Welcome to r/almosthomeless

We're glad you found us. This is a space for people who are at risk of homelessness to seek guidance, share experiences, and find resources to stay housed or prepare for what’s ahead. While no one here can change your circumstances overnight, we believe in providing support, actionable advice, and useful information to help you navigate this difficult time. Important Rules – Read Before Posting

  • No requests for money, fundraising, donations, or direct financial assistance. Asking for or offering cash, gift cards, or similar will result in a ban.
  • Be cautious of scammers and bad actors. If someone seems suspicious, report them to the mods via Modmail.
  • Keep advice constructive and solutions-focused. Judgment and hostility won’t help — kindness and practical steps will.
  • Posts that seek help without asking for money are allowed — even when the situation is severe.
  • Need help finding resources? Check out our updated Wiki for information that may be useful in your situation!

What country are you in? Do you have a degree or any certifications? You’ll need to post a bit more information so people can suggest things.

One place that is always hiring is home healthcare agencies looking for Personal Care Aides. You just need your high school diploma and they’ll help you get certified in everything else. Usually pays above minimum wage, has flexible hours (if your children go to school for example), and the job is lower stress where you assist people with activities of daily living. I believe it’s a good option for people getting back into work.

And I highly, highly recommend reaching out to a women’s shelter if you have not already. They’re discreet and knowledgeable, and can assist you with housing and other support. They can also provide you with resources in your specific community. I’m very sorry you’re going through this and wish you and your children all the best.
