I agree with the previous poster.  Look for someone local working in the field.  The local social services office can refer you to someone who can help youl

You could try the local YMCA or a Citizens Advice Vureau will point you in the right direction I am sure.  One cother source comes to mind, and that is your local Council Social Department.  They may be able to give you further information.  Failing that, there is always the net for you to source on.\n\nGood luck with your project and I hope this helps.\n\nCorinne

Well, in my town, they usually hang around Wal-Mart. Burger King is right next to it. There are not a whole lot of homeless people though. Most are veterans who are missing limbs, so I always feel really bad for them. I don't like just giving them money because you just never know what their going to buy with it (like booze or drugs). However, I hate to see people going hungry. So, I usually stop by Burger King and pick them up a meal. So, if your able to do this, that would be my suggestion. Or, you could point them in the direction of the nearest homeless shelter if you have one in your community.

well that's not a good idea. most homeless people are homeless because they screwed up their life. they do not deserve a home of their own.

First of all, I am sorry for the challenges you are facing.  Do you have any family willing to help?  Homeless shelters are not fun places to be so if you can avoid it, please do.  If you cannot, look up in the phone book your state's department of human services.  You will get a referral number to call and will probably have to leave a message.  Explain your situation to the casemanager when they call back and they will be able to give you good advice on what are your next steps.  Also, while you are at it, check with your local department of unemployment offices for help.  Maybe you are eligible for unemployment and maybe not but there are other services they may provide such as career counseling, review of your resume, computers for job searches, job listings, computer training and others I may not be aware of.  Unemployment is pretty helpful and the counselors/workers seem to really want to help you find a job.  I don't know specifics for your state but in New Jersey there are many services available to those who need temporary assistance.  Good luck!

May I suggest your local Rape Crisis Center or Battered Women's Shelter in your local area.  What a blessing that would be.  Also, if you have a homeless shelter in your area, buy everyone good hats and gloves.  Jingle blessings!

Contact the local chapter of the Red Cross or St Vincent De Paul Society or the Salvation Army, ASAP.  Most of these organizations can assist you in finding emergency housing based on your situation.  Good Luck and God Bless!

I have the same sort of issues! You could give them away to prison inmates or the homeless, that's one thing I've done in the past. There are still people out there who have not heard the Good News! :)
