in the country area of Mississippi or one of the southern states. There are cheap places in the northeast area of pa ans also the middle of the state.  The further you go from the cities the cheaper it is to live. The myth of cheap living in Mexico or south America is being exposed and 450 a month is not very much to live anyplace.  Government food stamps and housing support is available for people with that little.

If you ever find it please tell me. I don't think there is a state thats good for that, unless you want to hang out in a militia.

You'll probably get all the info you need (and more) if you contact an administrator of an AK homeless shelter. Just look up 'Homeless Services' in the yellow pages, and ask for the administrator.

You DON'T need to commit a crime to survive. You can job a new job or two, get help from homeless and religious organizations, get  free or inexpensive counseling from the hospital or the county health department, and  food from food banks and non-profit organizations.\nIt's all out there for you. Start looking. Good luck.

Any big city...like New York city NY, San Diego Ca, Los Angeles Ca, Fort Worth Tx, Dallas Tx....etc. I would stay away from Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and many parts of Tennessee, North & South Carolinia. Mississippi would be a great place to go, but it's a poor state in the sense of finding good jobs there.

Missouri Has the Best Cost of Living and would be nice, I'm  told the weather is modest..however Washington State has the Highest Minimum Wage and they have it good there with your option of Ocean, Mountain,etc and a wide varity of job Markets.

No.  Most of the homeless people where I live have a serious drug or alcohol problem.  I refuse to give someone money or help them get a job after I've seen them shoot up on the stairs of my building.  Many of them have tried to bully me out of money while I was AT WORK by claiming I was obviously rich since I had a job ($5/hr).  But I have no problem placing my leftover takeout meals on the sidewalk where they can find them (takes about 30 seconds since I'm in NYC) along with old clothing/shoes/blankets that I come across.  I've had people come up to me at my job 5 or 6 times in one day begging for money because I once gave them a quarter 2 years ago.  I will not establish a relationship with a dependent person in my own neighborhood.  They will never be satisfied and they will always ask for more.

Hi Bill,\nIn the USA you can find many opportunities in any big city. Get on a bus to take you downtown. It won't be much of a walk until you find a soup kitchen where you can apply your talents. Many homeless people are suffering from mental illness and your gift of reason and skills for personal communication can be a great help to getting them get off the streets.\nPut your education to use, Bill. Make the world a better place for all of us.\n-gabe

Organize a group of people together to feed the homeless that are in the street. There is such a homeless problem in California and not enough shelters to help all of the homeless. There are a few different people/groups of people I have witnessed that have made it their business to make hundreds of sandwiches a day and pass them out to the homeless. There was a lady in Los Angeles who would cook great healthy homemade soups and drive around to the different spots where she knew the homeless people would gather and she made sure they had something good to eat as regularly as possible. But sometimes people can't do that on such a grand scale and it still makes a big difference on a smaller scale sometimes. Just giving something to a homeless person - a warmed plate of your leftovers from dinner perhaps - is a great thing.\n\nWalk up to a homeless woman who is minding her own business, not begging off of anybody, and give her 10% of your weekly income. I met a man one time who did that because he no longer attended church and it was his form of paying tithes. See how big that woman's smile gets. Depending on what you make, you might be able to divide that among 10 homeless women and still get great, surprised, thankful, almost wondrous expressions of happiness.\n\nVolunteer to mentor or assist a homeless person who is not totally beyond help. There are plenty of homeless people out there who look beyond help. Homelessness is a battle of hopelessness. The longer a time a person remains homeless, the more hopeless they feel about everything. People who have been homeless for more than a year become "The Chronic Homeless" and their chances for being able to escape the confines of homelessnes are statistically decreased. Sometimes people just need an address for employment opportunities, a contact phone number for messages, encouragement, food, a safe place to store clothing and personal belongings. When homeless people don't have at least these meager advantages, it can be intensely difficult to make it back into a more normal type of living environment.\n\nBecome a mentor or a Big Brother.\n\nVolunteer to tutor children or speak to children to motivate them to study well so they can become a graphic designer or whatever they want to achieve.\n\nDonate some of your graphic design services or discount as a donation to help non-profit charities advertise events that can help them achieve their goals.\n\nCounty hospitals often welcome volunteer administrative help.\n\n(Just a few ideas - I could go on forever with this. So many worthy causes out there need volunteeristic people.)

I believe Missouri and Tennessee are in the top three states with the lowest cost of living.\n\nThey have three Costco locations in Tennessee but I would avoid Memphis - try near Brentwood. As for Missouri, try the area near Joplin Mo.

In the State of Wyoming,California,Montana,New jersey are the best states. Great background for all of them.
