people do not trust each other,seldom you can find anyone to offer you a place to stay over night,it is our responsibility to provide for ourself,if unable then government,but do not be discourage if facing unkind behavioure from mankind.

I have witnessed a few things in Social Housing, one such being the roof space of one rented house being boarded out and twenty matresses laid out.\n\nPeople were sleeping on them during the day, which presumably means an equal number of others slept there at night.\n\nNot a bad bit of sub-letting.\n\nThe Occupants were I am told carrying out the lowest of work tasks at hunger rates.\n\nLooked like slavery to me.\n\nIt was duly reported by me, and absolutely nothing done about it.\n\nRackman lives and thrives.

Only if I know you, and I don't. Sorry. Dress up as a homeless dude and go ask for money. My cousin did it and made $15 a day! Dead serious in SO, CAL

Dress up like a homeless person and beg for change.

Yes. It scams your ego. There are Who's Who scams for every thing that people do almost. The ones you won't find are Who's Who Homeless or Who's Who Living Simply. In other words, if you do something that makes money for somebody, they want to sell you a book and a certificate to pump money out of your ego.

Can't be done.  Human nature is greedy and acquisitive on one hand, and lazy on the other.  I've worked with homeless folks in a couple of large cities, and in the US at least, many of the homeless I've encountered are unemployed by choice -- they don't want to live 'the straight life.'  They don't want to follow directions from a boss; they don't want to get up early in the morning and work all day; temporary help is available to get them back on their feet but they simply choose not to do what it takes.  Some of them admit to making several attempts: getting a place to stay, getting a job, getting decent clothes to wear to work, and then after a few weeks dropping out because they didn't like the lifestyle.\nMany others are unemployable because of mental illness, retardation, or other reasons, and that's a different issue.  But the lazy and character-deficient will create a permanent underclass even if we find a way to take care of the rest.

I did it once. I was told to go to longhorn restaurant and pay for two lunches. it was to be for thirty five dollars for the two meals. you watch how long it takes to be seated at the table. you check the kitchen and bathrooms and how clean the place is. then they send you a survey about the restaurant and you wait weeks to get your money back. the same thirty five dollars that you took out of your pocket you get back. I never bothered to do it again because it was not worth it. sometimes I would get an email to lie and go to an apartment and ask for a two bedroom when I have a boy and a girl. I will not lie for anyone. then they wanted me to go into a jewelry store and make believe I was buying a diamond. again to lie. I did not like it to have to lie to anyone. to me it was a waste of time and energy. sometimes you wait months for you to have another job. many times they want you to drive miles away from your home. I quit

Sure, why not. Giving a homeless person a job takes some reliability off the state/federal government! Hire two!

I have a mental illness and I was homeless when I became ill and could no longer work.  3 years went by before I could buy a home so I stayed in homeless shelters and the Salvation Army and even on the street.\n\nThen my Social Security Disability pension went through and I had to buy everything from scratch.  I had nothing....\n\nSome homeless people that carry signs and are on drugs and alcohol I hate.  There are some very evil homeless people out there and I understand why others hate homeless people.  \n\nI've lived at home for 7 years now, but I feel blessed that I earned good money while I could so I can benefit during the time when I am unable to work...

Yes, it is possible, so make sure you can handle your liquor!\n\n\nOtherwise, you might wake up next to a naked stranger   :o(

As others have stated, we all get scammed at some point in our lives.  Hopefully, we all learn a lesson from it.\n\nI've been scammed many times, the most recent being last year.  A woman at work stated that she had cancer and did not have a place to stay.  I gave up my main living unit upstairs to her, and I lived downstairs in the guest area.  To make a long story short, it turns out she didn't have cancer and just wanted a free place to stay.  It took me 3 weeks to find this out.\n\nRemember some simple rules:\n\nIf it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.\n\nProtect your personal information and NEVER give out your SS#.  No reputable individual would ever ask for that information through email or by phone.  If it is by phone, ask them to mail you something so that you can confirm.\n\nUnsolicited emails can often be a scam.\n\nThese half hour commercials sell products that will cost you a fraction of the cost when it hits the stores.  If it doesn't hit the stores, it probably was a bad product.\n\nDon't be fooled by "lifetime guarantees".  These companies that you have never heard about often go out of business.\n\nIf it is illegal or "under the table", you have no recourse.\n\nIn short, be circumspect with whom you deal.

Yes, I would.  Contact your local Housing Authority to look for housing assistance.
