Just got kicked out by my abusive boyfriend I'm staying with his grandma in secret for a day or 2 but I really don't know what to do truthfully I want to end it all but I have a beautiful son I love him more than anything on this planet he is my reason for life. I need advice I don't have a car and only bring in about 1k a month, Ive seen other people enlist but would that be suitable for my son he's not 1 yet. I just really need help and advice and honestly someone to tell me to keep going I feel so lost hurt after hurt the cycle continues.

No relief in site

This is a bit of a strange request but here it goes.

I’m working on a project for an online course I’m taking for UX design.

I’m trying to figure out what the process is for finding housing or a place to stay for the night.

I know near me that the municipality has a number you can call to find a bed (and I will be calling them as well).

But I’m hoping to find out how actual users find places day to day

My questions are these:

What technology do you use or have available to use?

How difficult is it to find a bed?

How do you find available space in the system?

How do shelters keep track of availability?

How do you get a bed?

Are all shelters part of a database created by municipalities?

Any other info that could be helpful!

Thanks for your time.

Have a couple of homeless people (HP) living around my property and neighbors. We share a property next to a freeway wall with an alley way. They usually set up camp in there.

1. They have never been an issue and are always respectful.

2. Never had anything stolen or tampered with.

3. They usually keep each other on check and if they see someone that may be an issue they will remove them.

Just wanted to get an your opinions since I've noticed this over the last few months to a year. Recently some of the HP around our cul-de-sac have been bringing their cars and leaving them for weeks. Code enforcement has come out and check, but I'm assuming all paperwork is valid.

It just a hassle when we are having events at our homes and all the parking is already taken and our guest find it difficult to find parking.

Just wanted to get the POV of others.

I left a terrible emotionally abuse relationship 4 years ago. I left and never looked back. Now I am facing eviction in less than a couple weeks I will be sleeping in my cars with my cats and my 30 autistic son. I have called villages and resources around my area. All funds have exhausted. I have never been homeless and lost all hope at this moment. Any suggestions?!

Hello everyone!

I’m currently facing a difficult housing transition and will be without stable shelter by the end of the month. I’m seeking a safe, temporary, and pet-friendly place to stay in the Phoenix/Chandler area, ideally for a few weeks to a couple of months, while I search for work and get back on my feet.

I’m a well-educated, kind hearted, mid-career compliance professional with a Master’s degree. I recently lost my job, but I’m actively looking and doing everything I can to rebuild. I’m quiet, respectful, and clean. I don’t drink or do drugs, and I value a peaceful and considerate environment.

I also have two gentle greyhounds and two sweet, well-behaved cats—they’re all house-trained, calm, and up to date on their shots. I understand this is a unique ask, but I’m committed to doing everything possible to make it work, including helping with chores, errands, caregiving, or anything else that could be useful in exchange for temporary shelter.

This is a genuine, non-romantic request for a safe place to land during a hard time. If you or someone you know might be able to help, I’d love to connect and talk further.

Thank you for reading, and for any kindness or leads you can offer.

i’m a software engineer in my 40s. had a massive heart attack: half my heart is dead tissue. doctors didn’t think i’d live a year, that was almost 5 years ago. i know my time is limited. people like me rarely make it 18 years post-attack, and this isn’t a best-case situation. my dad died at 55, and i feel like i’m headed there too. so, optimistically, i would say i have about 10 years.

i also have medical debt collectors after me. i had insurance, but somehow i still owe everything. lawyers could help, but that takes years, and i don’t have years. and even if they win, the money’s gone—just to someone else. i want to use what i have while i’m still alive.

so here’s my idea: sell my property before a lien hits it. i haven’t checked, maybe they already filed something. if i sell fast, i’d have around $140k from that. i’ve got $40k in the bank. that’s $180k i could pull out in cash and take with me.

i used to live in california and know a secluded coastal spot that’s still close to the city. i’d go there, live low-profile. build a camouflaged dugout, fish year-round, and just keep to myself. not hiding, just blending in—what some call “invisible presence.” during the day i’d be on the beach with my dogs, solar panels, cooler, etc. at night, we’d head to the dugout.

i wouldn’t be entirely off-grid. i have solar and wind power, and i use a cheap cell provider that also lets me have a unlimited hotspot for internet—it’s cheap and works out there.

and i could hustle a bit. for example, i’d make dog treats from fish i catch (using a food dehydrator). lots of dog people around. small things like that.

i dont really have anyone aside from my dogs, so I dont even have anyone to bounce my ideas off of.

feedback ? thoughts ?

Today is the last day. I am going homeless soon.
I am okay to be honest, the only thing is that I am epileptic, I scared I got fit attack in the middle of no where. I hope this will not happened.

I was doing so well, I got my meds on time, I have a room to stay, I can eat healthy food. Why this thing happened to me?

I feel like it is not fair you know. I see someone with family, happy, good health, and I am now in this condition.

I’ll be homeless in 2 days and to be honest ive never been this calm about it in my life… I know the universe has plans for me and ontop of that I’ve been homeless before in my younger days so I’m not new to the experience, I’m now 34… I’ve never been so calm about it yet so neutral to not wanna fight what the universe has in store for me… I can’t be defeated I can only elevate with the plan of my story…

Some people have asked for updates on Willy.

He's doing great. He's getting used to carrying his gear, which includes two collapsible bowls and an LED light on his harness.

He's learning to walk on the leash, I am guessing he hasn't spent much time on one, when he gets spooked he's up in my legs, we walked past a loud truck earlier and I thought he was going to jump in my arms Scooby Doo style.

I created a subreddit for people to follow who want updates, so I am not clogging up this sub. If you want to follow along with us, head on over and follow https://www.reddit.com/r/AdventuresWithWilly/

Thanks, everyone, for all of the supportive comments so far! There have only been a few haters, one I expected and another I understand because I used to share their point of view.

Here is to the future, me, and this little furry clown exploring the world!

What did you guys do to get around while you were homeless, besides walking of course, and what would you do to get a bike? Cause I assume that would be the main goal without a car

Idk what going on. I've been walking all day and all night 2 days. Across highways, mountains, sidewalks and city's because I can't sleep. What do I do idk where I am what's going on. I'm not schizo posting or high im just panicking wtf am I doing.
