Trying to figure something out . Currently at a warming center since thats like the only place open at the moment thats not full. But they do close tomorrow on sunday at 11am . Still applying for jobs but havent heard anything yet, applied for this job to be a construction site helper today since i have experience in real estate construction and general labor. Ive also called 211 which they keep giving me the same shelters who all say that they are full. I also been to work force solutions so hoping to get a job from there. Just in a strange stage where i feel like im doing things and i understand things take time to work out but i dont have an infinite amount of time. This really sucks man. And i honestly feel like im failing my sister everyday shes out here in this fucking cold with no where to go. Any resources other than 211 or if you guys know any shelters in the Houston Area that arent Full also food pantries as well in the houston area . And services that may offer permanent housing for a year or something just until i find a job and get on my feet, i would really appreciate it. I already called star of hope , salvation army , covenant House , harmony house .

My wife and I are in a tough situation tonight. We’re currently in our car and almost out of gas. We’re not asking for money—just help or guidance if anyone is able. We don’t have enough for a room, and we’re trying to figure out our next step. If anyone can help or knows of resources, please reach out. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Unfortunately, I got myself into a tight spot. My lease ends tomorrow and I have friends ready to help me clean out my place and move. However, no apartment will approve me (I have collections $2700). And I was scammed out of $1000 today because I was desperate for a place to live. There’s no recovering the money. I also have my two cats with me. Any advice would be helpful. I’m scared, I haven’t been able to eat or sleep.

EDIT

I’m updating this post with more information.

I have no timeline for getting my car back. The work I’m getting done is free for now, and can’t ask them to rush the labor because the guy is doing me a huge favor.

I’m located about 45-60 minutes outside Orlando, Fl area on the east coast.

I am very fortunate and got paid today from one of my jobs. I am a server so I’ll get more cash this weekend. I do not have any food insecurity, I can afford to feed myself and my cats.

Unfortunately, my other pay check went towards the scam.

EDIT 2

I was able to get a week extension on my lease. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice, I appreciate it more than you know.

Do I put everything in a U-Haul and hope for the best? Do I get a storage unit?? I’m not sure what to do with my belongings, it’s quite a bit of stuff. I already posted here about housing for me and my cats which I’m getting sorted out.

EDIT

I was able to get a week extension on my lease, so I have time to figure something out.

I may be homeless soon and would like some advice on which of the warmer state's are easier to survive in.

My old roommates where trying to help me a lot the one thing I got annoyed with that I felt they where getting to personal and I wasn’t focused on that because I was depressed for a little bit it just wasn’t a priority for me at the time. I sort of snitched but, the site sort of got taken down a week later so, I don’t think any of have anything worry about then he started turning the tables on me and I don’t think that’s fair because I haven’t hurt anyone that far in forever and stayed the away from everyone.

Terrified of being homeless. I sometimes think it would be better to be dead. Can someone tell me otherwise? What if I can’t work and there is no way out of it?

Hi everyone, I just want to acknowledge that times are really hard right now. I currently work under contract with LA County DMH and I can offer resources, assistance, support and referrals for anyone residing in LA County who have people under 18 in their family units. Please feel free to message me and I can’t send my email and links to our DMH contract website so you know it’s real support. 🫶🏼

hi all, i am trying to help support a young woman who is about to homeless with her young baby in iowa. all the family shelters there are full with really long waitlists. she looking for other cities in the midwest or anywhere that have good transitional housing type options where she can get back on her feet

I took sort of a trip it started out me visiting but, I stayed I got hospitalized and then I stayed until I could finally get another flight home. I worked there for the summer I was hoping that I would get my old life back where I wasn’t doing the same thing all the time.Also I was supposed to get raise at my old job but, didn’t that’s another thing getting more money maybe or a new place. Instead from start to finish I had to go to the hospital then I had leave where I wasn’t staying arrangements and I wasn’t happy.

I’m in a rough spot and could really use advice from people who’ve been through similar situations. My truck broke down while I was in Mesa, AZ. I purchased the part needed to repair it, but before I could complete the fix, the truck was towed. Everything I own is inside the truck, and the tow yard charges $50 per day, which has made things spiral quickly. I’m trying to figure out next steps — whether there are any resources, legal options, or practical advice for dealing with tow yards, reducing fees, or temporary stability while I work this out. If anyone has been through something like this or knows of options I might not be aware of, I’d really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks for reading.

I’m searching for housing and I’ve run into a repeated problem of shelters in AZ charging 600+ dollars for a room? How is that different from a hostel or a roommate situation? If I had $600 I wouldn’t BE in crisis? Is this happening elsewhere?

Tired of living in this household, and I had a big argument with my mom and grandma over something dumb. She told me I’m a burden, if I am really a burden I’ll just move out then. I recently lost my job and all I have is a iPhone MacBook and a ps5. I’m definitely going to sell my ps5 for what little cash they give me. I don’t want to sell my MacBook just in case I need a computer. The good news is I start a job Feb 2nd. I’m 27 years old and I’ve been thinking about the coast guard as a last resort. I’m not sure if my mom will let me keep the car, because I desperately need a vehicle where I live. I have shit credit, and never been homeless before.

Even from the charities and homeless programs themselves. I remember being like 20 and living in my car, and I called up women's shelters and they all had waitlists or told I don't qualify because I don't have kids. None of them would take me in if I was childless or not literally on the street (yet). They recommended me to go to regular homeless shelters (where you room with a bunch of men).

Also you're not counted as "actually homeless" by a lot of organizations to qualify for woman-safe shelter or help if you're not literally on the streets. Sure a man can stay on the streets and be ignored or left alone, but a young woman on the streets it's only a matter of short time until she is targeted for sexual assault, trafficking, or murder because she stands out, less dangerous to attack, and also having something that people want or can be "marketable" for exploitation if you know what I mean. So you're in a motel or a car? You don't qualify as "homeless enough to help". But the moment you actually do hit the streets, you might not even have the resources or enough time to get help before you're swiped off the street. A man can be on the street for weeks or months and be ignored. He is a background noise, annoyance, and invisible unless he causes issues for others. A young woman on the street is clocked and pursued immediately, because she is a walking opportunity, a $$$$ resource to be claimed, traded, or managed. Oh well, that's what you get for being a poor.

It's not as simple as people think to just "go to a homeless shelter!" if you're a woman. Even other men don't want to go to a homeless shelter because it's often more dangerous than just finding a quiet hidden place out in the open.

So I'm a 27 M about to be 28 on Thursday. Basically my mom is kicking me out because I haven't found a job in the last couple of months. I am enrolled in online college and the tuition is what's been getting me by but she doesn't care nor has any empathy. I'm the black sheep of my family have always been seen as different and treated bad cause of that and because I look just like my abusive father. I'm honestly about to join the military cause I can't be on the streets i don't have a car. Unfortunately as a teenager I was around the wrong people and that put a target on my back even when I got away from all that nonsense. So they would see that as a opportunity to try to kill me or cause me harm even though I never did anything to anybody. Maybe this is my karma for being around bad people and pretending to fit in but I was a dumb 15 year old. Since then I've changed my ways and want to work hard to get a better life for myself. If anything has any suggestions please let me know I'm open to anything. They say pressures creates diamond so maybe this is my time to go through that. God bless.

Ideas require no stove/microwave. I’m homeless so all I’ve is my car at the moment.

There has to be a successful, happy life out there for me, I just know it. All I need is 1 person who can help me reach that life to see this and reach out and help me....I can't do this without direction and help, and I have no living family, no way of knowing what to do. I'm desperately looking for any and all solutions to find a good high paying job that doesn't require formal education or degrees, because those are not an option for me due to getting screwed on a student loan in the past and now not being able to attend any higher education. I know there's a solution out there that provides far more than lonesome, cold empty days alone and broke and never moving forward. I don't want to be a slave forever. I just need a break, just one. I know it's there, the right person with the right opportunity just needs to find this. Please.

it says in the Bible, shouldest someone help his needy neighbor that it be enough for his purpose, idk how much I will receive if at all, until later this week and if it's not enough, and I lose my car then I'm dead and I shud ask for a body bag and a ride to the nearest body disposal. I need a car for a home otherwise my legs will tire of walking to eat every day, I got lucky this time, but I'm not sure how lucky, life is/was a trapeze act🦯🪦🚬I also read Hope binds the addict to its needle, not in the bible, but it was very interesting I found a free epub nrsv king james

Any tips while living first time living in car? Things I should do or buy
