assume the fetal position and scream, "No, no! It's those
voices again!"

relax. If the store has a food court, buy a soft drink; explain
that you don't get out much, and ask if they can put a little
umbrella in it.

How to survive while homeless?
Big Slick
I may be without a home soon, so I was looking for some advice. I have no job, no one I can stay with, no car to sleep in, and very little money. I have a few clothes a some hygiene products (toothpaste, deodorant, razor, soap).
Thank you.
I know this isn't the right category for this question, but I wasn't sure where else to put it. If anyone knows where this goes, please let me know. Thank you.
Answer
http://www.nationalhomeless.org for a shelter directory and good advice in preparing for homelessness. Before you get without a place get your ID in order, state issued ID card if no driver's license, copy of your birth certificate, if you are getting your food on your own apply for food stamps. If under 18 apply for medicaid too. Find an address where you can get mail. See if you are eligible for a free phone at either http://www.safeling.com or http://assurancewireless.com. (apply for the food stamps first and having them makes you eligible otherwise goes by income ), see if you have a friend or relative where you can leave what you can not carry with you but don't want to loose? Someone who will let you wash clothes or take a shower there once in a while?
If you are under 21 also check out http://800runaway.org if you are in the US or Canada or call 800 RUNAWAY . This is for anyone under 21 who does not have a good safe place to be not just runaways. They have the best directory on youth shelters and best info for young ppl on the street. Also in US go to http://www.feedingamerica.org or if somewhere else do a web search for food help and for soup kitchens + the place you are.
You need to keep warm in cool weather and cool in hot weather, clean water or other clean beverage, food, & to protect yourself &your stuff. A sleeping bag and small tent can be helpful but if no safe place to keep them and have to carry them around it marks you as homeless which sets you up for harassment & they may get stolen. If you are wanting to be less visibly homeless get 1 or 2 "survival blankets" which are a reflective plastic sheet that keeps body heat in in winter and sun heat out in summer. They fold up to about the size of a cigarette pack. Coleman makes them. WallMart and such places sell them so do some larger grocery stores or order on line. Cost $2-3. Add a plastic a drop cloth and some fish line to string it up with like a tent and you have shelter in your pocket. Get a $1 rain poncho that has its own plastic case.
Most cities have shelters usually a bunk room with a lot of people sharing a sleeping space. It is inside, they feed you breakfast and probably supper, they usually have showers, bad part it is a bunch of people some of whom are not well or clean physically or mentally all in one place. Sleeping in the street or in a park is not allowed in most urban places. Rural places have fewer shelters but more possibilities for camping and maybe privacy.
Places to hang out and be safe. Best place is a job one that includes a place to stay many motels, resorts, camps, farms do. Otherwise work nights if possible, safer and you get a lot less hassle if you are snoozing in daytime. Waffle house type place probably means daily tips. Also good are temp help agencies, dish washing, clearing tables. If you can get hired at a hospital or nursing home even doing laundry or room cleaning they will often pay for your training for a better job. Libraries seem like good places to just be but if they think you are homeless they will throw you out or bust you. Large hospital ER waiting rooms are fairly safe places so is the employment office especially if crowded (register for work of course and check the computer job listings some job may turn up and anyway it makes you look legit) Be cautious about changing clothes and washing up in public rest rooms. Locate a few where there is just the one 'commode and you can lock the door. If you must change in a stall one keep all your stuff in the stall and don't make it obvious you are changing or washing up because some people and places will complain or even throw a vagrancy charge at you.
Hope this helps it is not much fun but it is survivable
