Avoid drugs. Seriously.

You'll never be homeless is everywhere is your home.

>>521320908 (OP)
Go to California

>>521320908 (OP)
Don't borrow anything, and never loan money, and don't let people see your shit

>>521320908 (OP)
Yes become a street performer and go to bars. Hit on a lot of chicks and if you're good at sex they'll let you live with them for free. You can't be a slob though clean up after yourself and don't ask for money.

Carlife

never been homeless but knew a guy online
get a membership at a gym that has showers; but if you can't, clean at least the parts of your body where skin touches skin
be on the lookout for any kind of handouts, soup kitchens, cellphones, sleeping supplies
if you will be living out of a car, be economical about when you run the engine for heat
those are the tidbits I remember from his stories

Yes. And as a tranny too. First best thing you can do is get a gym membership, it's cheap ish if no rent for house and it means you can use the showers. Second is to figure out all the libraries in your area. They are climate controlled and don't care if you sleep there as long as you don't disrupt anything. They can also help you find resources. If your homeless, then you most definitely qualify for EBT. See if where you live has a mental health urgent care and see if they can get you a caseworker. Worse case scenario is to check yourself in to the psych ward for a grippy sock vacation. It will suck, but it's three hits and a cot. They can help you find resources too. Stay strong. You will make it through this a stronger person. You can also use LGBT resources, we don't mind as long as your respectful because the main goal of the orgs that provide that help is building community. If I think of anything else, I'll post again. Also, donuts at quiktrip are super cheap after 3 pm

i hope you're in a better place today

>>521321132
Or Vancouver

Other than that, always look the best you can and speak to normal people politely. Otherwise you will always be part of the underclass and keep yourself there permanently. Remember, nobody cares that you're having a hard time, but they are willing to help you towards a goal they see you working towards.

God keep you.

This. Avoid cities.
Make a sign saying you want food and not money.
Don't bother people outside of banks and grocery stores. Sit quietly with the sign in the parking lot or nearby. Seriously. Don't bother people. It makes the store push you away and it doesn't make people give you stuff any faster.
You are hoping for charity. Be actually humble. You are a beggar, not a chooser if you are on the streets.

Get one of those frenchise subscriptons to have a option to shower and take a shit etc.
Costs like $30 month.
Maybe go to a warmer State before winter hits hard. If you don't have a car hop on a cargo train.
Around niggers, never relax.
Good luck, anon.

>>521323071
yeah

>>521323109
*gym frenchise

Goto California like that anon said, they instant approve disability and EBT for you and cash advances, weed is abundant so you can avoid hard drugs, food literally grows on trees and tons of pantries give good stuff away, San Jose was where I was homeless it wasn't bad at all.

>>521320908 (OP)
What’s the story? Why are you homeless? We all know that there will be anons willing to help you out. So tell us what’s going on. There is no we here but at the same time there’s an us.

>>521320908 (OP)
i feel for you, man. just enlist at your local military outpost. it'll at least keep a roof over your head and the US isn't fighting any new wars right now. become a chef or something on the inside, idk.

>>521320908 (OP)

Go to a warm state like California or Texas. San Fransisco, LA, Austin, Dallas, etc are good to be homeless in because of the weather. And you are more likely to get back on your feet because more jobs and more housing.

>>521320908 (OP)
Get airport van to live in. Work at Costco. Shower at gym. Profit.

>>521320908 (OP)
Get connected with behavioral services and get assigned a case manager. They will help you get any free gibs you qualify for(shelter, cash assistance, etc). The amount of resources they can connect you with will shock you.
>.t social worker

>>521321656
It's such an odd feeling when you find posts like this on /pol/. You seem like a good person. Keep being a good person, anon.

>>521321181
So much this. Just like jail.

Check Craigslist for quick gig work and stuff to stack up some money I noticed they didn't say how to get money when you're not stable. Landscaping and one day gigs work to help you save and transition. Maybe shoot for a car first then the house. You can live out your car and wait it out saving up your cash. I wish you the best of luck brother.

What state are you in? I have an extra bedroom and I stockpile food.

>>521320908 (OP)
Yes I am right now. I work 50 to 60 hours a week in construction and its still too expensive to afford rent and everything else unless I never want to save up.

>>521321033
This, and the booze too. That’s the shit that had me on the ropes.

>>521320908 (OP)
dont eat food random people give you. too many crazies out there who hate the homeless and try and poison them. only accept food from actual shelters/food banks

>>521320908 (OP)
go to a food bank, go to a church, sign up for social programs, get the process started to get housing. there is no reason to remain homeless. all you need is a few hundred dollars to rent a storage space for shelter, you don't have to live on the streets.

>>521320908 (OP)
sleep in flame resistant clothes
keep a fire extinguiser nearby
remember to stop, drop, and roll.

>>521320908 (OP)
Always have a spare shirt and pants that are relatively clean, if you have a phone/laptop or jewellery, never show it to people, especially other homeless, some homeless people are just regular normal people going through hard times but some are veteran hobos who will cheat, lie and fuck you over for a gram of coke. Don't give up. Hold onto something, a dream, a goal, nothing too big, small steps, stay away from drugs/alcohol and people that are too friendly, don't bother people and don't allow resentment or guilt to change who you are. Don't let the world break you. I believe in you anon. Stay strong.

>>521321278
Bad advice, cars are expensive as fuck. Even if you get the thing paid off you still have to pay for gas, insurance, maintenance (which will be higher if you're literally living out of it), and property taxes to get it registered every year, plus you have to find places to park and not get harassed or towed. You're a million times better off couch surfing if possible or trying to get a subsidized rental. A car is just a money pit if you're homeless and unemployed.

I spent a few weeks living on the street after everything in my life fell apart. You learn fast out there. Which alleys are safe. Which shelters are dangerous. Which people you should never make eye contact with.

One morning I found an old pair of sunglasses in a torn backpack behind an abandoned building. They looked worthless, but I kept them. I had nothing else.

The first time I put them on, I thought I was having a breakdown.

Billboards turned blank white with commands written in plain black letters. Obey. Consume. Stay in line. Every store sign, every advertisement, every screen suddenly had hidden orders burned into them.

I took the glasses off. Everything looked normal again.

I put them back on. The world snapped into something ugly and real.

Then I made the mistake of looking at people.

Most were just people. Tired, annoyed, passing by. But a few were something else. Pale stretched faces. Eyes like dead marbles. Skin that looked like it was sliding off the skull. They blended in perfectly without the glasses, but with them on, there was no hiding what they really were.

One of them noticed I could see it. Its head tilted too far to the side, like a puppet trying to understand its strings, and it whispered something into a device on its wrist.

I left the area fast.

After that, every night felt like something was stalking me from just far enough away that I could not prove it. I kept moving, kept sleeping in different spots, but the feeling never left.

I finally got off the street. Got my life back together. But those glasses are still in my drawer. I cannot bring myself to throw them out.

Because sometimes, when I look at the world now, I still wonder how many of those things are walking among us.

And how many of them remember that for a few weeks, I could see them.

live with 20 roomates in a house

>>521320908 (OP)

Buy a hiking backpack that you can carry a refillable water bottle in, have extra socks, toothpaste, toothbrush's, deodorant, dude wipes, have good shoes because if you are not car camping you will be walking a lot. Have a good quality jacket for winter time if you are in a colder climate. Look for jobs on your phone like indeed, use a gym to shower in, keep yourself clean shave your beard regularly. Look like a presentable person.

>>521320908 (OP)
Try your best to blend in.
Stay clean as possible.
Be seen and heard as little as possible.
Don't bother anyone.
Don't overstay at certain places/areas you will draw attention.
If you are in a city or bad part of a city keep your backpack with you at all times and keep any expensive electronics you have out of sight. If you have a laptop to charge, and you're in a shitty mcdonalds, run the charging cable and connect it to your laptop out of sight inside your backpack.
Keep your head on a swivel at all times for others and annoying cops.
Avoid other homeless people like 90% of the time or more, many are severe drug addicts and or mentally ill and perhaps dangerous. Stay sharp, trust no one, not even if you have been friends for months especially if their own drugs. "Yeah bro I'll watch your backpack for a minute.." uh no I'm taking it with me. Thanks anyway.
Don't steal unless you're absolutely desperate, you will just spiral deeper.
Avoid drugs at all cost, moderate alcohol may be ok depending on how you personally handle it. Weed occasionally is OK but not good for ambition.
And finally you MUST have at least a part tie job or side hustle. And be saving emergency fund of cash for the occasional hotel room on freezing nights or for monthly gym membership..etc..

I could go on, but that's all I can think of for now. Godspeed

LIHTC (Low-Income Housing Tax Credit) properties are rental housing projects that receive a tax credit to make them more affordable for low-income tenants.

also

Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is a form of permanent housing that combines long-term affordable housing assistance with voluntary supportive services for individuals and families with disabilities who have experienced chronic homelessness. You pay 30% of your monthly income in rent, that's it.. To qualify you usually need to be receiving services at a behavioral clinic.

Get locked up honestly. Go punch a cop and enjoy your 3 meals and free housing

1. Don't do drugs or booze. That's how you stay homeless.
2. Don't look or smell homeless. Find a place to wash your clothing, shower, and shave.
3. Find out about charitable or govt resources in the area to get back on your feet.
4. Avoid other homeless people. Many of them are druggos or just crazy.

Good luck, hombre.
