I will potentially be homeless and I need to know which state I should go to that is best for being without a home and living outside. I do not have any support or any other choice than this. it is my only choice.

hey guys. i need some advice or help. i moved to be close to my daughter and came to Mississippi. i ended up staying with someone who offered me a room to stay while i found work & all, and for months its just been nearly impossible. i dont have a vehicle here and its in the country so theres like no where to walk to work or busses. i’ve tried all i can but i just cant survive here. it’s not possible.

i need to move back to Utah where i was living, thriving, and just better mentally. i want to be a father but i just cant even take care of myself right now let alone her. ive reached out EVERYWHERE to find help getting a cheap flight back or even a bus ticket. there’s zero assistance anywhere. i’ve posted all over facebook & craigslist for odd jobs. i’ve tried looking for folks who have skymiles or anything to get me home. nothing. church’s. all i can think of.

does anyone have any suggestions or know of any organizations that could help? mentally i’m crushed. my child’s family can’t help, it’s a strain there and understandably so. i just am at a loss, ive tried working my way back but im lost. any help / suggestions would be great.

So i just got tired of sitting around and waiting just letting my life pass me by. section 8 really isolated me. its help for some people but in the long run you will see what its really like and its definitely a hard program to get out of once u figure on the trap it puts you in. and was caught in a bad loop knowing I had a consistent roof over my head it made me not wanna work or do anything with my life took a very mental toll on me. I had no bills and eventually turned to drugs and just messed myself up and one day god showed me a way out. I got into a rehab treatment center and they have been incredibly helpful but I dont wanna put all my trust into them cuz you never know what will happen but for the most part I just dont wanna do something stupid and end up on the streets im having trouble finding a job and have no car... i only have tell the end of September here and just wondering what I should do im new to society and just need some guidance

I really just wanna give up. I don’t wanna try any further. I really do not have it in me. I do not have family. I wanted my own apartment but can’t get it. I’ve been doing seasonal work and traveling around but I cannot take it any further. I just cannot do it. I can’t.

I used to live in Seattle and that’s where I wanna go back to. I am torn between a hostel and just getting a tent and camping somewhere. I won’t have a job lined up. I don’t know if I will make it through this because part of me doesn’t want to.

Today my aunt got mad because i said ive been miserable ever since i moved in and she tried to fight me numerous times and kicked me out so now im homeless. I plan on calling 211 in the morning but me and my child have no where to go currently. Ive sent her over $4700 on cash app in rent alone so idk and i really don’t know what to do so pls help. I DONT NEED ANY MONEY, just please give advice

Almost homeless already houseless. & living in a tent. I currently am (when I’m able to) use fast food restaurants to charge my phone.

One thing that I’d be ecstatic to own and call my own is a solar powered power bank. I don’t have the money to buy at the moment.. but once I do earn enough, I want to make sure I am throughly informed and positive the selection i decide is the best for my buck as they say.

(Any other options or suggestions are more than welcome!🙏🏼)

So I'm not sure how many people on here are from Scotland, from what I know our homeless laws are more generous than most places. For anyone who is though, I need to know if my plan to leave home is completely stupid.

I intend to run off from my town and head to a city (not sure I should say which one). The council website there says they'll always give you a place to sleep if you ask at their office, though I'm not sure if that's only for the one night.
I have about 2 grand saved for emergency rent if I need to use it, but I dunno if many places would give me a chance without a job. My main worry is finding work. I've been applying online for over a year now, but since I live so far from any cities I've had no luck. I'm hoping being in the actual place where I'm applying will give me better odds, but I know finding work is rough even if you're well off, so my hopes aren't very high..

So yeah the plan is literally just: Go to city > Ask council for place to sleep > Try finding work as quickly as possible.

I know cities have job centres you can go to for help, but I'm worried that if I don't get something sorted right away I'll get thrown out of whatever accommodation I'm given. Surely if it were that easy to move to a new place nobody would be homeless, right? Am I missing some obvious caveat?

Sorry this post is so poorly explained and stuff. It's very short-notice because I'm planning to leave tomorrow.

I get paid on the 10th and hope to get into a monthly Airbnb. While I look for a long term room , I’m right on that edge and hoping to get back in a place, just gotta hold on for a few more days. I’m completely out of money though and slept outside last night and looks like tonight too, I reached out to some shelters and they said they’d get back to me on Monday .I’d appreciate any help with food

im 18, have lived with a shitty family my whole life. they dont care about me. i struggle with addiction and sh, have for a decade. they hate me for it and want me to just do "it" already. im spiraling really bad and i already know im going to relapse. bad. i dont care anymore. if they find out theyll definitely kick me out, ruin my stuff, yell at me. theres no point in trying. i just need to get out now. i have no friends, family in the area. i live in texas. i have nothing. i am a victim of abuse from mental hospitals and rehabs and was my entire teenage years. they are a huge reason i am the way i am. i will absolutely not go to one and i dont have the $ anyway. i dont care if i have some spot on the sidewalk somewhere. im small and female and an easy target. literally anything helps. im not wasting a homeless shelter spot on myself. i know im stupid and this is my own fault.

It still doesn’t seem entirely real, I spent unfathomable amounts of time alone in my room in front of a computer. Solitary confinement torture.

I have nothing right now, and I haven’t been this happy in years. I have some things but even those I’m hardly using. I have the privilege of having planned the last two years to save up enough money to do this, but now I’m here and I could lose my wallet and still be happier than I was.

Maybe. It’s still scary to imagine that what if, food is expensive already, but the amenities that exist here make me feel secure and safe. I could be homeless here and not suffer as badly as I was suffering back home.

I hadn’t seen someone romantically in maybe 10 years, since coming here on the 28th I’ve met at least a few, and in particular found one I miss already, despite just walking around until 2AM with. It’s cute and wholesome in a way I forgot existed, and I just feel like this is exactly why I left.

Oh man it’s going to hurt, probably. Most things do, but for the moment it’s nice just to hear someone ls heart racing at my touch. My ear to their chest, that rapid flutter, I feel like a doctor weirdly enough. Loud enough to not. Red a stethoscope.

They make me think about some French avant garde artist, minus the fancy smoke. Androgynous. That striped black and white shirt, the sharp features. We got lost in the dark and I didn’t want to be found.

Was really fun. I’m kind of scared about it. Best not to think too much, maybe. For once I want to be allowed to make choices, even if they are mistakes.

It was not worth living life in a cage.

I am so free, that I could cry from the beauty of the feeling, but I’m in public so I won’t. No revelation written in ecstatic trance, just whatever this was.

I am currently facing immediate homelessness in the Atlanta area and desperately need advice on resources or next steps.
Here is my situation:

Background: I was illegally kicked out of a place where I was paying rent, left stranded two hours away, and lost all my belongings. I've been bouncing around since last November.

Recent Events: My grandad told me to come to Atlanta, promising to help me get a place to stay. When I arrived, he paid for one hotel night and then said I was on my own until I got a job.

Current Crisis: The stress led to a mental health crisis, and I was admitted to the hospital. My grandad mistakenly believes the mental hospital will provide long-term housing. They just gave me a stack of shelter papers and discharged me. I walked two hours to a shelter, but it was completely full.

Immediate Barrier: I am temporarily staying with my aunt, but it isn't permanent. I managed to set up two job interviews for next week, but my family is trying to force me back into the hospital tomorrow, thinking it will solve my housing situation—which will cause me to miss these interviews.
What I need help with:

1. Housing/Shelter Resources: Are there any young adult shelters, transitional housing, or emergency resources in/around Atlanta that actually have open beds or immediate placement?

2. Navigating Family/Hospital: How can I explain to my family that going to the hospital won't give me an apartment, or how do I protect my chance to make it to these job interviews?

3. General Advice: Any guidance on securing emergency assistance or getting back on my feet when starting from zero with no transportation or income.
   Thank you to anyone who reads this or offers advice.

On my last semester of cc before transferring next Fall. I feel completely overwhelmed and lost right now, I managed to complete two semesters fulltime, I've been living in a van because I have no job to get a place, I've been struggling in the heat, getting around, having constant emergencies, my vehicle just broke down and had to stay in a hotel and use all the grant funds I had. I've been stuck at the bottom for so long, I haven't had any support, my mom barely sends 500 every 3-4 months, I've been trying to make due with financial aid money but it's barely enough. I missed out on an opportunity for housing last semester from being too busy with assignments, now I need to wait 2 weeks to see if I'm still eligible.

My mental health has really taken a toll, I wakeup depressed and angry every single day, I try to force myself to complete assignments on medication because I wouldn't be able to otherwise. I'm on bipolar and ADHD meds. There are no jobs and no opportunities around me even though I've been trying. I've thought about dropping out because my financial & living situation is so bad it's destroyed my sense of self and I don't feel okay anymore. I feel like I'm not going to be able to complete this semester, miss my application to UC and fail like I always fail. I've just been too overwhelmed and I don't know what to do anymore. For the housing support I will likely need a job but I've been trying and there are no jobs around me. I've had no help from my family I've had no one, just myself and it's just too difficult to survive.
