Try goverment housing through section 8 or try the projects.

first go and do something that you would really enjoy..   then you could find a needy family that is really trying to make it(parents work etc...)  but just can not seem to get ahead and help them out with the utilities, medical, food, or basic living expenses.  you do not necessarily have to give them the money you could pay for or buy the things that they need.

Well, if you have no job, I'm sure you can qualify for Section 8 housing.  You can find a job by applying for them.  Apply for as many places and don't pick and chose the things you want to do...  unfortunately most people don't have jobs they want to do.  Try fast food, sweeping floors, anything to start getting some income.

You can try apartments.com, or a local realtor if you need personal assistance.

Ok here goes.  Get a paper and pencil and make a list:\nRent\nUtilities (Elec &/or gas)\nFood (a biggie, don't short yourself!)\nPhone (optional)\nTV/Cable (optional)\nParking (if applicable)\nInsurance (for your car, if applicable)\nAny Payments (car, etc. that may be applicable)\nNow, fill in the projected amounts, based on apartments you have looked at, questions about average utility payments, etc.  Now, talley it up and compare it against your (projected) income.  This will tell you A0. if you can make it, B. what your limitations are, and C. what you can afford as far as housing goes.

** Job first **  \n\n\n\n\n\nunless you have money to rely on in the mean time.  \n\nWe used to live on the east coast and then I was about 21 (When I was young and foolish) I decided I wanted to live in CA -  I moved out there without any job lined up.  We had an appt already because I talked with the manager of the complex and gave them references from my then current landlord.  I gave them first last and security upfront.  Then when I got there - I pounded the pavement for the job.  \n\nSo it *could* work if you went first and then got the job later.  \n\nBut like I said - you have to have enough money to pay your bills and put down on the appt for a few months!!  not just a few pennies in the bank.  \n\nPLUS - make sure you are going there because you want to.  Not just to follow a boyfriend there.  Cause think about it... what if it doesn't work out.. is this a place you still want to make your home - if it is I would go for it... but if you think you will be high tale'n it back to Chicago if you break up... this may not be the best idea.

Most cities have some sort of legal aid kind of place for poor people.  Contact a social welfare office and see if you can get a referral.  Good luck!

Before going anyplace contact your local housing authority to get telephone numbers of public housing or Section 8 housing agencies. You need to find one that has openings.Section 8 is a good program. You can move into a house, apt, trailer and HUD will pay your rent, you only pay 30% of you adjusted income.  Most agencies also have a Family Self Sufficiency Program that would be excellent for you and your famiy.  It helps you set goals, employment and eventually gets you into homeownership. IF your housing authority where you live now has Section 8 voucher available, perhaps they would let you go portable to where you want to be.  If you have any questions about this program you can call my office 501 624-4405 ext 102 and I will help you in anyway I can.  Good Luck

check out the chamber of commerce.  all you need to do is address an envelope to the city and state.  the post office will know the zip if you don't.  also, check at hospitals.  they usually can help people find temporary shelter.  sorry for your situation.

Get your port folio ready with all your legitimate plans. When you are ready go to the big corporations like Johnson and Johnson and present your plan. If it is good enough someone will look at you. Don't give up if you don't get through at first. You need to try at least six companies.\n\nMake sure you research this thoroughly before you begin thinking of putting one foot in front of the big corporation's door. Speak to baby doctors about their preferred products for babies and why. Speak to mothers and nurses too. So you should prepare several questionaires and results should be compiled before making your move.

You poor thing. Have you called a lawyer? Remember most lawyers will answer your first question over the phone free. I do not think that you would have to leave. Because of not being able to make house payments, you may have to find another place to live.\nContact the H.U.D. agency. Since you are homeless, they will have to put you at the top of their list.  Get a list of government housings from H.u.D.  Put a full tank of gas in the car, take the children to grandma's and go put your application in at every government subsidized apartment complex that looks safe. \nThe Salvation Arny and agencies who help the homeless may help to pay your rent. You may have to do the degrading thing and apply for state assistance. They may put you in for emergency help. \nLook up social services  and social service agencies in the yellow pages. Call as many of these agencies as you can even those who you do not think can help you, just call. \nYou are not alone. If you can find support groups in your weekly shoppers guide or newspaper, call and go to those. you may even consider the program for relatives of alcoholics - ala non?, \nYou need so much in so many ways. You must seek God and put you and your children's lives in His hands.

Go to a Shelter.  Once you are there, you can meet with a Case Manager who should be able to refer you to the other agencies who can assist you with food, clothing, showers,  medical, & a referral for a bed for the night.  Housing won't be easy, unless you have children with you, then you sometimes get help faster.  If you are a "party animal", the shelter probably isn't for you because of the rules in regards to alcohol & drugs (you'll be kicked out).  If you don't want housing or shelter, you can still live in the streets & feed yourself by collecting cans, trading services for money or goods (wash car windshield for a burger).  Many homeless people make  great night watchman in exchange for being allowed to stay on property & out of the limelight of the "regular" street crowd.  Many of them panhandle for money.  Some people can't make it without others, while some people prefer to go it alone.  The Churches do a lot to help the homeless community who have no ID or papertrail, while the other agencies help people who have a more easily accessible past history in regards to ID, Social Security, & a past history WITH a papertrail that is easily traced.  Being homeless is not a life sentence, but when you are actually out there in the streets, you feel as if you will be there forever!  Many are traumitized from this experience due to the violence & abuse by both the other street people & the System that was put in place to help, but the people who are working & volunteering in these places prey on the homeless, thinking they can get away with it.  If a person keeps trying & goes from place to place to place, eventually they will get the help they need...or die trying!  I spent a lot of nights hiding out in utility rooms & under vehicles to stay out of sight & safe.  In L.A. you can ride the bus all nite when the shelter is full or you missed the check in time.

1) retire and live off pension or social security;\n2) live in a barter-based community;\n3) be a non-working spouse or child;\n4) collect disability or unemployment insurance;\n5) win the lotto;\n6) join a nunery or monastery;\n7) become a public charge\n\nThis isn't my area of expertise, but I'm sure there are plenty more ways in which people survive without jobs. Is that what you want to do?\n\n_______________________

try HEAP for aid for heating bills,go to social services department at your downtown county building or look in the blue pages of your phone book. \n  My sister formerly used such services,as she was and still is a single mother with 3 children and has used assistance for milk,cheese,etc..cannot remember the service she used.\n  Your income is your qualifier,I don't think that child support is included as income,at least it is not used as income for tax purposes.\n  Children will eat you out of house and home,if you don't apply for something,and i am sure you cannot depend on your own business with the economical fluctuations which can be cyclical. \n  Good luck..no one should have to choose between money for food and/or rent or clothes on your back.\n  Also make sure you apply for the school lunch program for your children to receive free or reduced lunches depending..again on your income.\n  I used to live in New York and grew up there,my own mother was a single mom,and I remember receiving reduced lunches at school..although I remember selling my lunch tokens for cash..lol.\n  please ignore all the snobbish comments from Rich bratty Republicans who don't know what it is like to have to struggle to make ends meet.

Look on the internet for a cheap motel, best if they rent by the month or week.  Look into the YMCA.  Get a real good map of the new city.  Find the nearest bowling alley and go to the bar.  People in bowling alleys know all about their area and they're very helpful.  Just sit at the bar studying your map, or the classified ads on the newspaper.  Someone will ask you what you're looking for.  \n\nThen you have to go to the post office and get your mail forwarded, but its best to do that after you get a permanent place.  Eventually you'll have to change your drivers license.\n\nIt's best to have a cell phone.\n\nThat's about it!
