sub contracted us on the job is in some legal trouble and is shutting all their sites down and laying everyone off. Which absolutely sucks for me considering I just spent every penny I had on my mom’s dialysis treatment and both of our regular monthly bills. I lost the rental house because the company laid everyone off, and I’m to scared to go back home because my mom will be so scared and stressed about money and the treatment. I don’t have any clue of the area or where I can park and sleep for a couple nights or a week or at least until I figure out something to do about work. Any suggestions are appreciated
Thanks in advance.

Anybody would talk to me please. It's been 5 weeks of this is anyone want talk?
