He Gina how did things turn out for you? Curious because we r homeless too. Couples with jobs and low income are going through it. By the grace of God we have another nite at a motor in. I’m journaling my experience. Why, because I planned years ago to have my dream Butterfly Mansion. A place for abandoned babies, and Christ Centered program for couples that are married. Good luck and hang in there

I live in Massachusettes and i have been living with my gf and her parents for awhile now and if i dont get out there place there landlord will evict them so i kinda have to leave. I asked my brother could i stay with him and his gf and he said no he has no room and i also asked my own father his said no. You would think family being the closest to me would help me out but NO apparently not! So im homeless with no where to turn and without a job. I am currently not talking to my family any longer cause there a**holes.
Have you found one helps
I would seek out a rooming house, most cities still have them. Usually down town and not a great neighbourhood, but it beats the heck out of being homeless on the street.
I can only imagine how it feels to be homeless. I hope you are getting what you can from the red cross. It takes a very strong person to handle this. I on the other hand couldn’t deal with it at all. I don’t know what I could do other than cry.
You have great pottentionsl.

I have recently suffered from homelessness for 9 months in my vehicle due to a faulty heater and a lack of available reasonable housing market rates in Santa Cruz California. I have learned a wealth of useful information on the resources that actually work, where to find them in any town, and useful tips on personal experience along with low income and sec.8 housing vouchers experience my hope is that I can help even one person with what took me so long to narrow down I will be happy to do so.

Hi, I live in Galveston tx, I just got kicked out of the salvation army for not going to case management that I was not aware of. No staff members (alcoholic and ghetto hotchie thugs) that works there never told me about it to go. I followed the rules, paid 50 a week (I’m paid for this week as well and they won’t refund). I am working but I have no where to go, I’m a church man too. I don’t drink or anything but I keep having bad luck and kicked while I’m down by society and fake salvation army. They didn’t even give me a notice to leave. I have no money till next week and I want to move to Austin by my family with better opportunities. Can anyone please help me with advice or anything. Thanks Clint
Panhandle my hubby and I do…we are homeless and have two kids and two on they way.

My husband and I live in Oregon. Due to DHS taking our son from us because of a drop domestics violence charge 6 months prior and our status of homeless (even though we had been currently living at my parents for two weeks) we had to leave our semi residence otherwise they wouldn’t place him with my parents (which they still haven’t done). Have been living in our car for awhile. My husband has two jobs lined up starting shortly, but have no safe place to live, which also means less likely we’ll get our son back anytime soon due to this. Shelters around the area tend not to take couples and keep them together. If anyone has any sort of advice or suggestions, would be welcome. We’re currently ghosting around the north coastal area.
Sorry but that was dumb. Now child protection has something on you. Domestic violence happens for one of two reasons: Disrespecting ur husband or showing him fear. U r not supposed to show fear to anyone other than God Almighty.
Kelli Durow is an awful person, and will probably be opted into hell on the judgment day. Contact Volunteers of America. They can help you get back on your feet.

I really wanted to reply to the man’s opinion below but it was not an option. Don’t listen to his personal unintelligent information. First of all he he is trying to point out the importance and meaning of the word respect when he clearly doesn’t understand the definition because his first action was to disrespect you by calling you dumb which is not only an immature statement but I’m really trying to wrap my head around his 2 reasons why he apparently believes disrespect or anything otherwise warrants the right to inflict physical hands on pain and abuse to another human being or living things. I really get annoyed by stupidity which is only a poor excuse for being too lazy to research every factor of a situation. I would suggest to this man he Google a blog for idiots where there to post his opinion where he would be a better fit. Hope you realize while I know you love the spouse it’s not ever OK to be hurt by anyone physically or mentally suggest counseling and to really examine your life and that every action you take and decision you make effects the future of you and those around you. Homeless is a horrible situation rather by choice or uncontrollable circumstances I know first hand but dismiss the comment below and you sir are obviously uneducated and should reconsider the way you respond to others and know by now if you have nothing positive to contribute the general rule is to keep your mouth shut or simply don’t get involved where it’s not requested of you. Simple logic. Below is a suggested readsir.

Have you tried looking for churches that may have a shelter program or thought about utilizing camping facilities which on how I can provide information on how you may qualify for 50% off sites it might be worth taking advantage of the last of the summer to give yourself a break from the car. I am curious as to what part of Oregon specially as I’m well familiar the southern Oregon Coast. I am wondering if you are looking for a place to move to in that case I can give you some valuable information that should be factors in your decision before choosing a specific area.
I hope u don’t offense but if it do…..ok.
My question is this, what’s more important ur bf (husband) or ur son? If it We’re me I would do whatever it takes to get my child back! If u have to leave ur husband, and are able to stay with ur parents, get ur shit together, get out of ur car, a job and get ur kid! Whats so hard about that? Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that its much, much, easier said than done, BUT IT CAN BE DONE! So get ur ass up outta the back seat of the car and get ur kid back ASAP!
Do u even have any clue the damage ur doing to ur child?!

Sleep at bus stops, if can work go to library take few hours nap inside library, if can work i would go to a bank open up savings acct. Then go to the desk and ask for bank manager for a $4000.00 bank loan telling them you trying to get apartment in next state for one year. THEN take loan from bank account, $1,300.00 and keep it on you- go online internet -search for: $800.00 , dollar cheap land for sale in your state then buy the land, a lot or- one acre. Dont use up all tge loan money only too use part of it for property. Then go to sporting good store later date, and buy – tent put on your land paid cash for. THE REST of loan money- pay the bank back monthly the same money they gave you, go to work ontime daily, drop checks into – same savings acct. Dont eat expensive restaurants, get loaf bread, peanut butter, can food beans cheaper than fish in the can drink fruit juices . You will live with no rent -because you practically own the lot or acre land -the tent afford is the place to sleep untell you can purchase a camper .
Hi Dianne my name is Christine ( chrissy ) Oakhem and have you tried cathlioc services in your area as it don’t matter what religion but they usually have some kind of advise,i wish you’s luck and will keep you’s in my prayers
I was once on living my dreams. I was a loving father of 4, and I worked the railroad day in and day out. I’m not going to lie, the pay was not the best, but it covered the bills. One chilly February day, my step daughter, Jillian, got raped. I was wrongly accused, and thrown in jail. My buddy Tony helped bail me out, and for a while let me sleep on his floor. I lost my job after I was thrown in jail, and Tony got hit and killed by a drunk driver on June 8th 2011. Since then, I have been stealing money from church collection baskets. I frequently wander in parts of southern Louisiana. I hop from bed to bed to get pay as well. I need some money, a bike, and a nice warm blanket.
please people stop judging ppl i take in children or homeless ppl so your buddy died sorry
thats awsome
That was fantastic
WOW that’s horrible and im so sorry for all your going threw i know right now
you may not believe in God BUT he’s there ,i’ve been where you are for many years ,but you just HAVE TO remain strong,i’m SO SORRY as to your friend Tony,but he’s right by as is God just ask God for help n keep him in mind ALWAYS and you”ll see things change in time,stay strong

So sorry to hear your situation. Im thinking of you go to welfare they can help get birth certificates for free. Severly years ago they did it for me. I live in Pittsburgh. They may also help you with other issues. Good luck and God bless.
Are you still homeless. I can help. If you still need it. But are you willing to move to R.i. we can work something out. . I have a LOT of apartments and a open one where I live. So I can help. If so . Contact me at.. PatrickMurphy1069@gmail.com. thanks
Ask yahweh.com website, they except homeless peoples must be willing to except biblical.
Anyone in Mass …Attleboro, Norton, North Attleboro area have any apartments for rent cheap. I have 2 girls and been living in a shelter for 2 years. I can not work due to medical issues Any help would be appreciated.
Sharon, I live in CA and I’m sure things are the same in most states, with all the houses vacant owners are looking for someone to live temp in these house because they are just going to sit anyway why not protect it from people who might destroy everything. you have to have good character references. prove you aren’t a flake and I think you cant have any drug or fraud convictions, no felonies. and of course no evictions. credit isn’t checked but court records are. if you know of a pastor of a church he might be able to find these places for you. real estate companies do something like this but they charge very cheap rent. and you must look like an upstanding citizen, There’s a lot of elderly people in big homes who need help and who stay young with kids around. I know someone who right now is living in Santa Barbara CA in a home that sold for 11.6 million dollars and her kids go to very good public schools there. She looks after the older woman who owns the home but her side of the estate is 3,000 square feet. the older woman doesn’t need constant care its more for companion in this very large home with neighbors quarter mile away. too isolated. this is a dream come true for my friend. her kids have a grandma now too. the older woman lets her drive her 300k Mercedes that usually sits in garage. its been a good thing for over two years now. you should network and look at all avenues to find a nice place, good luck to you.
I’m not sure if you still need help. I live in Massachusetts. I have a FB page you can check out. Look for Frasier Management. The woman is amazing and I know that she has property from the cape all the way to Braintree. Good luck and I really hope it helps.
i now am homeless due to i own the house but i have said stalker that wants to kill me and i also was robbed by gun point and tossed in jail for someone braking the front door down at 1130 pm thanks to smith county sheriff that on the cult group list with mr. watson that broke into my home an tried to hurt me, but navy showed me some moves that saved my life but still went to jail thanks to dirty cops and judge and district attorney that is dirty , also i was getting robbed from someone else entering my bank accounts and credit cards as well an did know that person doing it until i found ebay and paypal receipts with his name on the steve wakefield stolen my info and destroying my home the rest the way used motor oil, holes in drywall , shit on walls, busted up shower , plumbing fixtures ,pipes , electrical all jacked up. holes in lid, cash taken from bank accounts but no one in smith county ks would even file a police report or even do there jobs like there getting paid to do but target disable vets that work out of the area and check on family stuff and go back to work in said other location. forced out of my home to live in rv no running water no power an yes it was winter an i made it threw but it was rough and i tell you while i was in jail no food 2 days, 3 days no blanket, 5 days no shower. covered in blood. and with a major cut on my left hand where the gun hammer went off and cut on neck as well but the dirty cops cover up hidden the gun so it was missing when rest showed up that the smith county police department in ks. the court house is dirty stolen bond money as well. i worked all my life saving every thing i can an trying to help others and even gave to 189,000.00 to hospital wing addition project by force on extras but its for the area .

i know how you feel ks allows criminals to run the state and the police aid in to the theft an even us guns an break in to your home trying to kill ya an even disable vets like me, they even force ya into plea agreements, and the criminal gets paid for his B.an E. and brandishing a gun, the treasure steals your bond money, and then your so called friends steal your identity as well and run charges to you bank accounts draining ever life funds out of them, and selling off your stuff as well if they dont sell it they destroy it as well and the dirty cops and his friends dont do anything and love this the district attorney forces ya in to plea agreement by gun point as well, and the justice officer on the take an his son is a drug dealer so if ya live there ya just screwed best of luck they destroyed a disable vet, honest hard working american that never did anything wrong in his life and donated to hospital wings and other charity fund raisers but now i am a homeless vet that lives in rv home destroyed by renter and stolen my identity an force out by some one trying his hardest to hurt me harm me an destroy my stuff as well, so i live in fear, an the police in ks aid this kind of people. an smith county ks is the worst place on earth so far i have found. good luck run run.
Go to a large spirit filed Christian church and ask them what options you have. The devil is a liar and a thief and he has rule of this world for a short time longer. So find a large church that has the resources to help you now. Let them help you Get right with God, (there is not one, including myself, who doesn’t need God’s guidance to overcome the evil of this world). With God in your heart, no weapon formed against you will prosper.
Help me. I cant keep asking and being turned down. Im in grover beach ca and been living in my car for severalmonths now. I cant take it. Its so hard to hold my job as a dishwasher because my legs hurt so bad from sleeping in a cold car. I got valley fever because im homeless. I have no family. They abandoned me after i gave up my apt and my life to help get my dad on his feet. Its so cold , eveyday i see that train go by and debate on stepping in front of it. Icant take it. Does anybody care? Not that ive found
Since you gave so much of yourself to help your dad and you need a place to live, you sound like a good candidate for a live-in caregiver job. Try this search to find some of those opportunities. — live-in caregiver jobs “grover beach” “st. louis obispo” — You might need to get some formal training, dependingthe tasks involved, but in many communities the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation will either provide that training for free.
I am homeless w/car, just like you.
I heard your pain in that post.
You can believe that I will be praying for you tonight as I lay down in my cramped vehicle and try to fall asleep in below freezing temps.
You’re going to be helped.
Sue, yes we care. A decent nights rest without be awakened by the ache of cold is a blessing I’m sending your way. Holidays are tough for many of us. We all came from some sort of family and have an empty place in our hearts now. I’m also living in car in central CA. Had a great life, lost most everything except hope. Can’t take that from me, but there are days I feel like giving it away, same as you. Somebody out there needs me, I can and do make a difference in another’s life. Keeps me from all wrong.
My daughter and me have been abandoned by her Godfather who said he would take care of us while my boyfriend was getting treatments in Baltimore for a term disease he got from 9-11. We’ve been in a motel over 30 days, but our receipt says exactly 30 days.i was advised to get an injunction against this motel owner, I’m scared of being on the streets, need some bus passes to travel cause I lost my car 2 weeks ago and my daughter is starting school next week. I had to leave suddenly, had no money to store my belongings, we need clothes and basics stuff footsteps doesn’t cover. I am confused about getting motel vouchers, the whole first floor here is people homeless that have been here for months. Please can anyone guide me the right help I so desperately need?
The below website directs you to apartment buildings that have project-based housing meaning some of the apts. in the buiding has a subsidy attached to and therefore you would pay 30% of your income for rent.

Please, if you are still in the position to help. Ive been seriously HAD by my x husband.i was married 18 years. I was a fulltime stay at home mom. My x husband built a very successful hvac business in my name. He tricked me to sell it to his dad for pennies. He became an employee and fudges his numbers. Not the worst part…..he had stopped paying our mortgage for 11 months. He assured me no one gets the house so i signed the deed, believing he would clean up the finances beforw he left. No… He modified the loan with my name on it bit off of the deed. To date he dates my (then) best friend, has a very successful business in his dads name and he lives in our 400k home. I work three jobs, on public assistance and move from apartment to apartment…PLEASE IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE POSITION TO HELP PLEASE REFER ME TO SOMEONE WHO IS
You are saying exactly what I am going through… I lost everything and my ex-to be hid every asset in his friends names.. He has a private biz so he is shielded from the courts.. I have lived in my car and have struggled triing to hold my head up with my two sons… Now I can’t even get auto insurance because I am homeless… I don’t know where to turn… I have a job, work hard, rent is just too high.. I am alone and very afraid..
Connie sorry to hear your story. I think I can help. Email me at quandary101@aol.com. Please put legal advice in subject line.
If I may ask what are the rental rates in your area? Please help me understand what you mean by move from apartment to apartment. Maybe we can talk about what it would take to make sure you more stable and find a better solution. I am not an attorney but a homeless advocate who learned a wealth of information due to homeless experience due to a house fire that in an instant changed my life from having a stable home to living in my vehicle for 9 months. I know that the drastic living environment change is very difficult. If I had more specifics I would be happy to help you reach a better solution.
Jacqueline
If you want to contact me I will do my best to help you obtain a more stable environment and check to see if there’s any options available to help you in your area I would just need some more specifics. I completely understand and went through a fire that caused drastic change in lifestyle completely. I have a lot of informative experience and think the first approach would be to make sure you have stability.and work on a solution as to what’s preventing that from being obtainable.

me an my wife have been renting the moby dick motel in dartmouth mass 02747 for the last months we are homeless but we have jobs not great ones good enough to just make it the boss came an told us yesterday morning that a worker is coming down an needs this room an there are no other roooms for us to rent we are quiet dont cause any problems an we pay her all the time we owe no money at all so now we are stuck with all kind off stuff with no car cause its at mechanics we are stressed an dont know what to do can u please give us some advice an can u tell me if its legal to throw someone onto the street for nothing
You have to look at your rental agreement to get the answer to this question. Most of the time when you pay for a hotel room, you only get to use the room for the amount of time you have paid for up front. This is why hotels make people reserve the room with a credit card number before they can even go into the room. They don’t usually guarantee that they’ll reserve the space for you from one payment period to the next. But, again, it just depends on the particular contract that you had with the Moby Dick.
Hey, I have a solution depending on how much you make, I am staying at a place called Siegel suites in Las Vegas, these places are through out the country and depending on how much you make might be affordable. Look up apartments with no credit check and no lease. Good luck
I was wrongfully terminated and NC Sate sided with Duke by committing multiple fraud in denying my unemployment benefits… I tried to survive…Now, I got into a car accident, the hospital not only that discharge me without providing the place to recover but have insulted me…. None of attorneys took the case because they do not see a lot of money because I can’t afford to go to doctors to make bills for lawyers to claim …. Finally, an insurance company arranges to fix my car but the rental company ignores the paid rental car because of my status. My car is not fixed, no medical attention and just rotten all around…. I asked churches for help to intervene but I just can’t believe how America is corrupt and deserve the big reform, including churches. I was hit by unlicensed Mexican so their not see much profit….

Need help with housing live near nj can’t help n were I. On disability with lupus n mental healh. N other issue. Please help me
LLB, your situation sounds so familiar to me… I am homeless because I tried to get my best friend’s home back for him, by going up to his property and getting the goods on his real estate agent/broker.(2002) It was a stakeout, and I had to live there with everyone to do this. The agent and his wife used their boss/mentor in cahoots, to forge deeds ,quit-claims, liens, to get his childhood home for nothing, because the poor man did not know his rights as a homeowner. He should have gone to a real estate lawyer, even legal aid, which he WAS eligible for- before signing ANY paperwork. The couple moved into the house, as an “investment” a “win-win” situation. In real estate law, this is known as a RENT-BACK SCHEME. If you haven’t yet done so, please contact the criminal dept. of the California Bureau of Real Estate, and ask to speak to an investigator in the legal enforcement/mortgage fraud division. Contact the Attorney General(state) and all consumer advocate organizations. We too were in CA. And yes, the real estate rats have cops as friends, and most likely, they did land deals for the cops, and obligated them in that way. The cops WILL defend these people. In 2007 I had to flee the area, and it’s hard to even rent a bedroom. So much went on, mostly bad. I’m homeless NOW, because the one bedroom I could afford was owned by a man whose house was in pre- foreclosure and the bank would never cooperate with a loan mod(2009). The man wouldn’t go to a lawyer in time. Indy Mac played him. He lost the house in 2011 while in bankruptcy. CA is a pro creditor state, and courts generally do side with the lender. One friend-of-sorts asked me to help him rent an apartment in Glendale, which was in the rapid-rehousing program there. The program was bogus, not genuine. They would put you in a shelter several months, place you in an apartment you could never afford on your own. If you didn’t find a compatible, stable room mate, you were in danger of the streets again. So we roomed together, and did well, liked by owners and neighbors alike. But then he wanted to go back East to see relatives at Christmas and Thanksgiving in November, so we had to give notice and leave. He liked shelters, and as long as there was TV, he was/is content. We won’t ever rent together again. In 2013 I met a homeless person in town and helped him get ID. and medical coverage, income, mail box, etc. We lived in a motel for $300 a week. Did that for a year, until the owners made tenants move every 28 days, and raised the rooms another$140 a week- so we were out, as before. We made the place cozy, so it hurt to leave, right before Christmas. Until I leave the state, I will be homeless forever. I did report to the Dept of Real Estate all the info, met the investigator in downtown L.A. I have a case number now, and if I want justice, I must testify in person. Until then, I live in the shadows as homeless, but I don’t do drugs or drink. I sleep in hidden places, and clean up where permitted every day. Shelters, by the way, are paid big bucks to warehouse us the homeless, and don’t plan on getting people out of this cycle, because for one, rentals and dwellings have not kept up with all the people who were born, or migrated here since the late 70’s. So we have a permanent housing crunch, keeping rents high. Only THIS year have I seen the L.A. Times and other local papers admit that the TRUE causes of homelessness is the high rents, and corrupt economy, not simply addicts or crazy people-who belong in a hospital, not shelters, jails, or the streets. Guess what Mayor Gil Garcetti wants to waste $100 million in funds to fight homelessness ?? It’s more shelters, as opposed to buying enough apartments, converting old buildings,preventing the demolishing of affordable housing that exists. In a country such as this, homelessness should never be considered normal. If you want to fight those people who robbed you,LLB, I wish you success !! California Real Estate Fraud blogs are also worth looking into. Sadly, what you describe is too common.
They not filed because it involved husband and his wfe and the courts going to side with the female if its seperation or a divorce the courts will say — part goes to wife- they see that as no contest, if a husband has lots of money or land “it all goes to wife” if he die ect. Thats how system is set up. Notary public not really the blame, all they do is check if forms filled out properly address ligit- ect and get very little pay -just to sign there signature and stamp- the documents.
I became homeless when I wouldn’t become corrupted in government contracting. I have been a pro se litigant now for six years, and the cases I’m involved in have escalated because I exposed the corruption.
Now, my blog is frequently visited by the House, Senate, Pentagon, many military domains and law firm sites.
I am on the edge of homelessness again, at any given time, because of my refusal (or stubbornness) to quit the cases. I have been offered enough bribes to have paid for a home.
When I reach the other side of these cases, I hope there is something I can do for the homeless, as they are deeply in my heart.
you are with a heart girl, don’t give up, god is there with you
There is nothing here but the threat of the cold empty space of the great beyond. The impersonal encounters by other so called humans that appear inhumane even unto themselves, the endless misery in the streets, the haunted warmth of violated houses and the threat of a further curse one does not even know why one has to possess. The endless acquiring to feel better about oneself, the indignation of the stripping of another to break his confidence, and the ‘life at all costs’ chant as we sell off the very last of any dignity we may have ever possessed no matter how minute.
The forced selling of one’s body for indoor shelter, the attacks on the workforce that cause early heart problems, the abuse by both men and women in this miserable and unhappy world of existence, the threat, the constant very real threat of homelessness at old age, the forced by society inability to pay bills even if ones intensions ore good, a forced life of degradation no matter how far one looks back on it, wondering how in the world one made it so far in such unconsciousness, now old and remorseful and more that a little disgusted. No wonder one can only pursue happiness and never attain it. No wonder we are in such misery and depressed no matter who we are. You would not trade places with me for nothing and I am not so sure I envy your life either really.
Amen!
I understand your pain and I understand the things you and other’s are haveing to go through in order to eat and for shelter ect…. please please I say it is a test please please I say don’t lose your faith. (james 1;12) says Blessed is the man who endures temptation: for when he has been approved he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to thoses who love Him. God is in control you must keep the Faith or your soul will stay in that unhappy place.
I have a question and a simple one at that. What if God didn’t love you for being different?
Thanx, Jesus loves you…
I am on the streets of Riverside Ca.for some time now. I made a conscious choice before I took this drastic measure but I had no idea, not a clue of what was to come. Prior to my quick descent to the wilderness, my so called life was on a downward spiral to hell. Yes I cant deny that I am a sinner and that I am flawed and imperfect and even worse that Jesus died for my sins. Amazingly Christs love is perfect just like He is and even though I’m damaged from the onset of my existance stemming from abuse and addiction and self sabbotage and auto- prophecy. This is not a pity party this is the actualization of a new creation that is happening as I am typing these words from someone who used to be afraid of living to the extent of being a cutter as well as a people pleaser. I can go on and on about my ” victim” days or bring this story home , no pun given. I wouldn’t change my mind for the world or all the money, success or fame in it.I would do it all over again for having the priveledge to recieve Gods only Begotten Son my Lord and King as my Saviour and only True Friend, Jesus Christ is all that and more and may God Almighty and Heavenly Father bless all those who believe and bless all who are corrupt in Jesus name.
Wow!!! You just described how I feel and think daily. Excellent writing :)
I want you to know God sees all and I want to say I am well pleased that you stood up for the truth.Also keep your faith and God will provide for you like he always has.1 Timothy 6:12 says fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses
I had to run from Southern California due to Domestic Violence I tried it all until everyone around me was in fear. I had to leave the Country I went to Canada I had, had issues of homelessness my whole life even up until the million dollar house I ran from. Here is some advice to the men and women out there. When it gets scary you put your little ones with someone safe and if your in danger you go into a ER and tell them you are suicidal from there they must take up in and then Administration will find you and a place for your children after you come clean with why you came in there and it was to be safe and they know the drill. Because of this women who have been abused cannot get medical insurance back in the day because this was our safety net our way of letting them cool off and us being safe. You can also take your children into certain hospitals and tell them the truth places like St. Josephs. Remember safety in numbers and as much as you want to be with your children you have to put them first if you can put them with someone you should it will help you get back on track faster and get out of any metro areas or cities. If you can be around the beaches its best stay in lit area or ride the bus all night I was put out when I was 13 in LA by the beaches. I married at 21 I got away to Canada at 36 and I am on SSI and doing very well at 46 I have led a difficult life but I never got into trouble or did drugs all of my children are as well as can be expected. I am not sure why I had such a hard road I was a good child and person but its over now and I do know how to stay safe. I have a not so much of a bad case of PTSD anymore I think for once in my life its going to be fine. I think that Police Officers should do more at helping the homeless “yet they have no idea they are only a few paychecks away themselves” Bad things happen to good people but instead of blaming any part of the system or what happened we should take all that energy and exceed them… We are only promised the pursuit of happiness

Shark Girl and Bautista, your stories are incredibly interesting albeit sad. I wish the best of luck to you two.
The lengthy and scholarly pages contained within this website about civil rights and the homeless may be legally accurate, but police interactions with the homeless are far different reality. I have experience working directly with the street homeless as well as years of association with the ACLU. The homeless are among the most vulnerable of our society; they have no power and few personal advocates. The police are often under direction from their mayor’s office, or superiors to make sweeps of known homeless gathering places. In the moments of fear and confusion the homeless victim has little negotiating power with the police; demands for civil rights are treated as ridiculous rantings; “I’ll call my lawyer” only amuses the police who may respond with physical abuse. While the legalities are interesting, they are not the realities. Interactions with police are not opportunities for negotiation on the part of the homeless. Instead, the homeless need to cooperate as a matter of self preservation, forfeiting their civil rights in order to not be further victimized in that situation. Educating both the police and the public as to why people are homeless and encouraging compassion and understanding are more effective strategies than quoting laws and legal cases.
I know its true . On 10/10/2014 police of Cary, NC almost not killed me… I was in my car sitting as he had approached and attacked me with the threats …. Police is not more different than ISIS. The ” Christian” nation as America call herself does not have any consciousness…. If you seek justice, they will send police to kill you… that what the attorney did when I pursued for fraud in unemployment benefits…
I’m also in bad need had a terrible thing that me and my wife just told you your burdens on society and I didn’t deserve to live and I wouldn’t work and I didn’t have a job so I loved everything up and went to some people in Missouri I thought I could trust me they were in on it they killed her over by wife in Missouri and when I came back and they tore my car and I have a bicycle here in Oklahoma and your girl code of law enforcement is trying to run me over because they know I know it is that all that’s just right here and you’re trying to kill me I can reach out to no one and I don’t know w what to do my wife and me what are literally being assessed needing killed by society because they can I don’t know where to turn I need help bad excuse some of the typing I’m a terrible wreck and I’m having a hard time I wish someone would contact me please tell me what I could do thank you
Wow I was homeless I can’t even begin with how much the police abuse us. I am mentally challenged and the put me in a rubber room. No phone calls,shower,clothes,medicine,toilet or toilet paper for 3 days. I waved them down when I saw them stopping someone and told them I need help I was wanted to end my life. It was the most humiliating thing I have ever went through.
Shame on all thos people especially those that are suppose to protect us I This this site is great because it makes you feel less alone I pray most of you all on here are in a better place now tucked into a nice warm 🙏🙏🙏 bed at 76 I am on the verge of being there too God Bless All Of US
Thank you T-Bone.
Homeless Advocate, I agree with you. It breaks my heart to see the homeless out there on the streets and yet I know some of them are there by choice. I also know a person can shut down all hope and just plain give up.
I’ve been there with my cases, and sleeping in my car with not enough gas to keep the car warmed up in the middle of winter. I’ve cried myself to sleep so many nights, and was on the verge of just becoming numb in my mind and my heart.
I was one of the blessed ones. I had a car to call “home”. Had I of been on the streets like others, I don’t know if anyone would have been able to reach me. You just get to the point where you shut down.
I’m working with someone who is bringing attention in Macon, Georgia, the day after Thanksgiving, to the homeless problem here. She’s going to set up temporary shelter on the public street downtown and demonstrate the need for a solution. I’m going to write a story for a newspaper I’m starting, and hoping to do something for our area, on a more permanent basis than our shelters can provide.
There must be a way to reach into the hearts of these people and give them hope, no matter what their state of mind of is.
I agree their is only one way for everyone who can help. show them love by helping them I once had to go through being homeless with 3 children sleeping in cars and sleeping in shelters and moving from one city to the next now I’m about to graduate with my degree with criminal justice and from me being homeless due to domestic violence my driver lic was suspended and the courts is asking me for $6,000 to move on with my life and I don’t have it. I’m a single mom and it’s hard. But I trust in God and he will make a way out of no way.Like he always does so I’m being lead by the holyspirit of truth to a different light in life. In jesus name
I am going threw the same things as you I beleave in god and I trust him but the constant harassment and lack of.funds are so over welming im not in school but I am home less im so tired I just want to give up but for some reason I cant it id a battle feild out here every day is a battle …
I also have 3 kids and homeless moving from state to state trying to keep some sort of roof over there heads. In just currious what you did about schooling for your kids? With having to move around and not having an address to use how can I out them in school and home schools want the same info proof of residency, home address etc. Any help would be appreciated cause I know that we will get in so much trouble for the kid’s being out of school for a long period of time!
According the federal law, as explained by the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, schools have to enroll students immediately, even if the family does not have all of the documentation required by the school district. A lack of a street address should not prevent a kid from being able to attend school. Here are the basic facts from NLCHP http://www.nlchp.org/documents/Education_of_Homeless_Children_and_Youth. If you want a local advocate to help you get your kids accepted by a school, contact your nearest legal aid office. You can find that office just by typing your zip code or city name into this search box provided by the Legal Services Corporation http://www.lsc.gov/what-legal-aid/find-legal-aid
Please contact me so we can put the stories, experiences, and resources… wandhudson@yahoo.com
People lose hope from the tons of dead end referrals, phone numbers that led to more phone numbers and finally a “no” or just no answer, from sarcastic and rude answers, and people who speak to us like criminals just trying to get over on a system many of us do not understand or manage to access, from facing forms some of us cannot begin to understand, which need more forms or paperwork to be attached that we may or may not have, and from constantly asked for an address for everything and any kind of help or a phone number, which can also get sporadic. People give up because it is exhausting, overwhelming and sometimes futile! Quick to tell you what you can’t do, no one is so quick to say what TO DO or why/how things work. We don’t all fit in the mold and if it’s not a quick fix, see ya.
Most people don’t “choose” this. That is a judgement of someone’s choice ie choosing one thing over another. I choose to keep my dog. This keeps me from choosing a shelter. I did NOT however choose to be homeless, I just ran out of other choices. (People who rant about whether homeless should be “allowed” to have pets, are really saying that as you have fewer and fewer resources, you should have fewer and fewer rights, like a person. Can I take their pet away because I think they are rather heartless and lack empathy for others? But that’s another dialog.)
Rules, rules, rules, rules, comply or die. (No zip code=no food box, not in a shelter=no advocate, no advocate=no housing. Basic math.) That’s part of the daily life. That’s a problem for some people, who having lost enough, and can’t give up their few remaining choices to someone else.
Worth reflecting on.
I have a car. But the registration was due last month. Things have just been real bad in all ways. I’m almost 60. Wouldn’t you think I’d have this game beat by now? I am being evicted my court date is less than 2 weeks away. I am applying for jobs. Nothing yet though I’m hopeful. But at this late date I am worried. I live near Houston. Walmart is a place an interview went well. This will sound trivial and does to me too. But my only friend is my dog. Houston is too hot to leave your dog in a car if I am so blessed to get that job or a health care job which is more suited to me, I just hope it cools off here.
I am touched by all of your stories. I googled living in the woods in my area and found you all. I dont have answers yet, but I feel less alone. I’ll be praying for yall tonight, not just me. Keep the faith. Love, Marjorie
I am praying for you too, dear woman.
Thank God life on this earth is short.
Hello I can relate with you one hundred percent.I hope this reaches you in good health and your dog is good too.I live in Baton Rouge,LA.My husband and I are in a one bedroom but we would be willing to help you as long as you are willing to help yourself.I can see you are.I see where you said you had a car.Do you have a CDL class b if so my honey can get you on with him.He drives a dumb truck.
Hello !
I would like to organise kind of this blog in Poland. There is a lot of homeless people here, but the are no good solutions in polish law. Please, help, and contact me ( avicoolaria@wp.pl )
Sqatter’s Right: My landlord ‘walked away’ from the mortgage on the property of the apartment in which i reside with my family. he returned my April 2008 rent check, uncashed. No one has come forward to collet rent or evict me since; can I claim sqatter’s rights to ownership of the property?
pay any unpaid taxes start repairs on the house.switch any utilities into your name contact a lawyer to help.If you don’t have money for a lawyer ask for a referral to someone that will help you proBono.Different states have different rules/rights.I believe no matter what you will still need to be properly evicted by law.Just in case have a back up plan,cause you just never know.City hall where I live has assigned people that by appointment,(meaning signing in)are there to help you keep roof over your head.You have tenant’s rights.There is help out there you just have to find it.It’s ok to ask for help,educate yourself and your family of your rights and exercise them.You don’t want to find out what it is like to go through what alot of people here have or are going through.Its beyond devastating. good luck and Whom ever your higher power is ,Bless you !
I have a question about adverse possession.
I (along with my three dogs, 1 cat) are about to loose our home to forclosure.
I am disabled and receive $950 per month on SS disability.
I found a property in my area (Near Tucson, Az) that has been vacant for about 7 years (the owner inherited it from his deceased father)
I called the owner in RedondoBeach California to ask if he would be willing to sell or rent the property to me. He said ” it is not a good time for me to sell right now”
The house is falling apart, has wood rot, roof issues, lot of broken trees, trash everywhere. It looks likely that there are rats in the house, but I see the potential in this house…I could fix it up.
The owner is paying taxes,but it is obvious that he does not want to care for the property. One odd note is that the owner is paying the gas bill, but not the electric
So, can I legally take possession of the the property? is this considered trespassing in any way or doing anything illegal?
From what I can understand about Adverse Possession, I think I can take possession and wait and see if the owner wants to evict me?
What a sad thing that someone would let a nice house just go to ruin, especially when I could keep it up and it would give me and my rescue pets a home instead of the street.
Any advise on how to proceed would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Suz
Did anyone give you some advice on the adverse possession. I am in the same situation
Call on Jesus and He will give you the anwer that you seek and yes the proof is in the pudding and chin up.
I’ve been homeless for just about a year now. This predicament has seriously delayed my own pro per legal pursuits. ANY resources possibly useful for this can be important. I notice that this blog/site appears to have idled for some time. I also notice that this is typically the case with so many “homeless” oriented things.
I hadn’t been prepared for the local official corruptions and the shocking non-help, even counterproductive influence, of supposed “help” organizations like “Legal Aid” and the county courts “self help program”. The many outfits proclaiming themselves as purposed with “helping the homeless” have turned out to be far more about paying the staff’s rent/mortgages than anything else.
As increasing numbers, and types, of people become displaced and disenfranchised like this, I suspect that true class warfare grows more imminant.
HI I’M LEGALY GOING THROUGH FORCLOSURE AND NEED SOME ADVISE, CAN I FILE FOR SQUATTER’S LAW/ADVERSE POSESSION AND HOW? A DESPERATE WOMEN WHO DOESN’T HAVE ANYWERE TO GO.
BY THE HOMELESS FOR THE HOMELESS blog has added you to their blog list. THANKS! COME VISIT US!

Great job and great idea. This is a nice way to give back to the community. I will start referencing your website throughout mine when I feel it would be appropriate.
Thanks for helping the homeless community!

Hello,
I am homeless out in Sacramento,California.They have this not camping law in the city.The Mayor said back in the summer that there was $1.8 million in stimulus funds for housing the homeless.Then later on he gives out vouchers for the homeless to stay in a motel for a week.Cal Expo shelters was closed when they shut down Tent City.
The Capital of California is a suck hole for the homeless that want Safe Ground. As I see it, they want something for nothing.I would rather live in a house than a tent.Most of the homeless here get harassed by the police about sleeping on the sidewalks or even sitting on the sidewalks.
The court specifically ruled that the city of Los Angeles could not roust derelicts off the streets unless the taxpayers had previously provided a cozy shelter for every conceivable vagrant that drifts in. In other words, the taxpayers must provide shelter or the homeless have the right, per the Constitution, to involuntarily sit, lie and sleep anywhere they damn well please on city sidewalks.
Joseph speaks the truth. I got laid off and developed an all over rash erytherma multiformae minor don’t google it if you’re queasy. The nearby doctor I went to for follow up said since I was single, alone that they would schedule me for a breast biopsy and a uterine biospy and would give me 2 weeks to get my affairs in order but I would not be waking up from one of them. And thanks for being an organ donor. I rescinded my organ donor status, reported him but he still practices.
The first thing this office did was ask me what kind of pain pills I wanted. I wanted to make sure if this erytherma multiformae minor was preventable and what to do to get better
I did not keep any further appts. Went to a church friends doctor, where they prescribed me medicine meant to regulate periods and I was post menopausal.This was so they could report me as nonstop bleeding. At the pharmasist’s unofficial recommendation. I did not refill but bled for three months straight.
It finally stopped, I did not report this doctor because it does no good. The reports go no where, apparently.
I can’t get anyone to believe me, officially or unofficially. Eyes glaze over.
Is it legal for homeless shelters to make residents homeless simply because they have a personal issue with that person and not from anything they had done to other residents nor themselves? My friend lives in a Georigia shelter and is now back on the street. She had complied to all the requirements and is devistated the director had a personal vendetta. Thank you for any assistance.
I would not hold my breath on legal assistance from anyone over being expelled from a homeless shelter over a personality conflict. I have stayed in a shelter, but it was run by a friend. I knew people who stayed in decent shelters run by Christian organizations, as well. They showed me how sometimes a dishonest person could con the staff and do, or cause things like you describe. Because they have the honest people fooled these honest people are convinced that the scammers and con artists who have been placed in limited authority are on the level and fair.
As regards the director, it is rather like accusing a police officer; the courts (assuming they will hear your case at all) assume the person in authority is more reliable than the homeless person. I am truly sorry for your friend.
You are depraved.
That was a really great post. I noticed a guy replying to you who said something totally out of line. One thing was odd, I’m new but usually I thought everyone had a reply button beneath their post, but the rude person did not. My original post in 2016 is a 2 or 3 up. Not any different than anyone else’s.Godspeed to you all
She had complied to all the requirements and is devistated the director had a personal vendetta. Thank you for any assistance.Great job and great idea. This is a nice way to give back to the community. I will start referencing your website throughout mine when I feel it would be appropriate.

Great idea – if any of you guys are able to help our event to help homeless women and kids in Australia, we would be eternally grateful. Our link is above
My relevant legal experiences with homeless life has been from one state of affairs to another beginning with being assigned into a shelter system where clients and staff may have had relations outside the scope of staff and client, my own experience was sexual harassment from a male staff working within the female shelter and who would upon reporting to work would personally search for me or come to my room and insist on me taking a shower while he was on duty whether or not I had just completed one before his arrival, he would state that he had not witnessed me doing so; when this was reported to anyone who would listen was removed from services.
I then contacted legal services in Pennsylvania and I was later informed by a legal attorney “that maybe I should have kept my mouth shut and I would still have a place in the shelter system,” this was also reported to their executive staff who backup their lawyer and dropped my case; another state of affairs was receiving services at the ARCH in Texas, for the first few years things was pretty good until I invested benefits given from an award of denied services into a franchise the ARCH began to view my mail as being in conflict with their policy regarding client receiving mail at either their location or their post office box for which both had been provided to me for my mail to be delivered without any statement as to whether the mail being personal or of any business nature, as the executive informed other and myself that my business was a scam, fraudulent and not a legal business at such time all my mail was returned to senders and I was served with a notice by the executive staff and a sergeant of APD not to use their services or to return to the premises or I would be arrested for trespassing.
I had also lost my housing due the ARCH policy to provide clients mail in a timely manner, due to housing authority giving me several times to amend the lateness of my responses I had attempted to have numerous meeting with the ARCH staff to improve their response and accountability for clients mail by suggesting that they provide a log for any client who pick up mail from their location that would have the client’s signature, date of pickup maybe the amount of mail or sender’s name like housing or some kind of documentation of mail delivery and pick up that would provide proof for the clients and security for the ARCH, this was places by documentation system for the ARCH that only placed the person on a list for mail, it fail to show the habit of the client pickup or the proof that the client did get such mail and after I had lost my housing and the Arch was informed they added a housing list for clients with mail from housing and when a very intimate friend also lost his housing and the ARCH was informed the Arch typed a letter to the housing authority explaining the events that cause my friend to lose his housing with contact and sympathy.
Back in 1980s I became homeless with my three children, back then the system was very supportive and helpful, that took me out on housing visits to pick my new home for not only for me but for my three children, the home I decided on to raise my children, I lived there from 1990 thru 1998, when my landlord was report for harassment, it did not matter the I lived in this home all these years without incidents my rent was paid every month by case workers, I became homeless again because my landlord went outside the jurisdiction of my resident and convinced a judge to evict me from my home of eight years without a lawyer, notice or hearing with me my homelessness continued from 1998 through 2007.
I am disappointed to not be able to provide or add links to resources that would be helpful to other readers who are interested in homeless people’s legal issues, but due to my lack of addiction of any kind the homeless services or system has not been of much help or support. I intend one day to write a documentation of such events with names and location for a system profiting on addiction and homelessness and not the circumstance of homelessness.
Great job and great idea. This is a nice way to give back to the community. Is it legal for homeless shelters to make residents homeless simply because they have a personal issue with that person and not from anything they had done to other residents nor themselves? Thank you for any assistance.Realy it’s a Great job and great idea.
I live in San Francisco, I have befriended a homeless guy with a cat, they both live in the Transbay Terminal, her in SF, this building is going to be raised and there is no where for this man and all the others who have call this building home for years, Some have been in this building for over ten years. I recently talked with a lawyer friend and was told that the homeless have no rights to this building as squaters, I had hoped that the mear fact that they have been there for so long ,that they might some some legal president, but no,than I thought of getting an injuction to stop the tearing down the building until these foks could be placed in a home of some kind, but just like all other places, the money talks louder than the need for houseing for the poor, helpless.
How can I help these people fight to get in to a better situation, this building is going soon and we have yet to help these people.

i was kicked out of college because i am homeless. i tried to find lawters and other people to help me and no one will. anybody got any resources for this in texas call me at 817-879-2802
It is also interesting to note that in Portland, the police are using “disorderly conduct” charges to arrest people who are part of the Occupy Portland protests. In some cases, they seem to be using the laws used to remove homeless individuals from the areas set aside for the Occupy movement. Between October 6 and October 20th of 2011, 11 individuals were arrested for disorderly conduct alone.
I was wondering if a homeless person if living in a van, is it possible to purchase car insurance without an address so that there are no issues with cops?
State auto insurance laws do require you to carry some sort of coverage on your automobile and you generally do have to prove that you are eligible to be insured in that state by providing the insurance company with documentation of your living in and, if applicable, owning a vehicle in that state. In other words, insurance companies expect that the address you list on your policy application will match the address on your automobile registation and driver’s license, both of which require you to notify state authorities when you change addresses. Also, because the insurance company has legal status as your agent in matters connected with that policy it does need to know where and how to contact you.
To obtain a driver’s license you have to show that you truly are the person you claim to be. The federal REAL ID Act requires states to cross check other identification sources when issuing driver’s licenses. A summary of that federal law is available from the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty at http://www.nlchp.org/content/pubs/REAL_ID_Fact_Sheet_20083.pdf. The Department of Homeland Security has the official rule at http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/08-140.htm. Each state has the flexibility to design its drivers license identification law in ways that accommodate the homeless and long distance truck drivers and others who do not reside in a fixed location. Some states, for example, accept ID verification letters from homeless service providers. The most efficient way to find your state’s current identification rule is to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles. http://www.dmv-department-of-motor-vehicles.com/ You should be able to use e-mail to contact your DMV and simply ask what documentation they want you to bring. If you can’t get satisfaction from the DMV, get in touch with your local homeless service provider and ask that agency to help you get an address exception to obtain a driver’s license. http://www.nationalhomeless.org/directories/index.html
If your state driver’s license ID law does not yet have a way for you to obtain a license (and, secondarily, insurance), you can contact your state legislature and petition to have the law amended. The National Conference of State Legislatures has lots of REAL ID material for state legislators to read http://www.ncsl.org/Default.aspx?TabID=756&tabs=951,72,110#110 because state lawmakers have been developing these new identification laws for a couple of years.

Ms. Tashbrook:
I am researching an article for LJ about the homeless and libraries. The idea is that the library can do positive things to help the homeless and not all homeless are nuisances as commonly stereotyped. For that reason, I wondered if you knew of interesting programs in PA, the midwest, or northeast, that would deal more with families or adults and might address the needs of the homeless in rural and suburban areas.
My phone number is 202-232-9113 and my e-mail address is steve_lilienthal@yahoo.com
Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
Hi steve my name is peggy sue,I am homeless,using library to stay warmm Im 49yrs old my life and stories of the road are for a book to help others thepros and cons of the steets bars low housing places abandoned buildings,hitchhiking…I have exspierienced,hell,and priceless times and places,i,m sitiing here hungry and wet from the rain looking up places to help me with food and a coat,mines to thin..I just got doignoied with lung cancer,and I,m very lonely,just lost mother last year,,hope to talk with you some day,but if you have any pen pals,i sure would like acristmas card from someone..my number is 412-230-0065 I,m using a friends e_mail right now..I,ll have my own in a couple of days
I’m concerned that homeless people don’t take bathes yet there are places to take them. There isn’t anything enjoyable about a person who stays homeless by making excuses and not bathing.
You obviously have never been homeless. There are any number of communities that don’t have showers for the homeless. Sometimes they are too far away. You have obviously never really been destitute. Liberal states are the worst for homeless people because liberals only care about themselves when it comes down to brass tacks, and don’t want to be offended by the people they claim to care about. Conservatives view homelessness as a serious issue and are concerned for the homeless people.
You obviously have no clue as to what you are talking about, there are not adequate places for homeless people to just go and take a bath let alone go and just warm up. Until you live through it first hand please do not open your mouth as to what you think or believe. It truly amazes me with the things that I read, see, hear and live each and everyday.
Very nice article, I will constantly visit here to see what suggestions are posted for the homeless and guide others as well to this blog.
thanks
Thanks for providing help to homeless people, there are not a lot of blogs that are doing this great job. I appreciate your efforts and would contribute if required.
I had a squatter on my land He had me arrested It was 4mos till court looked @my deed but gave him 1/3 of MY land Finally he had to move In retaliation had me arrested again Court gave him power to keep me off my land I’m now 54yro & homeless due to his lies 18Xs same judge I lost all Went from paid off to nothing Do I have retaliation against judge? He put restrain order on me I tried to dissolve it Is it usual for me to go 1st & defend myself w/o knowing what I’m defending? I hv papers go back 3yrs of 3 ppl trying to evict him
Thank you Great post ! I am on the edge of homelessness again, at any given time, because of my refusal (or stubbornness) to quit the cases.
I am a 53 yr old woman who is homeless in southern cal. living in her car. Where I live, the city has a municipal code that states you can’t live in your vehicle. It seems to me that is a law that is for homeless. Right along with fining people for feeding us, and you can’t be here or you can’t be there.
Anyway, my first ticket given was a notice to appear. I appeared, and plead “not guilty”. The fine for this “living in vehicle” ticket is $465. At the “trial” it was dismissed. either the cop didn’t show, or the Judge figured it was stupid??
2 days later, a really rude cop came at about 2:30am at the “spot” I have been staying at off and on since February and gave me another ticket for the same thing. I told him about the dismissal, but he said “so, here is another one”. But, this time it is a parking citation. And the fine is only $116? So, now I can’t go to my spot.. A parking structure that is not used at night, a little warmer, and definately a drier place to “stay”. I always clean up after myself before I leave, etc. It’s been an ok place for 8 months?
I moved, and, that same rude cop gave me another ticket for the same thing and told me to leave town…??
I’m not sure what to do. I am going to contest them, but don’t know what will happen.. This cop is going to keep giving me tickets every time he sees me?? That’s rediculous..isn’t it?
typical homeless dilemma.
from Sue a 99 weeker;
53 and homeless in southern cal
Come to AZ! The cops here seem pretty friendly to the homeless.
Unless you are in a town where they are not. It is good if you are going, or thinking of going to a Town to check the internet. Most towns have resources, like libraries, work search, and community centers and most of those offer internet. Phoenix is listed as one of the worst places in the country to be homeless. Just saying.
I live in a shelter in santa barbara, cali with my 3 year old daughter and share a room with 2 other single moms. My things were ransacked and gone through while I was gone from their shelter per their policy. Do I have any privacy rights? Can I sue??
I am a homeless advocate in Washington, DC. I was recently the subject of a massive media frenzy due to my use of social media to advocate for the homeless.
A friend named Laura Russello who works for the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless (WLCH) just started a blog. She is trying to connect with others who serve the homeless and to bring traffic to the site. Feel free to check out the blog at http://washingtonlegalclinic.wordpress.com/ There may be room to collaborate in the area of legal services for the homeless and/or using social media to publicize your cause.
If I can help you or someone you know in any way, just let me know. It costs you nothing to send me an email. I’m showing a different side of homelessness while living in my car in Los Angeles. http://doingithomeless.com/today-marks-6-months-being-homeless/
Is it legal for homeless shelters to conduct room searches and order a person to submit to drug testing more than one time in a week?
This happened to a friend at a transitional shelter in Texas. He was doing well and was in an advanced phase and looking forward to getting a job. Now he’s banned because he refused a drug test. I don’t blame him one bit.
I am on the verge of homelessness in PA. I moved here to get married. Obviously that didn’t work out. My name is on the least to the apt we have together but he’s threatening to kick me out. I know he can’t do it easily or quickly so hopefully I have a little time to figure something out. If anyone knows my legal rights and can help me out I’d appreciate it. I’m seriously considering living in my car because being here with him isn’t safe I don’t think, but if I do that I don’t know my legal rights or if it is even legal to live in my car here.
Thanks so much.
Christine
I can understand your worries about being kicked out of the apartment. Since you are named on the lease, you are worried about whether you would be responsible for paying the landlord if your ex-boyfriend abandons or trashes the place after you move out. To find out how to remove yourself from the lease obligations, first contact the landlord and ask for instructions. If that doesn’t work out, click on the “legal aid providers” link at http://www.palawhelp.org and get in touch with your local legal aid office to ask if they can help you get out of the lease.
Since you are on the verge of homelessness, you are worried about finding affordable housing. Here is a link to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency which has several helpful tools for renters including a database that helps you locate affordable apartments with the characteristics you seek and in the community you want. http://www.phfa.org/consumers/renters/default.aspx
Just a cautionary footnote: I was living with my wife in a house owned by her, and legally I could not be summarily ejected without a court order because we’d been living together there for years. There had been no domestic violence or other cause for a legal order against me.
Regardless, I was locked out one day without warning and the police not only refused to become involved, they also refused me permission to re-enter the home accompanied by them, to remove my own property. They aren’t supposed to do this but in real life, they please themselves — don’t expect the law to protect you.
My wife showed them the deeds to the house, with her name on them. They told me that this gave her the right to throw anyone out without warning if she wanted. This is untrue. But the police can do and say what they like in these situations unless criminal law is being broken, which it wasn’t.
My wife then promised the police that she would, herself, allow me to enter the home later on. She told the police, honestly, that there had been no domestic violence. She then immediately took out an injunction against me claiming domestic violence and preventing me from entering the house.
I was later told that all lawyers will go for a domestic violence injunction based on whatever stories the defendant makes up, because it’s one of the few court documents that is free. Judges grant the orders regardless of evidence, just to be on the safe side, so don’t expect the chance to defend yourself against this.
I have been homeless ever since and for 18 months now, and am surviving. It can be done, and can be much better than the situation you’ve just come out of. Just beware of trusting the law, especially if your partner is slick and convincing. It may come down to the court protecting whomever makes the claim of domestic violence first, regardless of the facts.
I am doing a huge report on homeless in America and how I believe drug tests should be required at the shelters in America, is there any information you can give me about laws regarding this or any fun facts about rules with drugs in shelters?
When asserting that one segment of the population should be singled out for drug testing, you need to be familiar with statistics from the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Department of Justice http://www.justice.gov/dea/statistics.html in order to substantiate your hypothesis. You might also want to read about the DEA’s major operations to ascertain whether there is evidence that the homeless population has been significantly involved in illegal drug-related activities. http://www.justice.gov/dea/major/major.htm
Here is the Controlled Substances Act http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/21cfr/21usc/index.html which tells why and when possession and distribution of certain drugs can be illegal.
Testing for drugs is a form of search and seizure typically conducted as a form of law enforcement. So, to understand the reasons for and scope of that authority, you need to read the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and some of the decisions from court cases interpreting that Amendment. At Justia.com, you can see the full-text of the Amendment http://supreme.justia.com/constitution/amendment-04/01-search-and-seizure.html and then you can see summary explanations of how parts of the Amendment have been interpreted in various contexts. http://supreme.justia.com/constitution/amendment-04/index.html Here, for example, is the summary content about drug testing. http://supreme.justia.com/constitution/amendment-04/24-drug-testing.html
The American Civil Liberties Union fights against abuses of civil rights, such as those protected by the Fourth Amendment. A convenient way to find out about cases questioning whether various types of drug testing violate the Fourth Amendment is to use the phrase “drug testing” in the search box at the ACLU website. http://www.aclu.org/ Here, for example is a report, with links to the underlying court documents, about a court overruling a University’s policy of requiring all incoming students to be tested for illegal drug use. http://www.aclu.org/blog/criminal-law-reform/judge-temporarily-halts-colleges-unlawful-drug-testing-program
Since your paper is “huge” you might want to go beyond reading and investigate your hypothesis by interviewing homeless service providers and police in your community.
Drug test and then what? What good would it serve to put a drug addict on the streets and go hungry? That is what these places are for, it is the end of the road for most. Have some sympathy, do not judge, there must be other issues you can take up?
I agree with the previous post. Obviously barney youve never been or have never known anyone with drug issues. They arent all bad people. They have issues and need help. I know by experience.. It just seemed out of control and too much to handle. If you only have a few bucks in your pocket of fifty or sixty bucks they arent gonna make a difference in tomorrow so you try to escape today. Wrong? Absolutely. Nevertheless, you have it all backwards. Help with shelter,hope and direction THEN rehabilitation of the drugs. Not the other way around. With all do respect, i sence you personally have never dealt with disfunctional homelife or personal addictions. I truly suggest if you want to help homeless people you.educate yourself on a mucj closer level than from statistics on paper from your office.

I am homeless and living in my car since yesterday. I am 55 years old and in the past three years since the company I worked for closed, I have only been able to find a few occasional temp jobs.
I am worried that the authorities may arrest me or take away my cat, who I love dearly. I am in the So Cal desert, near Palm Desert. Please can someone tell me what the laws are regarding my situation?
I am currently living in my car. Where can I safely park at night to sleep? I’ve been parking at the 24 hour walmart or at hotel parking lots, and so far have not had a problem, but I’m worried that I could be arrested or something.
Your concern about being accused of trespassing on private property makes sense. If you parked on a public street, though in many cities it is increasingly hard to find one without meters or permit requirements, at least you wouldn’t have to worry about being on private property. I hope that readers of this blog have sent you private replies with good suggestions about making arrangements with owners or managers of private lots.
Hello Ms. Linda Tashbook Esq I am not homeless I pray for all homeless people and hope are country helps them .

Here are two sources to help you find personal injury lawyers, all of whom work on a contingency fee basis: Martindale.com and Findlaw.com. Both have lawyer search forms on the front page and both will give you a good array of facts about each lawyer. You will probably want to talk with several lawyers before you decide which one to hire.
Actually, I am now interested after I read this article. Most importantly, the legislatively passed laws and policies to all property owners to help the homeless. Good details!

I herd that there is or used to be a squatter rights law that indicates that a squatter who takes up residency in an abandon building for over a year and can give proof, say showing dated mail for that time period sent to that addres, then they can claim squatter rights and legally take ownersip of that residency. Is that true ? If so in what cities and is san jose one of them?

I was wondering if it’s legal for a case manager to force you to ether sell your property or for him to force you to give your property to him to hold on to as a punishment for something you did that they didn’t want you to do.
I was told to sell everything because anything you can’t win a fight for in a shelter will be taken from you, by force and you will likely be mugged for handing it over and being “soft”.
Upon further conversation, they said I was not the typical client and they would not guarantee my safety and as a domestic violence victim, I would be made to sign papers that I volunteered for and know the risks.
Every roommate situation I have encountered has been “you willingly walked in this door. Now we can do whatever we want. You are paying us money to steal whatever you bring to the table.”
My church referred me to local 211 services. They say they don’t really know me. Fairweather friends at best.

Please let me know. Ndevinn24@gmail.com
No, you could’ve moved anywhere besides your violent when not medicated bf and his so called sane but violent mother.
Don’t think I am not sympathetic. I speak from experience.
Thanks for sharing this precious information . I really appropriate it.
You may find “it easy to sell my van in an auction site or a specialist van site”. You have to just do one thing estimate the price of your van. The only difficulty is that people may want to come, see the van and wish for a test drive.

DALLAS LIFE- can someone please look into this place! Its awful and exploits the homeless.
Kaylee, all the shelters in Dallas are exploiting the homeless. You can help by bringing attention to it to the public. The sad truth is, as a homeless person one has pretty much no rights!
Hi I’m 21 and I am married. I got kicked out of my parents place. I have no job, car, way to get around and I am stuck …being so young I don’t know how t do anything.

WHAT NEXT? please email some advice to me at stun0@ymail.com
Hi! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok. I’m
undoubtedly enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.
Thank you for this great blog! I was homeless and know how hard society makes it for people that have no place to go to. Later I worked for a private homeless shelter in Dallas, TX and things are just as bad in the shelters I have seen, be it they are public or private.
RI is a victory, a beginning and I hope it will continue.
Again, thank you for looking out for the ones that need help!
I recently started staying at a shelter in GA. I have started working and they are setting me up with a transitional home. This particular home requires that they be allowed to open a bank account for me and recieve my paycheck (both to take their cut and restrict my access to the money) Is that legal? I assume they require that I sign a power of attorney over to them in order to even be able to do this with the bank.
I am intrigued by your inquiry, particularly the part about limiting the way you choose to spend your money. Since you have a job, it would seem that you can choose not to accept the transitional housing arranged by the shelter and instead find your own housing arrangements or ask the shelter to help you find something other than this particular transitional housing facility. On the other hand, there may be something about your particular circumstances that makes it necessary for you to participate in this transitional situation. While it is generally true that you can agree to and be bound by just about anything in a contract, it is also generally true that you can modify a form contract by scratching out the parts you disagree with and noting that you do not agree to abide by those terms.
I think you need to talk to Amy Sawyer amy.sawyer@usich.gov who is Georgia’s liaison with the federal Interagency Council on Homelessness. She will know if the program’s government funding is connected with this shared bank account scheme. If she isn’t helpful, get in touch with John Bassett john.bassett@dca.ga.gov at the Georgia Department of Community Affairs because he heads Georgia’s Council on Homelessness, and ask him if the shared bank account requirement is a) legitimate and b) mandatory. If this transitional home is run by a private organization, and not by a government office, you might also present your inquiry to the State Attorney General http://consumer.georgia.gov/consumer-services/filing-a-complaint. This kind of thing isn’t a standard consumer complaint, but if the housing entity is in the business of renting living quarters then it probably has to answer to the AG.

I’m good friends with a successful tampa dui lawyer . Though it’s not his specialty, I recently spoke to him about my sentiments that the homeless are overlooked and do not receive the attention they deserve from both the judicial system and police officers on the streets (local law enforcement).
OK I know this is way you late but since you talked to him about it…and…now what I mean your answer was very Sure and unsure of soo what was the conclusion?
hello,
my name is joshua and im messaging you for advice on where to turn for youth and young adults being exploited for profit under a “non-profit” organization. i live in a shelter in los angeles where the managers and directors allow people to tour the facility and donate to help out the youth program and other parts of the building- but the youth shelter remains the same the people who give the tours also lie, exaggerate and stretch the truth so much, its immoral. there are holes in the walls, there is mold growing in places, and the food (which is advertised to be nutritional and healthy to the donators) is making clients sick. the manager who runs the program is a sarcastic and racist individual who speaks to the clients with very little respect, forces his opinions and does and says things that im pretty sure are considered mentally abusive. he has also made inappropriate dances at clients and has touched them before (not sexually but its against the rules regardless) ive tried to go to his boss about the issue but when i did i found it even harder to live in the shelter, the rules were enforced harder on me, my curfew extension was delayed for half a year, and ive been lied to about numerous things just so i missed out on opportunities. he also neglects the fact that he has a responsibility for the safety of the clients, and turns a blind eye after someone is beat up or harassed in the shelter.
im not sure what to do. i dont know where i can go to get help, and i know its my choice to stay here, but theres gotta be something i can do so that other kids dont have to put up with this in the future. its not right, and the list of bad stuff goes on and on, but thank you so much for your time and consideration.
You can report a shelter’s problems to the government agencies that regulate those issues. Mold is a health problem. Report it to the health department. If possible, include evidence such as photos or stories of residents whose allergies have been affected by the mold. Food poisoning is also a health department issue. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/international/relres.html Fraud, like lying to potential donors and inspectors, can be reported to your state attorney general.http://www.naag.org/current-attorneys-general.php. You might also want to contact a local investigative reporter. A positive way to deal with these issues might be to pitch-in. Offer to clean the mold with bleach if the shelter will provide you with the bleach. Offer to speak at churches, on behalf of the shelter, and let those congregations know that the shelter always welcomes qualified help with meal preparations. You can think of similar positive ways to improve conditions where you live.
I live in ca I cancelled my insurance because due to my situation I qualified for low income
State insurance, after being approved I found
Out 2 years ago my daughter had an accident
In my car and there was a small amount of physical and personal liability paid out.
The state cancelled me even though I wasn’t
The one in the accident , my old insurer knows I only have a p o box I’ve been staying everywhere until I go to court against my ex
Who I has been my support for 30 years, I’m trying to get a spousal support increase due to the fact I’m disabled but do not qualify for any government help because of the small
Amount of support I get-he does make a lot of money but I can’t get representation so I’m going in pro per- got any suggestions?
Spousal support in California is allocated according to several criteria. http://www.cadivorce.com/california-divorce-guide/spousal-support/how-spousal-support-is-decided-in-california/ If something has changed since the support amount was established in a divorce, the court will look at the changed circumstances in deciding whether to change the amount of the support payment. Here is a page telling about that. http://www.jdfinder.com/blog_dtls.php?bid=California_Spousal_Support_Modification.
Are you saying that you are no longer eligible for the state’s low cost health insurance program because of that past claim? Are you also saying that even with your current amount of spousal support you can’t afford housing or is there some other reason that you “have been staying everywhere?” If your spousal support is so low that you cannot afford any housing or car insurance, you should see if you are eligible for General Assistance or General Relief or some other help through the California Department of Social Services. http://www.cwda.org/links/chsa.php Even if you are not available for financial help from that agency, the caseworker can refer you to agencies that can help you find housing and medical support services to deal with your disability. You might alternatively want to make an appointment with a social worker in a private agency such as Catholic Charities of California http://www.catholiccharitiesca.org/contactus.asp or Jewish Familiy and Children’s Services http://www.ajfca.org/find-a-service-near-you. If you have not yet investigated the possibility of getting SSI on the basis of your disability, you can read about it and apply for it online. http://www.ssa.gov/pgm/disability.htm
I entered the n.y.c shelter system on sep 19 2012 for the second time in four years i became homeless with my tree boys because there is no money for the program i had work advantage and now they keep finding us not eligbable for houseing like once a week they want a two year history of were we live i gave my lease and marshall notice what more could they want from me i dont wanna be here and the city is paying 4.264 .42 a month for us here why not pay my rent in an apartment it would be cheaper i dont know what to do to get out no one helps u heere omg
Being homeless with my dog changed my life forever. I started a non-profit for the homeless and their pets. A grassroots organization, based on solution. I know the deal without a doubt.
where are you located? I’m about to be homeless with my cat…I’m waiting for disability insurance, and it could take up to two years…I need help…thanks…
Hello, i live in california where medical marijuana is pretty well accepted. I am homeless, though employed. My girlfriend & I got a car ride from someone we never met before, we were essentially hitch-hiking. He was pulled over for speeding. The police searched the car, took ALL our stuff out of the vehicle, and found marijuana. he also found a gun that the driver claimed, and a small amount of meth on another passenger. I went to jail only on marijuana charges, but because we have a medical marijuana cards they are about to drop the charges.
However, we told the police at the time of our arrest that we didn’t know the other folks (and they looked in our phones to verify this) — and because of this we wanted/begged/pleaded for all of our backpacks/sleeping bags/ipod/videocamera/cookware/food/etc/etc to come with us to jail — because we didn’t know these people, all of our stuff should not be put back in someones vehicle that we only met 4 hours prior — but it should rightly come with us.
One officer let me have my backpack, but then another took it away and threw this and everything else (!) of ours back in this guys vehicle. long story short, i’m out of jail and the charges are about to be dismissed against me and my girlfriend– but the driver bailed out of jail, got his car out of impound, and never showed back up for court – essentially running off with about $2000 worth of our possessions still inside his vehicle!!! Who is responsible? Anybody? The Police? The driver of the vehicle that didn’t show back up?
We wont be found guilty on any charges — we were following all laws and have proven we had only met these folks when they picked us up along the side of the road. I don’t have anything anymore! All the essentials in life have been taken from me — what i feel ought to be inalienable rights! my food, my clothing, my shelter, my money — all the essentials of living — everything has been taken from me! what the heck can i do?? What are my rights?? I heard the Homeless Act of 1994 might have something to say about this . . .
thank you very much!
Well, since you know the identity of the driver and he has absconded with your possessions, why not file a police report asking that he be charged with theft?
I need some help. We are homeowners that invited a homeless female (42 y.o.) veteran into our home, in May 2012. She was scheduled to start school, receive benefits and food stamps. She started school, received FAFSA, and then, dropped out. Her food stamps were stopped once she began school. She used her FAFSA money to partly pay for school, and we paid the remaining amount for her schooling. We have spent over $2500 for her needs, not including housing and feeding her and her pets.
My question is….we would like for her to move out of our home. On January 1, 2013, I will be asking her to find gainful employment (not an easy task in Las Vegas) and to be financially on her way to being on her own, by May 1, 2013. She doesn’t pay rent or contribute to the household financially. Does she have any rights to stay? Do I need to put in writing that I’m asking her to vacate our home? Do I need to give her 30, 60, 90 days notice??
Any advice would be appreciated.
Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources
back to your site? My website is in the exact same niche as yours and my users would really benefit from a lot of the information you
present here. Please let me know if this okay with you.
Thank you!
I work directly with youth homeless, it’s appalling that in the 21st we have this situation and believe me it’s getting worse. However, the staff who work within this area are subjected to abuse on a daily basis unsupported by the organisations they work for under the cover of “we have to be seen to be doing our jobs so we get our funding”. This results in under staffed under trained under valued and totally under appreciated people trying their very best to a good job. They are “led” by those who have no principle based work ethic and end up with staff on sick because of work related stress. The people who do these jobs do so because it has a value to them a value that those behind desks will never understand and mostly refuse to understand. This now leaves a situation where the best people for the jobs to give genuine hearfelt support are either on sick leave or refuse to do the jobs anymore.
Hello, I am from San Francisco and a group from my church is interested in making and handing out sandwiches to homeless people in the Tenderloin district. I want to know if this is legal? I heard that you need a license to give food out, but I can’t find any information about it anywhere. Is there a place I should contact about this? Please reply at your earliest convenience.
You could try contacting San Francisco’s Local Homeless Coordinating Board http://www.sfgov3.org/index.aspx?page=1888 to ask if they know of such a permit requirement. I would guess that it is either required by the Health Department http://www.sfdph.org/dph/ourprograms.asp or described in the municipal code http://www.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll?f=templates&fn=default.htm&vid=amlegal:sanfrancisco_ca.
I lost lost my house via a deed in lieu of foreclosure. So now I have no physical address just a po box.
PennDot insists I have to have a physical address along with my PO box so I can keep my drivers license and registration they say to use that of a friend even though I don’t live there.
I live in my van and work less then fulltime so I as of yet have found affordable housing.
What is the law regarding the need for a physical address to maintain my drivers license.
Thanks
They seem to have changed things.
Police officer told me that if my residence on my drivers license is not correct, regardless of having a correct po box, that they can issue a citation for not having the correct info on any documents, car insurance and registration too.
Here is a plain English list of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s ID requirements for getting a driver’s license. http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/fact_sheets/pub195us.pdf The bottom note contains instructions for people who reside with someone else but are not named on the deed or utility bills.
Thanks for the response but still no answer for me.
I stay in my vehicle I have no place else to live. So I have no access to any other person who will permit me to use their address.
I have called penn dot several times they say they will get back to me in two days and I never hear from them.
The police lie all the time, if you have a library card go look up the state law yourself. Find a state site that displays the law, not a law firm’s opinion. If the law is not what he says it is get his car number and make a note of the time (more or less) and go file a complaint, bring a printed copy of the law when you do. Look for homeless advocates the same way on line.
I endured the lifestyle of homelessness in Portland, Oregon. It was tough, but i managed to get back on my feet after being homeless for 2 year out there. I am actually writing a research paper on the topic for my college English class and need an opposing side as to why taxpayers wouldn’t want to support the homeless through the services provided. I would love to know some reasons from opposing views. I, myself would love to give back to the community that helped me get back on my feet, but I need to know why some people wouldn’t. Thank you in advance for the help.
In a nutshell people don’t want taxpayer money to go to homeless programs because of exploitation. Your success is the exception not the norm.
Not sure if anyone can help but wonder if it is legal to have no staff on site at night on weekends no staff until 12 or 1 a clock. And no phone avaible either.u buy food and it locked up and can not get to it. Being put out on the street with babies for non volient rules in the middle of the night. Telling there donors they offer programes and do not charge. But to the clients theres no programes and they charge 250.. A month. This shelter is in texas and i live there now wondering if there is some kind of help.

Can the cops kicks out of a squat after 30 days of receiving mail there?
I have a question regarding drug testing shelter residents. What are the legalities; negative of drug testing residents? Is their a law(s) that cover this? Please assist. Cathryn
Privately operated shelters are generally allowed to limit their populations in ways that might surprise you: They can allow people of just one gender to stay there. They can exclude children. They can exclude drug users. If the shelter is committed to keeping out drug users, then it has to be fair and legitimate in figuring out who is using drugs. The most reliable way to be sure that the shelter does not have any drug users is to conduct scientific testing.
If the shelter is testing for drug use just to prevent drug crimes from happening then, depending on whether and how the shelter is connected with the government, it may be violating the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment which requires a probable cause to believe that a particular person has committed a certain crime and a warrant issued by a judge in order to search for evidence connected with the crime. http://law.justia.com/constitution/us/amendment-04/07-probable-cause.html To simply guess that people coming into a homeless shelter might be drug users would not, without other proof, justify a drug test.
If the shelter is targeting certain individuals or groups for drug testing, then those individuals or groups may have a legal claim of discrimination.
Even if the shelter is testing everyone or else is doing random drug testing that doesn’t target individuals or groups, the drug tests might be seen as invasions of privacy. The ACLU takes a strong stand on this and has won court cases by proving that the entities testing for drug use did not have reasons that outweighed people’s right to have the chemical content of their urine kept private. http://www.aclu.org/criminal-law-reform/drug-testing Contact your local ACLU office if you want them to consider suing a shelter for its drug testing practices. http://www.aclu.org/affiliates
In most states, if there is any drug testing law at all, it is about when and how employers can test workers for drug use. You can peruse those state laws via Nolo Press at http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/employee-rights-book/chapter5-3.html Even though employers and shelters have separate specific reasons for conducting drug tests, the reasons are probably connected with safety in both settings. So, if you have to argue against a drug testing policy you might want to first see whether you have a state law and then compare the shelter’s policy with it to see if the policy looks like it complies with the law. If you don’t think it does, contact Project H.E.L.P. http://www.homelesslegalprotection.com/Contact_Us.html or the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty http://www.nlchp.org/contact_us.cfm or your local legal aid office. http://www.lsc.gov
I am currently in a privately owned non profit shelter. I am trying to figure out if the owner hss the right to take our cell phones away from us at all. The paperwork states that we do not have to pay 50 dollars a week until we have a job. I am currently 6 months pregnant.and yhe owner will not allow me to get a job. I have no family or friends. Im just trying to figure out the law right now
BY THE HOMELESS FOR THE HOMELESS bloggers in Southern California checking in! Interesting comments and subject. We need lawyers like you in Southern California. ACLU is looking for CLASS ACTIONS. Homeless in Shelters are denied their civil rights and are so afraid of being kicked out that they can’t or won’t stick together to sue!
Thanks for writing. I thought you had lots of strong advocates fighting the sidewalk restrictions in California. I do know of one dedicated homeless legal service in Los Angeles and I am certain that it works on individual claims rather than class actions. It is Project H.E.L.P. — Homeless Experience Legal Protection. If you like what you see on that page, use the contact link to find out when and where you can meet with one of the volunteer lawyers.
My last local residence was St. Francis House, St Augustine. I sleep outside since St. Francis charges the homeless a daily rent for transitional housing after five free days. Is it legal for the city of St. Augustine to provide only one female homeless shelter that meets the criteria (single, no children, no domestic abuse victim)? I loss my personal ID documents upon relocating to Florida; I can’t readily employ myself until I recover my ID. I don’t want to be a whistle blower but my life is at stake living outside as a young, single black female without support.

Do you know how to replace your identification documents? If not, I can tell you how to do that. If you are not yet working with outreach services that will help you plan for permanent housing, contact Jacquelyn Harris Rude or Jean Harden at Emergency Services and Homeless Coalition of St. Johns County. homelesscoalition@comcast.net Here’s the phone number in case that e-mail address doesn’t get you a quick reply: 904-824-6623.
My homeless relative wrote on a t-shirt “please anything helps god bless you thanks” the local police officer made him remove the t-shirt. I do not understand how this is illeagal to wear a shirt with this statement. Are his civil rights being violeted isn’t thus freedom of speech.
The ACLU handles tee shirt message cases all the time. There are several examples cited on that organization’s “free speech” page. http://www.aclupa.org/issues/freespeech/ Your relative’s situation is particularly interesting because it is possible that the shirt violated a local anti-begging ordinance. So which law prevails, the Constitution or the local ordinance?
Justia’s annotated U.S. Constitution shows leading examples of how and when the government is allowed to limit the content of expression. Notably, enforcement of local ordinances is not in the list. http://law.justia.com/constitution/us/amendment-01/40-government-restraint-of-content.html
This would be a good question for debate teams and for a court of law in your relative’s jurisdiction.
Is it illegal just to have a P.O. BOX for a permanent address, I’m homeless an thats all I got

Well I’m homeless in paterson nj an shalter or full here an I get ssi an I’m trying to get
E housing in nj but there is a waiting list
does a homeless shelter have the right to lock up a bathroom door at night where men sleep, and they tell you that you can not use it till 6 am?
Your county health code will have a regulation about access to toilets and washing facilities. When you are on that department’s website, you should also look to see if it has a complaint form or contact address through which you can inform them if a shelter is not letting people use the bathroom during the night. Navigate to your health department’s web page via http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/international/relres.html or else enter your county name and the phrase “health department” in a search engine.

Please help. I was a married stay at home of out 6 children. My xhusband stopped paying the mortgage for 11 months. He told me he was divorcing me. He cut me off of checking,savings and all source of income.,without legal representation i signed the deed to the house to him. I believed if i didnt i qould be hels finanancially responsible for the financial mess he created. Somehow, he modified the loan with my name on it. But without my signature. He kept the house and has a low interest rate. I am now working three jobs and living from apartment to apartment. Please tell me what ,if any recourse do i have? This ia wrong on so many levels. I would have never left my home. I was bullied and tricked. I dis not understand what i was signing.
My boyfriend & I have no place to stay! !! Need help please!!!!! We need a place for him, I, & our small dog to stay for a week. We just moved to area & our housing plans did not work as planned, if anyone can & is willing to help us please let us know. I would be greatly appreciative to you.
HELP ME PLEASEEEE SOMEBODY, i live in redmond oregon in a transitional housing program from neighborhood impact. I consider nyself and my children survivors of a extremely abusive relationship… after 12 years i left for the final time…yes i am a survivor however the landlord in my new home has given me 3 cause of evictions a 3 day eviction notice, entered my home with no permission threats of surveillance and private investigators watching me unfair rules that only apply to my children, verbally abusive, and using her power in the community to intimidate me. just recently i stood up told her shes causing me ptsd, anxiety, depression, etc. and that i will get legal help. then she served me with a NO CAUSE eviction. which results in termination of tran hous program and funding. it is -18 degrees outside i have two children and no where to go… please help me … my children are so distressed over already experiencing so many moves and dv shelters.. i am not mentally and emotionally okay because of this….please help me….
I would seriously look for attorneys who volunteer to help the poor. If you must the Salvation Army has shelters for women in your situation. If they do not, try the Union Gospel Rescue Mission and see if they have a family/women’s shelter. If they do not try Saint Vincent De Paul’s sometimes they can help.
I live in a shleter in ny and theres alot of things they do here that I believe is illegal but my main concern is my mail. Most the time I get no mail “it disappears” and if it is a package they turn it down and dont even give me the notice that is left by the post office. Is this legal for them to do?
If your mail is being taken, you have a legal right to file a complaint with the Postal Inspection Service. http://ehome.uspis.gov/mailtheft/mlntrcvd.aspx
You might just ask the nearest post office for guidance about the turned-away packages.
My husband sold our house from under me. It is a mobile home that’s paid in full. Now my children and I are homeless. How do I go about getting my house back.
I’m becoming homeless as of January 3rd. I am trying to cancel my mail but its requesting a new address. By law and by landlord request, I am no longer allowed to be delivered mail at my address. I’m really confused about what to do here. I don’t need additional problems with the law or my landlord. Please advise.
Unless a friend, relative, or agency let’s you use their address, you will either need to rent a post office box or use your city’s “general delivery” address for your change of address form.

I am homeless I was living in my car the constant harassment from lasd is so.overwhelming I have no money now I have to driving.on a susspended lic.tickets with a bench.warnt for not going to court they took my car so now.I.live under the bridge my life is over I just want to die I have no one I have nothing not a chance of ever bouncing back I live in fear every day these people who take an oath to protect and serve use there power for evil and never have they protected me or served me just constant harassment and false charges so they have job security im sick and tired very tired I just want to die not in jail for driving a car
Are you sick enough to go to the hospital? If so, do that and ask to see a hospital social worker while you are there. That social worker can help you find an indoor location in a different neighborhood away from the police who know you. If the hospital says that you are not sick enough to be there, ask them to help you find a free clinic. Is your sickness preventing you from being able to work? If so, apply for disability benefits through the Social Security Administration.
I think OP meant “sick and tired” as in weary not SSI or hospital ill.
If any homeless person needs a ride to an attorney office for legal assistance, call Sacramento Airport Shuttle for a discounted ride.
I thought it was illegal to turn people away when the temperature got below a certain degree. however, in Anderson Indiana a certain shelter routinely turns away people regardless of the temperature. Is there or is there not a law concerning this?
the temperature rearley go below freezing in California its the gangs behind the badge in Santa Clarita that are thugs with guns and a badge they are the worst gang out.of all the street gangs there is a big investigation by the fbi rite now.we home less are living in fear and constant illegal searches and seizures constant harassment and being ticketed for out rite lies because they know we cant pay the tickets they say be a slave to the community well that even cost hundreds of dollars.this thugs are only concerned about there gang lasd los Angeles sheriff’s dept.have been infeltrated by street gangs we now need protection from the very people who are supose to protect us i am afraid for my life they beat people up and file false charges if they dont get what they want mostly they want information we dont even have.they ththreaten us its sick i cant beleave this is happening we are not free and we can never get off the streets with this kind of discrimination from law enforcement its cruel and wrong some please help us i have tried to file reports for abuse of power and illegal discrimination because we are home less they just laughed im my face and the steped up the harassment on us what ever happened to America the land of the free there are more people in jail in America then in china more the in all of the communist counys combined for driving a car really and the rapist and violent crimanls are free becuse the jails are full of people for driving a car and for being homeless and broke its dangerous and its wrong we have rights we cant let these evil tyrannical men do this tobare citizens this is my plea for help will.any one answer we shall see god help us all .!!
Jessebost– Get yourself to a fire department or call 911 and see if there are any emergency drivers who can come and get you out of the severe cold tonight. In these extreme temperatures cities often establish temporary shelters in fire stations and other government spaces. Know that even in extreme cold weather, a homeless shelter has to abide by the fire code and the health code–both of which limit the number of people that they can safely admit. So, yes, shelters are allowed to turn people away. Still, you need to get inside someplace during this extreme cold–even if you can’t be in that particular shelter.
It’s hard when you can’t work due to an accident, lost everything you work now on the first of the month won’t have a place to live, what can a person do!
My husband and I are living in my mother’s old house with our 17 month old twins. It’s the middle of winter and the bank she signed the deed over to two week after she moved out in October of 2013 has filed tresspassing papers. They know our situation with having nowhere to go and that we have applied for housing and that it takes a couple months to go through. That even after that we will actually have to find a place. My mother knowingly signed the deed to screw us over. We had been trying to find a place since day one of moving into her house when I was pregnant and she decided not to move with us to the area that we had our jobs. As a result we lost everything except our clothes and personal possessions. No we face criminal charges if we do not vacate the house I lived most of my life in. My children face living on the streets or being taken away from us if we are put in prison simply because we have no physical way TO move. We were just able to finall get a car but until we find a place, the assistance office, coalition of hope and the Salvation Army can not help us. We are trying to get out and not causing any trouble. We we just need time and don’t know if we have any at all. I don’t want to lose my kids! I don’t want to go to prison for something I can not control! We are trying to find jobs since we lost our other ones because of my mother. My husband even had an interview on Wednesday but we are constantly scared we are going to her the police at the door. I have to go to mandatory classes because if being on cash assistance while he watches the kids. I’m afraid I will come home to no husband or children and a pad lock on the door so we lose everything else! I’m scared and I don’t know what to do. I thought it was illegal to throw a family out in the middle of winter?
Tonia, I would try the Union Gospel Rescue Mission, and St Vincent De Paul and if they cannot help you ask them for a list of local resources for people in your position. You might also see a free lawyer to ask about squatters rights. I am pretty sure there are no laws regarding weather, without knowing what state you are in it is hard to say conclusively.
We live in Pennsylvania. Since my post the bank actually called us even though no contact is allowed and said we had till valentines day to get out or the sheriff would be called. The lady that actually signed the tresspassing notice said if we had trouble getting a place cuz of our dog that she would take her. Seriously? Then we are supposed to call them once we are out so they can winterized the house yet they have buyers. So something sounds fishy.
You need to get help from a housing advocacy agency. If you are in Pittsburgh, contact Action Housing http://www.actionhousing.org/index.php/social-services-programs/mortgage-assistance-program. (I know that link says mortgage assistance, but they have other services to help folks avoid ending up on the street.) If you are elsewhere in Pennsylvania, see what help you can get from Regional Housing Legal Services. http://www.rhls.org/resources/individuals/ Also,go to the site for the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania http://www.housingalliancepa.org/get-involved/local-coalitions and find the housing advocacy agency for your county.
We are in Mifflin county and have contacted housing authority. Just waiting for our meeting
I forgot to mention that we don’t know where we are on the list. We are hoping to get a place here soon and then when approved the landlord accepts section 8.
Hi I run a homeless shelter in PA and I was trying to research what some of the laws are that involve evicting someone from a shelter for not following the rules could anyone help me?
I am a mother of two who ages are both three and five. I have my own vehical and a bit of cash coming in but we are about to be forced out of our home. My question is im afrad of shelters necause of the awful stories i have heard and thIngs that happen. Ive read that my sons can still attened school even though we have no address and are homeless. But my question is, is there really and safe place were i can park my car and we can sleep? Is it against the law in the city of Fort Worth, Tx to have your family live out of your car?
Though this is temporary until i can get back on my feet i was also wondering with medicade and food stamps will they still help me as well? Thank you so much.
Don’t take those children to live in a car. Contact the Ft. Worth housing authority and tell them about your immediate need for housing. http://www.ftwha.org/contact.asp Also, reach out to the Tarrant County Housing Assistance Office and ask if they can get you into a place that will accept what you can pay. https://www.tarrantcounty.com/ehousing/site/default.asp The Tarrant County Homeless Coalition has a database in which you can search for housing. http://www.ahomewithhope.org/homeless-assistance/housing-search/other-housing/ Meanwhile, reach out to Catholic Charities. http://www.catholiccharitiesfortworth.org/ They have lots of good programs including a housing facility called Urban Manor. Even if none of these have a place for you to inhabit right now, you can ask all of them who else to call.

Is it legal in the homeless shelter to require proof of bank statements that have personal information on them and check stubs and work schedule on top of other?
My pet and I are homeless can my supervisor at work stop my pet from coming to work with me. If my pets stays inside of my car.
The property owner can do what they want. Your supervisor may or may not be acting on behalf of the property owner.
I’ve seen plenty of mom n pop construction businesses, mailbox places and the like with resident dogs and cats.

My husband and I along with our two daughters were living in a homeless family shelter. We had an argument @ 11 am. The called the cops @ 4 pm saying that he hit me. They put a red flag in the department of homeless system and my husband was removed from shelter. I have the report that the cops wrote which states it was verbal. What can I do to reunify my family? My husband is currently homeless because of this and the four of us are suffering not being together. Please any information or resources would be greatly appreciated.

I was placed in a facility for chronically ill, most with emotional or mental disabilitiess. I have none of these disabilities. I was placed here by a homeless shelter in retaliation of my filing z
Ed Zachery my fear Sylvia.
Jennifer Moreno: Reading through all these comments is just breaking my heart over and over. In what city are you? I was homeless in Los Angeles a few years ago, if you’re in SoCal, maybe I could give you some resources. I was a successful lawyer from an upper middle class family until I became gravely disabled. At that same time, my dad (who was my only family) was completely taken from me by an elder abuser. So, not working and disabled, I eventually ran out of money and found myself evicted and homeless. I was I’ll prepared, but with the right resources, was able to navigate me (and my two dogs) into a shelter and then out of homelessness within 7 months. Let me know if I can help… You or anyone in SoCal. Please.
I stay in a homeless shelter in Ill. I want to know if its legal for staff to lock a homeless in the room than call cops on them, they did this to someone. Also, a staff member told me to go to my locker then leave, but while another staff was helping me at my locker, the cops came in and arrested me, they attempted to charge me with criminal trespass, but the staff that helped me basically told the cops that the other staff lied about me being barred. Nothing has been done about the staff being fired or arrested for lying. So what are my options?
I would contact a civil rights attorney…………….
Your first question asks about the legality of locking someone in a room. That might be false imprisonment, depending on the circumstances. False imprisonment is a tort, the kind of case that would be handled by a personal injury lawyer. Those are the lawyers who don’t charge legal fees unless they win your case. Sometimes false imprisonment is also a crime. Read more about it from Cornell Law School. http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/false_imprisonment As for the staff member who lied, you might be able to get results from filing a formal written complaint with the director of the shelter and possibly with the shelter’s board of directors. Also, you might want to call that employee into mediation. Unlike a lawsuit, a mediation can be about the way people treat each other whether or not laws were broken and the participants get to speak for themselves in normal language without using lawyers or worrying about court rules. When you go to mediation, you are seeking a peaceful resolution of the problem so that the people who fought can get along in the future. We don’t know whether this employee committed libel or filed a false police report, etc… But whether your goal is to punish the employee or to improve your relationship with him or her, the internal complaint and mediation are good options for you to investigate further since both of those are direct and efficient ways to handle the outcome of whatever went on at your shelter that day.
The homeless are treated so poorly by our society. I hope new legislation is passed that affords them more protection when in government-private facilities.
I am a civil rights activist and there are many folks out there that are on the same page…….We are doing all that we can to keep the homeless and their pets protected…I started an organization behind ending up homeless with my dog…Believe me I have a voice and I use it for the homeless and their pets…………………..

My landlord served me with 5 day pay or quit yesterday . I spoke with her today and i explained to her that possibly thursday 2 days from today i should have the rest of the money for rent . She was cool with that. Since my roomate came home knocking on my door . Little did i know he went to see the lanlord. And he didn’t know i had spoken with her earlier that day! He was so upset i dont blame him! But she had likke threatened that she was gonna throw him out now . So my? Was under nrs 118A390 CAN SHE ENTER MY APT. THANK YOU I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!
Since you referenced Section 390, it looks like you know about the Nevada Revised Statutes. http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-118a.html If you look at an earlier section, number 330, you can see the circumstances under which a landlord can enter the rented premises. But, in these circumstances, knowing your legal rights does not solve your whole problem. It seems like your roommate just had a bad conversation with the landlord. If you want to avoid fighting this situation in court, stop it from being a fight at all. Reach out to the landlord and remind her about the agreement you made, show some appreciation for her flexibility and anything kind that she has done, and nicely assure her that you are going to keep your word and that you will continue to be reliable tenants. It is expensive and inconvenient to evict existing tenants and to try to find new ones, so keeping you guys in the apartment is better for everyone involved.
My roomate is telling the neighborhood and landlord that i am selling drugs…because of my possession charge in 2004…but i am clean off parole anf hav been for 3 years.He wants me to move out…when i found out he hadnt paid the rent for 11 months and ive been here for 3 paying rent .I was mad…so now here i am about to start college and will be homeless again.I know i havent always done right…but this time is different.I just need a place w/hosnest ppl where i can pay rent in full every semester.Im clean honest drug free gentile not nosey or judgemental.I just dont know when i will ever feel safe again.My conviction is 10 years old.I just wonder when my Heavenly Father will show me my path…Im so alone my parents have passed and my best friend lives 300milez away
I’d contact your bff ask them to preresearch referrals to help you before you arrive.
Hello.i was staying at a motel while looking for an apartment.i stayed for about 4 mnths ther, was current on rent am everthimg.although the fridge did.not work which i complained about constantly but they would not reduce price or even exchange it.finnaly one day when i said u must replace the fridge he flipped out and threw me out although i tired explaining innkeeper laws to him.any way i can get monetary compensation? Thankyou
Well, by definition a refrigerator is not a refrigerator unless it refrigerates. It is just a thick box. If you had some sort of contract, and you typically do when you rent a hotel room, identifying the features of the room and clearly noting that a refrigerator was included and if you could prove that this one did not work and that the hotel would neither give you a different room with working features nor fix this one, would you feel justified in bringing a case for breach of contract? Would you have a good answer if the court asked you why you didn’t leave when you discovered that the appliance was broken and that you weren’t getting another room or a repair to this one? Even if you have good answers to these questions, remember that if you did get most of the features that were promised to be in the room your damages might be just a few dollars a day and a court might consider that to be too minimal for you to have a real contract breach. If you paid in advance for days (or weeks) in the hotel that you weren’t allowed to use because of being thrown out, you should read the hotel’s contract to see if your situation is covered in the “no refunds” section.
Well in relation to the contact iut was all through expedia and when we called expedia to try to get the hotel mamager to give a discount bec of the fact that the room was not a king size bed, a non working fridge , no telephone which is what we were paying for the4 mnths we were there .he basically “flipped out” in the words of expedia, and proceeded to ask us to leave.when i remimded him of the fact that we werethere for 4 months(in a dwelling with more then 6 units) thereby making it a landlord tennant issue the mamager got even angirier and then started threatening us with force after i reminded him what the police would say bec of the innkeeper laws.and basically after his physical threats my fiance decided to leave .if someone could help us.we r new here from fl .thankyou kindly
I am in a mica shelter and I don’t have substance abuse issues at all I was diagnosed with PTSD ajustable in nyc my question is how to get reassessed.
The local government agency that coordinates those kinds of services is the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/mental/mental.shtml See that agency’s housing page to find out about other living places that might work out for you. http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/mental/housing-services.shtml Here are two ideas about finding a provider to re-assess you: 1. Call 1-800-lifenet (1-800-543-3638) 2. Apply for disability benefits and then go to the free and mandatory assessment that the Social Security Administration provides for you. Here is the disability application form. https://secure.ssa.gov/iClaim/dib

I have been homeless for 3 years and have type 2 bipolar disorder which most times is very unmangable without my medication. Over the past year I have been a patient at the behavioral health care mental health. Also I am a resident in a shelter too. At my first mention of my depression and bipolar to a case manager no concern or assistence was ever made. That was approximately a month ago. Right now despite my mental illness and status in a mental health program this shelter is threatening to kick me out due to a 3 month limited stay.
I am writing this here in hopes someone can tell me if its lawfully justifiable for a shelter to kick out a mental health resident who’s documentations show years of such mental health issues.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you !

If my domestic partner is incarcerated and we are eligible in a couple shelter how long do I have to stay in the room being that I am head of household? In NYC. By law?
I found the New York City Rules from the Mayor’s Office on Homelessness and Single Room Occupancy http://72.0.151.116/nyc/rcny/Title31_1-01.asp which, you will see at the top of the page, has a section about city owned apartments for homeless families. Does this couple shelter that you mention falls under this law or under the authority of that office? You might be able to get your answer from the office of client advocacy within the City’s Department of Homeless Services. (800) 994-6494 You can’t be the only couple dealing with a temporary and unavoidable separation, so they must have a standard way of handling this–possibly by shifting you to a single shelter for the time being. See what you can figure out from the information on their website. http://www.nyc.gov/html/dhs/html/housing/housing.shtml

As a practical matter, you should look around for places where you can charge that bracelet on a regular basis. Just about every neighborhood has a police station or a library or some other public facility. You know that you are legally obligated to be monitored via that device. At this point, you need to communicate with a local lawyer. Look for one in this membership roster for the National Organization of Veterans’ Advocates. http://vetadvocates.org/welcome/find-an-attorney/ If you don’t find one there,try the American Bar Association’s list of Military Pro Bono Service Programs. http://www.americanbar.org/portals/public_resources/aba_home_front/directory_programs.html
My husband and I suffer from mental illnesses. Recently we had a housing emergency and was denied housing placement by DSS in Suffolk county, because of the guidlines for eligibility. Two weeks into my new job, and the calculations from my income stipulated I was ineligible. Now sitting in a mall not knowing where to go with concerns that I will loose my new job.
PRAY PRAY PRAY GET CLOSER TO GOD AND HE WILL GET CLOSER TO YOU AND PROVIDE ALL YOUR NEEDS
What a nutty thing to say, if God was capable of fixing her plight surely he/she’d have already done it. Instead of spouting platitudes get busy and help make solutions for those that have no housing. Insist that your county provide a free, self sustaining, eco village for those folks to live in.
Well, I just said a quick prayer for you and your husband. But you can sit down and die or know that you tried your best and let God do His work. God doesn’t want us to be lazy but He is not adverse to fun either.
Find a job that meets those stipulations. Did you make too much too little?

Well that could mean eat crap and call it chocolate or crap but that’s all you’re getting.
But I do understand the concept of being thankful for what you have and not becoming bitter or envious.
I was wondering if it is legal for a homeless shelter to demand bank statements when they already have your social security number and drivers license
If you are staying in a shelter which by law or by contract can only provide shelter to people who have less than a certain amount of money, they may have to prove to their funders that they truly are only housing people at that stated poverty level. A bank statement is the best way to document how much money a person has. And, at that particular shelter, it may be the only way to show whether someone is eligible to live there. Remember that you can always ask to see a written copy of the policies and that you are can ask if there is an alternate way to prove your eligibility. There must be lots of people who don’t have bank accounts at all; are they allowed to stay there? If so, how do they prove that they are eligible to live at that shelter?
We have a lot of questions here about how shelter workers are legally allowed to treat residents. Read the posts about shelters https://homelesslaw.wordpress.com/category/shelter-sleeping/ to see how the law relates to shelter rules and to find leads to more information. And remember that acts like theft, assault, fraud, etc… are illegal everywhere–even in shelters. There does not have to be a separate law about the shelter environment in order for something that happens there to be against the law.
I am currently homeless and I am living in a shelter illegally….
My fiance was placed in this shelter in 2012 because he was displaced. In February of this year, his mom passed and he had to leave to Saint Vincent where she lived to go handle legal matters concerning her estate. He has been stuck there since because of the courts out there adjourning his case since he arrived without a definite date and without his knowledge. And the fact that there are family members actively trying to take his property and assets. The government out there is corrupt and so they can allow something like that to happen if he came back. So he has no choice but to stay and wait everything out or lose his everything his mom worked hard for.
The shelter I reside in is corrupted where he can have company or whoever he wants here as long as the HPD social worker doesn’t find out.
I have been living with him for the last year in the shelter and because I’m not marked down as the other resident in the room, I can’t be seen during the day or we risk losing the room.
The reason I live here now is because I recently became homeless when he was visiting his mom last summer and have been staying here with him up until she passed.
I don’t make trouble and I keep the room clean while he is gone. I have all my belongings in his room as he left me the room until I get on my feet without their knowledge or until I can get to him.
They came as of today to see if I was staying in the room as someone tipped them off and they saw me. The lady who is the social worker of the building said she would lock the room if she caught me again in the room. Bare in mind that I was gone for two weeks only to come back to my room being unlocked and open. My things could have been stolen but they weren’t.
The shelter is highly corrupted and has a lot of illegal drug sales and activities going on that they are not privy to. But because I’m not supposed to be in here, I say nothing as to not bring attention to myself.
If I am not a danger to the shelter itself and I am his fiancé. What I want to know is can they lock the room even though I have been an active squatter and he continues putting his housing logs in as a means of communicating to HPD?
Do I have rights?
Your knowledge on the matter would help because it seems like they want to arrest me or something and I haven’t done anything but stay in the room when I need to and leave when I have to.
(The reason I don’t put myself in a shelter is because of the fact that I work crazy hours and the staff already knows me, his situation as far as his mom’s estate and they don’t bother me….well some of them don’t. The shelter doesn’t have a curfew time for the people to come in. I can’t work with that if I’m working. Plus it’s a little more free to move around in….and lastly he is my fiancé.
Are there any rights I have in this matter?
Thanks for reading!
Hi! I’m writing this email to ask a question about homeless people on the street near by my house which is now happening since 1month ago. I already reported to LAPD several times and to LA homeless authority. However, they all say that there is nothing they can do it. It is helpless. They just come out and give them a warning. That’s it! Is there any possible way I can do it to make them get away? It is really smelly and there’s a bunch of trash with their urine and feces. Need your information. Thanks
It sounds like the neighborhood needs more trash cans, possibly more frequent trash pick-up service, and a public restroom. You should lobby your City Council for all of those things. Get the neighbors together, including the homeless neighbors, to lobby with you. For more information, see the post about getting laws changed https://homelesslaw.wordpress.com/category/legislation/ Here is the Los Angeles City Council’s meeting page where you can also find out about forthcoming meetings of the Board of Public Works. http://council.lacity.org/Meetings/index.htm Note that there is a Council Feedback form where you can submit a note asking that the City provide the homeless people in your neighborhood with better trash service and with restrooms that they can use overnight after the buildings are all locked. http://council.lacity.org/SubmitFeedback/index.htm
Wow! Your comments are a perfect snapshot of the arrogance of elitism. Only your rights seem to matter in your post and like most middle class Americans you don’t even perceive the humanity before you – you have selected your property and your status as having priority over human rights, human dignity. You call on the social versions of human trash removal to relieve you of the unpleasant effects of having ignored or denied the right of well being that belongs to the people you find disgusting.
You object to the trash and smell but not once to the plight of those people having no safe land base, no housing, no hygiene facilities, no basic rights. Quite frankly I’d vote for moving YOU onto the street and the folks that bother you into your housing – I’m guessing there is more compassion and humanity in the people you despise. And you are nothing but a human waste of space and resources.
I have a drug conviction from 2005 for sales and transportation so now I don’t qualify for general assistance im on medication for bipolar,schizophrenia,depression and insomnia I filed for ssi but they say the wait is about a year any advice in wer I could get help from till then
Your state’s vocational rehabilitation agency http://wdcrobcolp01.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/org_list.cfm?category_cd=SVR can provide you with training and job leads for employment that you can do with your mental health issues. The professionals at those offices will assess your interests and your abilities and your limits and will help you identify the kinds of work environments and tasks that you can tolerate. Even if they conclude that you can’t work full-time, they can at least help you find a good match for part-time income. Note that your disability claim will be stronger if you show that you have taken advantage of vocational rehabilitation. Also, even if you get the disability benefits you will still be allowed to work part-time http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10095.pdf, so you might as well get started with it now while you have no other source of money. If you need affordable housing, navigate through your state’s HUD affiliate. http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/states to see what kinds of subsidized places might be available. You might need to go from that state site to your county or local housing office to find actual listings. As you interact with these vocational and housing agencies, and with the social work services connected with your therapist’s office, ask everyone if they can refer you to any manageable jobs.
I have bad credit. Im a divorced single mom. Ive been bouncing around from place to place, with co.signers etc. Right now though, i dont have anyone to co.sign. im in a motel right now. I.cant afford this. I also.cant have my kids without a stable home. I live in delaware. I do have a job. Nothing is enough to get into an aparrment..I NEED IMMEDIATE HELP
Here are three resources to investigate in Delaware:
1. The Emergency Housing and Services Quick Referral List

3. Delaware Housing Search (property listings)
Borrow loan from a bank. $4000.00 take 1,500.00 a go online and buy a acre or lot of a piece of property- land . BUY TENTS, put it on your land. Pay bank back….. the same loan they put inside- your savings acct. At same time deposit employer checks into bank account also.
You need to get your cases expunged. Then you can get food stamps again. See that your fines are paid off, or get them written off by a judge, or whatever you can do. Just look up expungement at your locations website.. Like the County or City Website. This is what I am doing. I have the same type of charges. Good Luck

Me and my son are in danger living in this shelter located at 1930webster ave bronx ny 10457 apt A1. I sent letter to da to dhs. I was a victom slashed 150 stiches in the face. He was sentence. Now im recieving threats i requested N emergancy move i have a two year old here with me
Have you tried victims assistance? For being a victim in a crime, there should be some help available. Check with the D.A.’s office near you.
I am a college educated, 52 yr old woman. I suffer from major depressive disorder and bipolar 2, diabetes, severe autoimmune disease, hypothyroidism, high bp, and more. Ssi is my only income. I’ve been wrongfully evicted. Landlord accused me of being involved in criminal activity and other ludicrous things in letter to vacate. I haven’t. I got a legal aid attorney. I’m in supported housing key program in NC. I feel I’ve been targeted. Im not the only one. At any rate I moved out, turned in keys. Mgr is dropping the eviction supposedly. This leaves me moving into a homeless shelter and losing my housing progrsm. I asked atty if he could not talk to her corp. Ofgice and have my deposit transferred and give me an apt in the sister complex. I’m sick and haveva ,30 yr old disabled son in complex I was asked tp vacate. Thecsister complex would have a different mgr and maintenance other than the one that’s trumped up these false allegations on me and made me homeless. I have a court date on july ,29, legal aid atty said well I’ll be out of rpwn in NY. My mental health workers do not want me near this mgr. Shes nasty to me and I get emotionally upset and bp goes up. I have lived here five yrs. Rarely went out except tp dr appts. This atty doesn’t care. Im too sick to live at shelter.
Pls someone respond to lmk28607@gmail.com
Even though you are not in the usual age group, your combination of ailments might make you eligible to live in an independent care facility (typically for senior citizens) where you could have a decent apartment. I don’t see this possibility addressed in the NC Bar Association’s Senior Citizen’s Handbook, but you could take a look at that source at http://www.ncbar.org and follow the contact information to ask those lawyers whether they know if this is a possibility for you.
I live in a family shelter. I’m always being harassed by some of the male works. What can I do ? Who should I speak too. I live in edison nj . I would really appreciate any help.

A month later the dirty bitch robbed my valuables anyways 8 months later I’m still living as a squatter. I didn’t even know what that was. i don’t know what to do. They brought over a notice to offer me money to move. I called but 2 months later still no answer. Thos houae was abandoned more that 2 years I started to look online for help.

I have Nothing but me myself and my car.I sleep in my car.please please somebody help me
There were families with small girls turned down by Miss Peggy some slept on skid row and some retreated to other areas for safety. Motels have been booked to completely so even with money it’s a struggle i am on waiting list but no caseworkers are filling thierduties and i am exhausted as well as my very young kids at ages 10 and 12
I have been homeless for a number of years, about 12 total. I lost everything when I chose to help my boyfriend after he suffered a brain hemorrhage & was in the hospital for 3 months. He survived & semi-recovered. I got in the financial mess trying to pay his bills because his brothers took all of his money & valuables & then abandoned him. I probably will never get out of that mess. Every so often I try to get those free credit reports. I continually get denied, mainly because I’ve used so many different addresses so records are messed up. I don’t have the proper items to prove who I am either. I do have a drivers licence, but it’s from a different State then the one I’m in right now. Being homeless, I obviously move around a lot. What can I do to get those darn credit reports so I can at least see what & whom I owe? thank you for any help!
Can police in Maryland force a homeless person out of their camp , when camping in public woods?
I am about to move into an abandoned residential house I noticed was empty a couple months ago. I got in an open window and found the doors also open. I’m alone, I’m 55 and female, so I’m concerned about my safety. Can I change the locks and try to make myself safer without fear of reprisal from owner if caught? I plan to try to remain hidden, going on and out at night mostly, but it’s apparent that the place has been used before. The owner hasn’t paid recent taxes, but the bank has. What kind of trouble might I get into if found? I just want a safe place, I’m tired of moving from shelter to shelter, and long for a real home home. Although I know this is no king termit’s not a mutual agreement really I plan to fix the place up slowly and the water is on, plus_
Is it legal for Maryland police to force a homeless person to move their camp out from public woods?
The Maryland Natural Resources Code is online at http://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2013/article-gnr/. This is the code that defines how woods, parks, lakes, rivers, and other natural resources have to be governed and are allowed to be used. One section that might interest you is:
§1-206.
A person may not willfully fail or refuse to comply with any lawful or reasonable order or direction of any Natural Resources police officer or any law enforcement officer in connection with the enforcement of any provisions of law required to be enforced by the Secretary or the Department.
I would simply point out that individual cities may have ‘no camping’ ordinances that they enforce. Get a copy of the law quoted by the administrator to show the cops.

Here are three resources for you to try:
1. Your local ACLU chapter can see if your “due process” is being violated.
https://www.aclu.org/affiliates
2. Your legal aid office can help you fight the efforts to take your kids away.
https://www.aclu.org/affiliates
3. Your regional coordinator from the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness might be able to direct you to helpful services and non-shelter housing options.

I dont know how long it will be but im living in my parents house with my boyfriend and my 5 yr old and 16mth old we are all in one room someone told me we can get in trouble is this true? Im in PA? Thank you?!
I find it hard to believe they care enough to mess with you. However I would not go out of my way to inform people of the fact, because you never know. A public library will have the laws as will a government page online, make sure it IS a government page not a legal firm’s opinion.
Good luck to you.
The law is two people per closeted bedroom plus one (assuming they sleep on a couch and share a closet) That is straight from the International Building Code and stricter local, state or federal rules may apply.
But did anyone report you?
Is there any precedence that permits a minor court such as a county court to deny a homeless person without an address (other than a mailing address for correspondence from the court) to refuse to hear a case on the grounds that they cannot determine jurisdiction? The person in question lived within the court’s jurisdiction and the complaint involved a transaction that took place within the same court’s jurisdiction yet he was denied access to the court. Any cases from the transient depression era that involve these kinds of things? This kinda goes back to the old ways of if you do not own land you cannot participate in government, vote, etc.
You demonstrate, in your question, that you know about the two different types of jurisdiction: personal jurisdiction which is the court’s right to exercise control over a particular person in a lawsuit and subject matter jurisdiction which is the court’s authority to make a decision about the events in a case. There are lots of ways to establish personal jurisdiction other than showing a street address. And there are very obvious ways to show that the court has jurisdiction over the subject in dispute.
If jurisdiction was denied in this situation because the complaint did not clearly show how that court has authority over the people and facts of the case, then your idea of looking at previous cases is a good one that will lead to helpful examples.You could use Google Scholar http://www.scholar.google.com to look for cases in your state to see what standards the courts have set for jurisdiction. A sample search might be [Ohio AND “personal jurisdiction”]. Justia is another excellent free source of case decisions. http://law.justia.com/cases/
If jurisdiction is denied again and there is a clear reason for believing that the judge does not think people who lack addresses are allowed to have access to the court system, then the homeless person who is being prevented from utilizing the justice system can investigate civil rights law regarding access to the courts. In the alternative, the excluded homeless person could contact a civil rights organization for legal assistance. Here is a directory of civil rights organizations. http://www.guidestar.org/nonprofit-directory/public-societal-benefit/civil-rights-liberties/1.aspx
Thank you. I’m afraid the statute of limitation has expired since the transaction complained of that the court refused to hear is now over a year old, so I don’t think it would do any good to re-file. After it was rejected the first time, I went to the clerk to find out why. I explained the situation and that the court was already communicating to me at the address provided in a different civil matter. The clerk said I could refile but it would just be rejected again (rejected by the clerk). Soon after, the court stopped communicating with me in regard to the other matter. I have e-mailed the clerk’s office and still they refuse to respond. I used e-mail since they made the choice not to correspond with me using a postal address. The way it stands now, I have no idea as to the outcome, probably default judgment, of the other case and yet I do know I was denied access to the courts when I attempted to file a complaint in an unrelated matter. It looks like if you own land the courts will hear you whereas if you do not the courts have no time for you. Maybe its just the way of the rural area that I reside. I will study the links you provided since I may learn something new. Thanks again.
I am homeless with two children. I am in transitional housing right now. When I first came in, I told the owner I was disabled, she said we could work around it. My daughter and the owners granddaughter got into it(verbal confrontation), now, a month and a half later, I’m being told that I have to look for work. I told them I’m disabled, and gave them all my medical papers and tests showing that I am. I have filed for disability, and I’m waitimg,just like everyone has to. This is personal why she’s trying to make me work and threatening to kick us out. What can I do, I don’t want me and my kids on the street.??!!
So is it your understanding that you do not have to pay rent until the Social Security lump sum comes through and that then you will pay the back rent in one payment? And then, after that, you’ll use your monthly disability payment to pay the rent? It may be that the owner of the housing program is not able to float you for as long as it is taking. It might not have anything to do with the fight between those girls. There must be a contract or a set of rules that you signed or received when you moved in. Get your hands on that document and find out if it identifies any kind of limit on how many months you can stay there without paying. If there is a parent organization for that transitional housing program (the local government or a some non-profit organization, for instance) then contact their head office to ask if they can tell you about such a policy. If a homeless advocate helped you find this housing in the first place, reach back to that person or office to ask how they can help you at this point. Just to be sure that you don’t land on the street, you could also find your state’s vocational support agency. http://wdcrobcolp01.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/org_list.cfm?category_cd=SVR They will do a whole work-up with you to try and find some ways that you can earn money–even if it is part-time– and make some kind of payment toward the rent you owe. Working with the vocational rehabilitation office will actually be good for your disability application.
Hi I am currently homeless, living in my car for the past few months now. I was backing out of a parking space and barely nicked the car behind me and now the woman wants to sue me for everything she can. Her insurance company sent mail to the address I had listed at the time and they delivered it to me. I have nothing to give them but medical debt and the change in my pocket. Not sure what to do..
Here are a few thoughts: The other driver’s insurance company needs to investigate the accident in order to confirm that their customer is telling the truth about having been hit by another car– as opposed to having just backed into a pole with their own car. Part of the insurance company’s investigation will be a check to see what kind of insurance you have. If you do not have insurance, write back and tell them that. If they have sent you a list of questions, answer all of those questions as truthfully and completely as you can. As far as I know, all U.S. car insurance policies include “uninsured motorist”coverage for exactly this kind of situation. So this other driver’s insurance company will use her own uninsured motorist coverage to pay for damage that you caused to her car. Read more about that at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninsured_motorist_clause If you can demonstrate your homeless status somehow, perhaps with a letter from a service provider, the insurance company will probably be convinced that you do not have any money and that it does not make sense for them to go to the expense of suing you since you have no assets to pay them.
insurance against uninsured motorists is optional. not everyone has it.
My wife is eight months and can give birth anyday now.wife has no income and I make from ssi not enough to provide for one kid here and one on the way. I’ve been to the local social services dept.and they stated that when our newborn baby is born that we can leave the hospital with our newborn baby and go to the shelter. My wife and myself have been looking for apartments but nothing is meeting my budget. I just need some advice and if you have any answers for me I would appriciate it very much, just trying to protect my family and be the best father and husband I can be. From a curious protective and curious husband and father.
I had my son in my custody and was at 7-11 hanging out I was under the influence possession of drug needles so I was in jail 2 months got out and it seems like the decision was made without me knowing. I am doing better now stayed in rehab for 16 month 10 months was by choice its a 6 month program, I’m living with my girlfriend parents and her 9 yr old son I’m clean I work every chance I can I bought a car go to meetings and I’m a positive influence toward my girlfriends son. It’s all going do great. I spoke with her boss they said sd he has her a job when she gets out and comes home
I’m 19 years old have a 2 yr old and 4 month old twin girls. My question is can cps take my kids away because I’m homeless? I went down to welfare they found me a motel but the place was un livable for my kids for example there was roaches bed bugs and mold in the room so I went back to welfare they found me another place but it’s 45 minutes away which is unrealistic due to my twins having therapy twice a week and my son once so all together 3X a week and I would have to take a bus all the way back to the city which is really beyond my means especially with 3 kids under 2 so now their threatening me with cps because I’m rejecting placement when in all actuality their putting us in places where is unsanitary and too far for me to go especially when my kids have appointments few times a week. So my question is can they take my kids away when I’m just trying to do what’s best by them I don’t abuse them their well taken care of I just fell on hard times and their making it harder. I live in New Jersey by the way

Is it illegal to pay a homeless person to stay in a motel for one or two nights in Elko, Nevada?
We just did that for a couple that looked really run down and she looked pregnant, and the motel manager had a cow. They told us we could go jail for doing this. They just needed one night, for they are on their way to Salt Lake. We still took responsibility but insisted they needed to stay one night at least.
Elko is a town in the middle of no where. They hadn’t eaten for 3 days and looked like they didn’t have showers for at least a month or two.
Why would it be illegal to help them? That’s the first I’ve heard!!!!
I am homeless and have cats can they stay in the car with us until I find a new place? I keep them clean, feed, and healthy. Will they come take my babies from me?
I am a 36yr old women. I am. Living. Everyday. With constant mental abuse. The physical part has slowed down after the neighbor called cops after my abuser back handler me in front of my abuser8yr old daughter. My daughter was screaming and crying after seeing the blood gushing from my face. I have nowhere else to go…. he is fully fully swear of that and plays it to his advantage. He. “Allows”me sleep under the porch outside and some night’s will park his car. In the back yard for me to sleep in. I shower n the hose and feeds me what he wants and when he wants. Ialowed myself to fall for his deception of being my frien. It’s been two years and the first 1yr was great till he had problems with manager were me n my daughter lived. I pridedthe rent and bought all the food.
But he got me kicked out so he asked his mother if we can say there since had nowhere else .tk go. Yes he is fully46 and stays at his mother’s home. SHE IS 76 AND SUFFERS FROM DETENTIONS SO HALF THE TIME SHE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM. I AM SO TIRED OF THE ABUSE AND TREATED LIKE GARBAGE. I’VE SOUGHT A DV ADVOCATE THEY HAD NO HELPJthe women just kept saying sorry while trying to rush me out the door. I replied to her ” I’m sorry to because the person who wins today is my abuser again.” And then I slammed the door. PleAse if read my posting and can help me I WOULD BE THE MOST BLESSED PERSON AND FINALLY MAYBE GET MY HOPE FOR LIFE & MY SMILE. GOD BLESS. I M LIVING IN TACOMA WASHINGTON
You’re out of the situation. You’re no longer a DV victim. I was told to get a job and things would be OK. I find myself used corporately and individually and decent people shy away and tell me to learn to get along with my own kind (mentally ill/drug abusers/people who chose to be homeless.
Well, except for the nurse who said she could and has made sane people be committed with no way out while making a good steady income source for the facility no one has been able to really find me mentally ill or a drug abuser or someone who chooses to be homeless.
I get that people are calling me low class. I get that my family says I was not raised like this and keep lowering myself. I’m fighting hard as I can to not give up but even after a crisis counselor was sent to come to me to interview me on a holiday she said I was not mentally lll, just unfortunate and there’s no treatment or guaranteed fix for that. Just $100 a pop counseling sessions to learn better tools. Not covered by insurance. Free counseling has gotten me hand pats or people telling me to do essentially what true psychopaths do. Observe what normal people do and fake it or be myself and continue to attract the wrong people,
Ok so my boyfriend was asked for a bank account in order to stay where hes staying. What i do not understand is why was he asked for a bank account, if its a homeless shelter and they are there to help the homeless. My serious question is, Why was he asked for a bank account?
I have had some medical issues and recently have lost my business. I am home less right now living out of my car. Is there anything illegal about that? Where would you advise staying in my car that would be legal?

Joe, I don’t know where in the U.S. you are. Walmart is safe, but some cities have ordinances forbidding overnight camping, like Cheyenne WY and this includes Walmart. The real problem is that even on private property, towns that are trying to move the homeless out have city councils and mayors who tell the police to roust homeless people and make it uncomfortable to stay in their town. This is a real hassle since we are already homeless. You might check with homeless advocates and shelters in your area and ask them.
If homeless in los angeles CA how can someone receive mail with no address and no money? Lost my CA id and need to get a new one.
You can receive mail in care of “general delivery for your city. Ask someone who works at the nearest post office which local post office is the general delivery post office. They’ll give you the address and directions for getting there, though it might be a long walk. Just tell friends, family, etc… to address your mail to you like this:
Name
c/o General Delivery
City, State zip code
My fiance and I have been homeless and working for carnivals. we just want to stay in one place because everytime we get to another show there is always a problem. either the boss doesnt pay us or we get there after he tells us they have a position for us and they really dont. I don’t know what to do anymore. my fiance is a convicted felon but hasnt been convicted in over 5 years. I’m from Illinois and would like to find somewhere to go but I don’t know where or how to find places we can go. I have thought about low-income housing but everywhere i look i see that housing authorities will not allow felons to be on a rental agreement. I don’t know what to do or where to go! can someone please help me
There are place that rent to felons but the problem being is that you’ll be neighbors with other felons! Here’s a website that might help. http://www.helpforfelons.org/felon-friendly-apartments-housing/

I dont know were to turn no more. Is there any help out there please?
Your state has an emergency grant program that might be able to help you pay the first and last month’s rent on an apartment that will be cheaper than the price of this motel. http://www.dca.state.ga.us/housing/specialneeds/programs/esg.asp The caseworker who does intake for that emergency grant program will probably be able to give you and those teenagers some job leads and connect you with someone who can help you find a good apartment. Here is the link to Georgia’s homeless resources site. http://www.dca.state.ga.us/housing/housingdevelopment/programs/homeless.asp Here is the Georgia Department of Labor’s online database of job opportunities. http://www.dol.state.ga.us/js/job_info_system.htm

I am at beau mathews vet shelter. I have been here a month. I have payed 50 deposit and 25 a week. I am payed up. The manager caught me smoking a joint off the property, which Is legal In denver and said I have to leave emmediatly.Does he have to evict me? I dont have any write ups. And I have a good job. I will loose every thing. Please tell me watt I can do.mark
Well the VA is Federal and they have not legalized grass, so I don’t know. I would look for other resources, other shelters. I would also get in touch with NORML, Just google them and find a location, they can maybe tell you what the law is. Do they have medical marijuana in your state, if so get a green card.
Anyone in need of a birth certificate for themselves should go to an anti-poverty agency near them or a homeless shelter as with a letter from one of these agencies many states will waive the fee. I used to be a homeless advocate in MA and used to write letters to many states registry of vital records office and local city/town hall vital records and 99% of the time was successful in obtaining birth certificates for the clients. Also if filling out housing history and can’t remember who the landlord/owner was I would suggest calling the city/town hall and contact the Assessor’s office (the people that owners pay property tax to) and they can look up who owned the property when you lived there and provide contact information from that time period.
Myself and my partner are almost 50we have a 7yr old son and I have had to leave behind my other 2children because we became homeles and my partner totaled our only vehicle he works in Massachusetts where he is from but we can’t prove we are residents and live in substandard conditions at this moment and we came so I could work to make money for a car but his sister had tricked us and the job was fictional we had to move out after 2weeks what am I to do ?
and get one how can he go about it without being sent back to the state where he is wantedI have a friend who is homeless he lost his ID in Florida but he is wanted in some other state but he is too afraid to get his ID and social security card taken and get one how can he go about it without being sent back to the state where he is wanted in
I meant that a friend of mine is wanted in another state but lost his ID and social security number in Florida and doesn’t know how to get everything that is ID and social security number he’s afraid of doing so because he doesn’t want to go back to the state where he is wanted is there any possible we that he can get his ID and social security without him worrying about that
Write the courthouse where he was born, this will get a birth certificate without going through the DMV and maybe flagging him. If it is not a felony and he can slide in and out that should work, I’vr done that. Basically he is at square one. Go on line and see what is actually out in the state he is from in the way of warrants. Have him cantact Social Security, if he has dealt with them before there should be some security questions, like his mother’s maiden name, and when he was born and where. Once he verifies these things he should be able to have them send him one, maybe online. He may also be able to do the same with his license online, if he has some one whose address he can ahve it sent to. This is the computer age.
I just need help homeless and nowhere to go?
Are you near a hospital? You can go to the emergency room and ask them to put you in touch with a homeless service agency. If not, is there a church, synagogue or mosque nearby? Ask at the office in one of those places if they can refer you to a nearby social service office that can help get you temporary housing, food, and supplies.
I live in Massachusetts im am homeless.having a hard time with job search. I am wondering if I can transfer my shelter to another state??
My son basically stole my car in March! It was supposed to be a 2 week loan! Ive finally got it back, in the mechanic, because he nearly destroyed it! And he did NOT register it, and now i am homeless and need to live in my car! On top of it, i am permanently disabled & in the hearing stage of the process! Is there any kind of charity in CA that can help me register my car?
Please help!
Sincerely,
Janiece S.
Try the Salvation Army, St. Vincent De Paul, the Union Gospel Rescue Mission. If they cannot help ask for list of resources to help homeless people.
Yes, there are agencies that can help you with that. If your car didn’t pass inspection, nobody will register it. Contact the local United Way to ask if they know of an agency that donates car repairs or replacements. In many cities, the kidney foundation accepts car donations. Though they often scrap the cars for cash, I suspect that they know about other local agencies that will refurbish cars for needy people. Contact them and see how they can help you. https://www.kidney.org/support/kidneycars/
im homeless living in a tent live in the woods on i believe to be on county property in Maryland the police came to my site i wasn’t there do i have swatter rights ive been there more than a month.please help what can i do or should i pick up and go
Squatters Rights is a legal concept that applies to private property, not government property. Read about it on this blog https://homelesslaw.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/what-is-%e2%80%9csquatting%e2%80%9d-is-there-such-a-thing-as-%e2%80%9csquatter%e2%80%99s-rights%e2%80%9d/. Someone else from Maryland posted a question just like yours in August. Here’s the reply: The Maryland Natural Resources Code is online at http://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2013/article-gnr/. This is the code that defines how woods, parks, lakes, rivers, and other natural resources have to be governed and are allowed to be used. One section that might interest you is:
§1-206. A person may not willfully fail or refuse to comply with any lawful or reasonable order or direction of any Natural Resources police officer or any law enforcement officer in connection with the enforcement of any provisions of law required to be enforced by the Secretary or the Department.

Did you get help from CCCVS – Center City Crime Victim Services? They exist, in Philadelphia, for exactly the purpose you need. Even if they didn’t help you with that initial application, you should call and specifically ask them to help you for logistical help in getting this additional documentation.
42 S. 15th Street, Suite 1103 Philadelphia, PA 19102 phone: 215-665-9680 e-mail: CCCVS@att.net
Here’s another idea: See if you can get some help from the legal clinics at Temple Law School. These are free services that work with people on claims in government agencies and courts. Try both of these:
The Temple Legal Aid Office Telephone: (215) 204-1800 | Fax: (215) 204-5521 and the Sheller Center for Social Justice Telephone: (215) 204-8800

My 18 year old son has been arrested and put in jail… He was staying with his father and doesn’t get along with his dad’s girlfriend. She attacked him and even though he barricaded himself in his room, blocking the door with a dresser, called the police for help. They arrested both of them. His bond was set for $250, that may not seem like a lot but I live paycheck to paycheck and my car broke down over a week ago. My job requires a car and I need to figure out a way to fix it or get a new one. I can’t get approved for a loan due to bad credit. Is there a way to get help for my son? Do you know of any resources available?
You might be able to get some emergency funding assistance to pay for your car repairs or a replacement car. Contact your local Salvation Army and Catholic Charities offices to ask if they offer emergency funding or ask the local United Way to see if they know of a source for either car repair funds or replacement cars. There might be a veterans’ support agency or an agency associated with your profession that provides this kind of help. When you request emergency funding, you will need to show that you have a one-time temporary need and that you will be self-sufficient once that need is met. Agencies that provide emergency assistance tend to help with utility bills, transportation, home repairs, and some medical needs. They will not pay for your son’s bail. Here is a sample search to use online: “catholic charities” emergency AND assistance. You should also put the name of your city (and if it’s not there then your county or the nearest big city) into that search.

Hi, Justin. I do not know how it works in Arizona but I am pretty sure it works the same anywhere in the US. They would have to formally evict you through the court. This process could take some time allowing you a bit to find a new place. This is the same for anyone who has acquired a residence including squatters who take over an empty house. The owners would have to go through the court. I would def look into this! That isn’t right at all!! I hope and pray everything works out for you!
Why would you voluntarily want an eviction on your record? It will cause problems with future rentals and employment. If you like being a caretaker then stay in that line of work.
I recently moved in with my ( so called ) boyfriend 4 months ago with my dog. I have a part time job at McDonald’s I do not by know means make a lot of money and he started becoming very distant. Three weeks ago I broke my foot which means I could not work I sleep on the couch because I toss an turn so much an did not want to keep him up. Now he tells me he is back with his ex an wants me to move out an all my furniture. I have no money, no place to go and I DO NOTwant to get rid of my dog. He is my baby, he is all I have an I can’t and won’t live with out him. Is there anything I can do or go for help. Signed. Scared and lonely without any money. Please help!!!!
I’m your older sister.

I live in a shelter program in California, it is an 3-4 month program. They lock us out of our rooms several times a day the longest is 8 hours with our belongings inside. I want to know is this legal in the state of California for a non profit shelter to do?
There is no law requiring that any kind of nonprofit organization be open 24 hours a day every day. The fact that you don’t have access to your possessions during the hours that it is closed is also a form of protection for your possessions. The only way to have constant control over your possessions is to carry all of them with you (not usually possible) or to store them in a facility that you pay for–which gives you the right to constant access to that place whether it is a storage unit, apartment, etc…
While in the family shelter I contracted a staph infection can I sue then for health neglect to mention a healthy invionment
You could contact the county health department and ask them to inspect the facility, but people contract staph infections everywhere and it doesn’t mean that the place where they picked-up the germs was necessarily negligent or otherwise liable. If you are right that you contracted the staph infection at that shelter, the health department will definitely want to know about it and continue to monitor cleanliness and disease management there. Additional facts might make your situation more fitting for a lawsuit. For example, if you couldn’t get clean sheets or other basic assistance from the shelter once you got sick or the shelter did not make any effort to eliminate the bacteria from the environment, or the infection made you extremely ill. Since this falls in the category of cases that are handled by personal injury lawyers on a contingency basis (they only get paid after they win or settle the lawsuit for you and they can only get 30-40% of the winnings) you might as well seek consultations with several of those firms to see if one will take your case.
Well, the problem is for my daughter, Jennifer. She is 33 years old. For many years we have been estranged. My husband of 18 years of marriage warned me not to have Jennifer in my life for she is a drug user and abuser. Well, now, my husband passed away June 5, 2014. And when my daughter, Jennifer found out, she conned her way into living with me. And I believe she thought I was an easy mark. And as a result of letting her live with me, my husband was right. She managed to sneak into my bedroom while I was sleeping and started stealing my debit card. I found out about this almost too late. When I was balancing out my accounts and saw on the bank statement where all the transactions that my debit card was being used, that’s when reality hit me about my daughter. I confronted this to her, at first she apologized and said “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again”. But then when I went to the bank November 15th, using the ATM I found out I had no funds in my Savings account and no funds in my Checking account. That’s when I felt she had forced my hand into turning her in because that’s the only way I can be reimbursed.
Jennifer has no regard for money management and no consideration for what others have earned or saved.
We got into a big argument, she socks me in the jaw I get the more angrier and that’s when she left; then after that, that’s when I found out she still had information accessing and making purchases online.
My eldest daughter, Susie, relayed the information to me of what Jennifer was still doing in the first couple weeks of November; and that’s when I had to block my debit card, make a police report and a letter of dispute. Then when I talked with a customer service representative from my bank I found out she had actually been stealing from me from the day I welcomed her into my home.
I tell you what, this was a life learning experience.
Now the place where she stays is a mutual friend of my eldest daughter, Susie. But he has his own problems with his adult children that do not work and I feel like I have shifted the burden of Jennifer onto him and he has only a tiny camper that he is trying to share with.
According to Susie, Jennifer sleeps in a tree.
Do you see what I mean? She does not have a clue of how to take care of herself and when somebody tries to help her, she takes advantage of their kindness by using a great deal of there electricity, steals their credit card, cash or debit cards–this is all she knows how to do.
And all I know is, that I cannot allow her back into my home because I cannot trust her.
She has made too much of attempt of trying to destroy everything my husband and I built together with.
So now I am calling out for help. Somebody that knows how to deal with people like her.
Someone of strong authorities that can straighten her out, dry her out and teach her job skills so that she can finally start living a responsible life.
Jennifer has no job, no health insurance and no guidance.
But this does not mean I don’t care for her, I am alone and retired of 31 years of government service and I cannot afford to send her anywhere. The only thing I might be able to afford is bus fare and maybe a little bit more for eating expenses. But that’s it!
I just need somebody out there who is tough enough and cool enough to handle someone like her. I still have faith in her that if she was drug free and had job skills and guidance she could learn how to take care of herself without depending on others for handouts.
But I’m hoping somebody out there can also get her off the streets and put a roof over her head while she is in detox, is there a place that exists like this for her?
See if there is a NAMI group where you live. http://www.nami.org NAMI is a support and advocacy organization for families dealing with mental illness. You might start by contacting the NAMI Help Line which is “an information and referral service that can be reached by calling 1 (800) 950-NAMI (6264), Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.- 6 p.m., EST or by email at info@nami.org” NAMI also offers classes and support groups, but that help line will quickly get in you touch with agencies that can help your daughter.

I was wondering if there are any apartments that will let you live there and slowly pay off a bill you owe from a recent apartments complex in or around walker michigan I need help I can’t find any places.
Me and my husband are here in Phoenix Arizona and have been struggling to find help for a place to stay as we have to wait for my husband to get paid by January 3rd we also needed gas for our car and also need food but we can’t seem to find any we went to a church but they said that they need to see us in that church for a long period of time for them to give help to us cause they don’t know us and they are afraid we might do something bad to them. It’s kinda so frustrating to hear that from a Pastor of the church and I don’t know what to think anymore we are in a very bad situation cause our car broke down several times n we needed to get it repaired and the money my husband got for December all went to the car repair so we were not able to get a place to stay n money for gas n food for ourselves. We need help
Badly please somebody help us thank u n God bless u
Here are three ideas:
1. The Phoenix Salvation Army provides housing and meals and assistance with figuring things out. http://www.salvationarmyphoenix.org/
2. There are multiple food providers nearby http://www.azfoodbanks.org/
3. Here is a list of social service providers that can help with food, shelter, health needs, debt issues, etc… http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/arizona_assistance_programs.html
Ask, at every agency you contact, whether they know of a local organization that helps people with transportation needs.
Phoenix churches have told me the same thing. They must be very wounded or thin skinned. I do not want to think they are hard hearted to all but their own but it has occurred to me.
Then people say “don’t be paranoid” to my face but they also say “I’d never put up with that crap” behind my back.
I grew up in SoCal but can’t afford it there.
I don’t want to be in a cult or controlled but I do want a good caring community but good people either rediscover their dark side or shy away from me.
I don’t want to live where there’s ice either.
I simply don’t have the country club vibe but am not looking for snobbery just good people who will welcome a trusting girl who needs a friend or two.
I have been kicked out of my girlfriends house that she owns and I have paid for for the last 3+ years. We chose to have two kids together and she has been a stay at home mother for the most part of it. She took a job as a bartender and couldn’t handle the attention so I am now displaced with nothing. Everything I own is in my car. I made over $225k in the last 4 years and every bit of it is gone. Is it horrible if I just leave town and move ten hours away to be a waiter or construction worker on beach somewhere?
Continue doing whatever you do for income, pay child support and see a lawyer about protecting your parental rights. It is not horrible to leave town but if your life would be miserable too close to her then it might be the best choice.
I have a question im homeless and in a encampment they are tring to throw me out, my boyfriend is disabled the police said they can’t make me leave bit the camp is threating to tear my small hpise apart and throw that and what little belonging we have in the trash, can they do that legally? In desparate need of help,!
Are you hoping to assert that you have some sort of property right entitling you to remain in a place that you don’t own or rent? It doesn’t sound like you have time to do legal research and bring that kind of claim to court. If the others do destroy your stuff, you can ask the police to charge them with vandalism and possibly theft or some other type of destruction charge.
Where can I find last minute help for christmas im homeless with children and dont know were to ho I live in danvers mass please help before its to late I want my kids to have a Christmas this year please

Iv been homeless sleeping in my car with my three kids can cps take my kids
Do you still have the kids in school? Are you keeping them fed and healthy Are you still getting them to the doctor when they need one? These are some of the basic legal obligations that parents have in every state. The police will only take kids from their parents and put them under the control of a social services agency if the the parents are being neglectful or abusive or, in your particular situation, if there is a rare, strange, and specific law declaring that children are not allowed to live in a vehicle.
If you can’t find a shelter, maybe you can find a living situation that is connected with a job. For example: Maybe you could become a live-in caregiver for a senior citizen who wants to keep his or her or their house and who would like to have kids around again. Here is one site where you can find those kinds of jobs. http://www.care.com/
I just moved out to los angles California area from Illinois. I moved out here cause a friend from high school moved out here and he told me he had a good job an that he could get me a job with him. Well come to find out when I came out he was fired for drugs. An now he is a junkie an I don’t want to be around that stuff an he has bad anger problems. I am very depressed about all this cause I don’t know anyone here and I have nothing back home to go to. I’ll be homeless with in a week. I have been applying to jobs and have a good work history.

Homeless veteran with wife and 4 year son staying in Sierra inn please god give us a hand we try everything
My 2 daughters were homless due to domestic violence.
I hadnt spoken to my youngest daughters father in 3 years
I moved out of the state to hide from my abuser.
Her father heard about this and came out of nowhere filing kidnapping charges (dismissed)
And requesting custody because we were in a shelter.
He won! Even though at 3yr she didn’t even know him. It was like watching her get kidnapped.
My other daughter and I are now back on track and in an apartment.
During this time he moved 6 hours away.
How do I get my baby back?
I have been w my fiancé for 4 years and have lived in his house for 4 years. He is now kicking me and my 10 year old daughter out and is telling me to be out by tomorrow. Is there a certain amount of days he has to give me to find another place? Before we moved in I had my own place and a job but now I do not have a job and obviously not my own place anymore. Can anyone please help.
Depending on where you live, ive heard that if you have proof of residence over in some places thirty days or more depending on state and laws.. most laws state that even if not on a lease..like here in tn, you have to go through the courts and order an eviction, which can give anywhere from seven days to thirty days or so to be out.. again it depends completely on where you live and what the laws on eviction are in that state or county.
Need a shelter that can help a couple without I’d
the homeless in Anaheim CA are continually being bullied by people and police making it that they have nowhere to lay their head at night and because there is no room at the shelters for all of them. They don’t have places to go to be able to keep out of the cold weather at night either. Anaheim like other places in CA and around there are trying to push the homeless to go somewhere else because they have been doing the same in other city’s like Huntington Beach CA. They don’t let even the homeless that have cars sleep at night. They have this ridiculous law that you can not sleep from 9pm to 9am in your motor vehicle. If your trying to get off the streets and find a job you need to sleep and if you live in your car and you just got a job you need more then a week to live in your car to get a apartment here in CA because rent in CA is way to high and you can’t make enough money it would take over two months of living homeless to get a apartment and that’s if they will hire you because you are homeless a lot of times a employer frown a pawn that and not hire. But to get back to the not sleeping from 9pm to 9am if you did get lucky and got a morning job because that’s all that was hiring how can you sleep after you get out of work in your vehicle if the police won’t let you because they will give you a ticket for sleeping in your vehicle and you can’t go to a over night place because they want 50 a night and you don’t even make 50 in one day because you have to wait two weeks till you even get your first check. It’s all screwed up the system the laws you can’t get a foot hold if they won’t let you.
My and my boyfriend and two kids are homeless and have Ssi and its hard to get a place and it’s very cold need help bad
Wouldn’t it be nice to have us homeless people all gather somewhere and build our own small huts and gain employment and help each other out? Sort of like a commune but not one of those nut job ones that turn into cults?
Me and my girlfriend are getting kick out by the end of next week am 18 and she 17 this month can we get a hostel together or what can we do
Please give us information?
Iam homeless and my licenses are suspended. I need to know how to get them back i have twins their four its really hard getting around. If theres help please help me.
What kinds of licenses are suspended? Your driver’s license? Your professional license? If it is your drivers license and you lost it in criminal court, you probably just have to wait until your suspension period ends. Still, it can’t hurt to go to the drivers license center and find out the procedure for reinstating your license. Did you lose your license because you didn’t have an address anymore? If so, see the post about addresses that homeless people can use on drivers license forms. https://homelesslaw.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/how-can-a-homeless-person-living-in-a-car-or-van-get-auto-insurance-without-having-an-address/
Can anyone help my family relocated to Orlando Florida and we were scamed our landlord double rented the house and took our money. We are living in a hotel but money is little to none. Please help if you can.
Your local legal aid office can help you sue that landlord and get your money back. Call the Orange County Bar Association Legal Aid Society 407-841-8310 or go to one of their homeless intake sites http://www.legalaidocba.org/index.php/homeless-shelters to talk to a lawyer. The legal aid lawyer will represent you for free. Also, get in touch with Hope Helps http://www.hopehelps.org/. That is a local organization that will help you find good and affordable housing.
Need to know will the dss pay for a hotel I’m staying in in dauphin county I am homeless.
If it below 30 degrees outside can a sheltar pit u out…especially if you haven’t broken any rules
If you are in a cold weather emergency shelter, they might put you out during the day and let you in at night only or they might just be too full to keep you and everyone else there. If you are in a regular shelter and you have come to the end of your maximum time there, they can put you out even in freezing weather and even if you’ve followed all the rules. Even if you aren’t out of time, a shelter can put you out for no reason without necessarily breaking a law or violating a contract with you– though you might at least ask your legal aid office or a law clinic at a nearby law school if they will help you bring a breach of contract case against the shelter. As you can tell from the comments on this page, a lot of people are watching for somebody to win a case against a shelter that doesn’t live-up to its promises. But right now, you need to get in from the cold. It would have been legitimate to ask the shelter to get you transportation to another shelter during the cold weather emergency. Also, you can always call 911 in extreme cold weather and ask them if they can help you get a ride to a cold weather emergency center. In some cities, there are taxi services and non profit organizations that will transport homeless people on cold nights and the 911 operators know how to reach those entities.
Here is another thought, inspired by a note I just received from my city: Municipalities and counties sometimes operate all-day senior centers when the weather is cold. These are the same senior centers that tend to have classes and meals available, but they are open for extra hours and extra activities when the weather is very cold. In Pittsburgh, they specifically invite the entire community to feel free to drop-in at these centers– even people who are not senior citizens. Of course, it would be very nice for any able bodied cold person who goes to the senior center during the day to serve as a volunteer while there. You might call your local senior citizens help line to ask if these kinds of local facilities are available to you during the day. Even if they aren’t, how do you like the idea of doing volunteer work someplace, just as a way of getting indoors in cold weather?
Here is the Pittsburgh announcement:
“The City of Pittsburgh has activated emergency response protocols due to severe weather and extreme cold temperatures hitting the area this week.
Warming centers at four Senior Center locations are currently open to all residents throughout the city. Facilities are open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. until further notice. The locations include:
Greenfield Senior Center – 745 Greenfield Ave. (412-422-6551)
Homewood Senior Center – 7321 Frankstown Ave. (412-244-4190)
Sheraden Senior Center – 720 Sherwood Ave. (412-777-5012)
South Side Market House Senior Center – 12th St. and Bingham St. (412-488-8404)
Public Safety personnel have been instructed to notify and assist the homeless with access to the shelters.”
Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows if you can sue social services. We have had a legitimate financial need and have won a fair hearing. They still do not comply. They have threatened us, lied about us, and to us. They have even retaliated. They also ask us for the same info over and over and it just doesn’t stop. We have been dealing with them for under a year, but the hits keep coming. You take care of one thing and either it isn’t fixed or they “mess” something else up. The stress has been unbearable.
You can bring complaints about social service agencies to your state attorney general’s office, which can sue on behalf of the citizens of your state. Find the link to your state attorney general here http://www.naag.org/current-attorneys-general.php As another option, you can complain to the higher authority beyond the social service office that you are dealing with. So, if you are dealing with the local or county branch of a state agency, get in touch with the head office in the state; they’ll have a consumer satisfaction office. If you are dealing with a local agency that isn’t a part of state government, contact the mayor’s office to describe any incompetence, wastefulness, or injustice that you are experiencing with the agency.

Thank you.
The Canadian government is forcing people to become homeless. UIC is a joke. The waiting period, the low payment that do not cover ones rent. And no temporary help available to help with financial short falls. The system is broken, and I do not know how to fix it. I will become homeless in a mater of a week or so. This is due to the waiting for UIC and the fact that the payments will not cover living expenses. The is no way out other than death. What a sad unforgiving world we live in. The harsh reality of not enough money hurts us all. The government wants people to be desperate. A desperate person will take any job, low paying minimum wage, a desperate person is less likely to disobey job duties, even when dangerous. The attack on unions, the overwhelming suppression on the dwindling middle class. It all points to an attack on the poor from government and big corporations. This is widely evident in the USA, but I see it happening in Canada now with the Harper Government. I ask the question, what can we do to fight back?
I’m a single mom. My kids disrespects me by cussing and fighting each other. They also laughs and picks at me. They have made me their maid servant. I don’t feel like their mom no more. I actually wants to walk out or hurt my self bad. Cause it hurts real bad to have mean kids. But I have no money at all without my kids. They feeds me. Truly I’m alone & homeless. I was in a wreck in hospital & nursing home but they denied my disability. I’m left with life time rods pins & screws in my left leg
I am so very sorry to hear about your situation. There are so many of us hurting these days. I wish I had the means and resorses to help with more than just words. I so feel your fustration, as for your kids, easier said than done, it sounds like they lack in respect for you their mother. Your children need to be reminded that one day, that lack of respect will someday bit them in the ass. I can only say this, your situation was not your fault, life is cruley unfair, and it strums from the stupid legislation on who, how, and when financial aid is granted. Everyone needs to reach out and help those in financial dispare. We have to start building personal networks together. The day of shying away from our neighbours has to end. We all need to pack together inorder to help our selves out and make change for the better. My suggestion would be to get your story out there, do not quit fighting for yourself, do not give up! Phone your MLA, bug Family Services until you are blue in the face. Get counciling, try to make your children go to counciling. Use community based services to the fullest extent. Most of all, try and make as many friends as humanly possible. You may have already tryied these things, and if so, please try again. Do not accept defeat! Do not let your children get you down, do not let the system supress you any longer, you have a strong voice, you need to use it! Keep posting, keep calling every resorce avalible! Know that I am a stranger, but am also proud of your words. Regards, The Fed Up Canadian!
Hi, My name is Kevin and I have been homeless since the beginning of Feb. 2014. Before hand, I had a job for 5-6years and was laid off in good standing due to lack of work living in Philadelphia, Pa, renting a house and were on unemployment but in the process of searching for a job off the Pa site through Careerlink. A few friends on my Facebook following a post “Anyone know of jobs that would hire me? I do have a car and tools and am a very hard worker!”. But the “friend” that I chose to take advise from currently is my co-defendant. In mid summer following unemployment I became a suspect of “intoxication”, and while sent to jail for 4-5 hours my “friend” were sent to a hospital which he is diabetic. The police tells me, “you seem to be okay, so we are releasing you, you need to call this number to get your car out of tow.” I had only $10 so I just walked to my Dad’s house unexpected and he helped me get the car out of tow. I proceed with “trying to find a job but found out later my unemployment is being cut off and this was during “gov. shutdown” so I can’t reapply or anything! So now I’m really behind on rent and landlord decides to get me evicted, and he did try to help in his own way. But it only helped a little. Eventually, I moved out, possessions in storage facility, and still no job but were selling some of my belongings to survive and pay “sister” what I can to stay with her. But, then storage fees were due and I felt I need a roof over my head and my “sister” needs money after telling me she’ll help me out, but that didn’t work out so another month goes by and she telling me that I need to go after car was towed for false reason why and I am denied access to storage because of non-payment. I ended up selling bottles of cold water in the mid of street during whole summer making peanuts, lost my iphone and social sec. Card and then I run Into a friend I went to elementary schl. with and we were friends on Fb. He says, “I got work for you and since you have no shelter come stay in my camper outside my house in Lehighton, Pa, but there’s no heat or running water!” Great friend and he is help but then I had another problem that is: I found out that I was a fugitive on the run! My friend that I stay in his camper and I made a commitment that I turn myself in and if let go and have court dates, he will help me get back-n-forth because the judge to be seen is in bensalem where I was held in police custody for “intoxication” which is a 50 mile drive.. I turned myself in and was released instantly on a $0 bail for possession of a bunch of drugs that were found in my car! I had no knowledge that there was! To fast forward my story, during this cold stay in a camper with little heat, I have gained so much interest in becoming a solo tor truck driver. I’ve been studying and info searching so much on this and it is what I really want, to go to a training school to learn trucking. But, now there is one more problem! I need my birth certificate and in order to have that, my address must match with a dress on Pa drivers license which I have spoken to with friend, if I can update it with the address where I’m at and he says “No!”. I don’t know what to do. All I want to do is use the address to update license, get birth certificate, go to court and hope to God the case get thrown as it should, get admitted to a good opportunity training school of choice, a start a new path in life and leave all the negative behind me so that I will be able to help my daughter go through life not the way I did. Can someone with good knowledge please help??? Should I go to the nearest shelter after my court date if hopefully Bensalem Judge is not trying to wrongfully convict me?

Hi i live in mass. I am currently in a EA shelter im on the 3 floor and there 4 floors the people up stairs be letting there children run n jump long stories short yesterday i was moping when all of asudden the light fixture fell landed on my head n broke a piece of the class ended up puncturing me in my right hand i had to go to the hospital ended up with 5 stitches n having to get in contact with a hand surgeon because they believe i injured my tendency can i sue n who cause the shelter leases the apartment from the actuall land lord. Thanks
Why do you think you need to sue somebody? Is it because you can’t pay the medical bill? Why don’t you just ask if the shelter has insurance that will cover your injury?
I have been fighting this Contractor with what little money I have. This has been going on over a year. I filed my last response late. Now the judge just sent me a notice that they were taking everything my Wife and I have. What am I to do. These contractors stole most of what we had

What are my rights when I live in my vehicle I’m in Ventura county but trying to find a place to park and shower I’m on ssid
Thanks

Most of the time, laws tell your obligations more than your rights. Here is the Ventura Municipal Code http://www.cityofventura.net/cm/municipal-code in which Division 8 is about public health and Division 16 is about vehicles and streets. The Ventura County Human Services Agency http://www.ventura.org/human-services-agency/ can probably inform you about some services or facilities that you can access.

I came out of a very bad divorce only to find myself homeless. No job, family just no place to turn. I don’t know what to do.
Debbie, I’m so sorry that you are made desperate in a country that is awash in land and resources. You might find some help here on the Intentional Communities website http://www.ic.org
There is a charity near where I work that might be suited to your needs especially if you have minors in your charge

Free yourselves from the shackles of sms texting and I’ll do my best to help where I can. This is not email. OTR required for privacy and security.
Then come to Jesus is the only thing to do especially when everyone else has let u down but Jesus he never will disappoint u like people do and the messed up government and the corrupt court system don’t count on them to help u they are not above God so my advice to u is this Jesus and God are the only answers to all your problems try them and you will see. Now the rest is up to u.
There are some good resources for homeless rights at Christian shelters. Google: Christian shelters in near me.
every homeless person in this country who are treated like third or no class citizens, as I have been; repeatedly, needs to do their best to show
the establishment our best side even in our adverse state and do what we
must to help oneanother now and in the future as we do whatever it takes
to reintegrate into this sick society that our elected officials daily make
even more absurd. our goal? to show the world that we are stronger for our experience, more compassionate and voice and act to dissolve this
uncaring, corrupt thing they call “justice”. I have been criminalized for
being homeless, arrested for no reason,just because they “can”. Sorry
but I’ll forgive anyone but a person “pretending” to be GOD.
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT. BE SAFE. DO UNTO OTHERS. LOVE.
HOMELESS IN cA
“reintegrate into this sick society that our elected officials daily make
even more absurd.”
Are you registered to vote? Can you remain educated on the issues? Are you grounded in the principles that founded our nation?
Is it possible to have car insurance if you’re homeless in the state of Oregon
You should submit your question to the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles to find out if they have a special process for homeless car owners or to ask whether they allow homeless people to use other people’s street addresses. You’ll need to call them because, ironically, their online form requires a street address. http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV/pages/online_forms.aspx
If you are allowed to use someone else’s street address, you’ll probably want the DMV’s change of address form so that you can switch your cards from your old address to the friend or relative’s address. http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV/pages/dv/chgaddress.aspx#individual But first, notice that the Oregon DMV automatically cross-checks with the U.S. Postal Service. If you are living in the car but use somebody else’s street address to receive mail, use the Postal Service’s change of address system to identify yourself with that street address before you use the DMV’s change of address system.
I have stayed at a hotel in Fairfield County CT and I am here for 30 days plus I have a baby and I depleted my funds in paying for my room and looking for an apartment I cannot pay for another nite and it is winter I have no place to go until end of month I don’t want to be evicted but I don’t know my rights I have all my reciepts to show what do I do ? I do not want to be in the cold with my children
My parked car was hit over night. I was inside the homeless shelter. The driver slid into the rear of my car. I didn’t hear or see it happen. Don’t know who’s car hit it. All I know is it is still parked in the same spot undrivable. There is video that I haven’t seen. I’ve called police. Got a sheet of paper from him with who took the information. Called back to try and press charges on whoever hit my car ( the person left the scene of the accident) and have an appointment to talk to detective about the ramming of the car to see if they can come up with more information for me to get compensation for losing my car. No transportation. The insurance company is not being helpful. They need police report also. Neither one of us have one yet. I might have to file charges against the homeless shelter/hotel owner also. This entire incident is tiring for me since I’m a juvenile diabetic. Not sure what to do.
What do you think about the idea of contacting a TV news crew to come and film the wrecked car and interview you?
how was your car insured?
” Called back to try and press charges on whoever hit my car ”
How?
“I’ve called police. Got a sheet of paper from him with who took the information.”
The officer would have provided you his business card to call and receive the filing number. Have you called for /that/ information yet?
“I might have to file charges against the homeless shelter/hotel owner also. ”
How are they liable for the public street? (hint: they’re not)
Since you have interweb access have you considered writing an “open letter”?

I might be homeless within the next few weeks. How can I find a safe place to stay. Until my situation improves
In california this is hugely problematic if you are a single, adult male.
Contact your church for better options than state funded ‘care’.
What do you do when you live with a man for two years, the bills are all due& PGE cut off. Over two years ago wife died let him stay to get on his feet.
We fell in love..(??) and still today he refuses to get a paying job.
His latest trick is that he leaves and goes to the Homeless Shelter if I get to naggy about bills. I am a mother from 6 previous marriages, I am still supporting 3 and their dad pays child support too. But I do not make enough to make ends meet every month.
However, he does do a few things to help, mostly transportation of kids, errands, which I appreciate but they do not pay the bills. Knowing this if he tires of the financial stress and responsibility he crusises to the shelter for a few days so I miss work and need his help.
Isnt this unfair? When a person has a home or place to be? What are the rules for using a shelter?
1
Do you have a mobile phone?
2
do you have any tv services?
3
do you own a tv capable device?
4
do you own a computer device
5
do you have internets services
6
shelter rules? what about rules living under YOUR roof?
Albany Oregon has a homeless shelter on Lions Street that allows married couples to stay together.
how can a homeless man receive a permanent library account in San Diego? No state id, and obviously not permanent address, nor utility bill / bank statement / other frippery
Same question: Orange County, california
That’s why you can’t trust anyone but the lord to be there for u when you are having problems like this just go to Jesus and God and they will help u better than anyone else! Believe me I know trust only in them not in people or family or in the system that’s corrupt!! Only they will see u through it all!! Have faith and pray and believe that your prayers will be answered and it will be!! I am a living witness of God and Jesus answering my prayers all the time!!
thank you
I’m currently a resident staying in a battered women’s shelter and I find it extremely difficult to obtain legal information on shelter residents civil rights in Texas currently their are regular monitors at this particular shelter most women who live here are not aware of civil rights laws the monitors here have searched our purses and backpacks rummaging through our personal things they are only monitors not security guards they sieze items we buy our all our medications that belongs to us would like to know if these actions are appropriate I do not believe it would fall under rules or regulations to do such a thing we cannot do anything about it we are battered women this shelter is not meant for the purpose of being violated by this shelter several women here share my sentiments we feel and believe thisvti be a violation against our civil right to privacy and security amendment 4 could someone explain if this is possibly against our civil rights? Not to mention they sieze all snacks they claim they throw away most of us need for work or because we are on medications but they do not return any of the seized personal items besides snacks all sorts of personal property they conduct the personal property searches & sieze do they legally really have a right because we are shelter residents?
I’m currently a resident staying in a battered women’s shelter and I find it extremely difficult to obtain legal information on shelter residents civil rights in Texas for our civil issues involving ourselves & shelter abuse & violations this is an issue currently their are regular monitors at this particular shelter most women who live here are not aware of civil rights laws the monitors here have searched our purses and backpacks rummaging through our personal things they are only monitors not security guards they sieze items we buy they dont provide for us even take like all our medications that belongs to us we would like to know if these actions are appropriate that shelter monitors are doing at this shelter I do not believe it would fall under rules or regulations to do such a thing we cannot do anything about it we are battered women this shelter is not meant for the purpose of being violated by this shelter we come here for help but end up bieng mistreated and run over it seems we dont have our rights here not to mention bieng treated like children instead of responsible adults leaving bad situations several women here share my sentiments we feel and believe this to be a violation against our civil rights to privacy and security amendment 4 could someone explain if this is possibly against our civil rights?

Do they really get to do things to us that its acceptable? Many people who make big donations to the battered women’s cause do not know how we are treated here in these shelters although they get a lot of donations we don’t always receive from those very same donations it is a sad story coming from the inside of battered women’s shelter
Your results are typical all over the country and for every (highly edited) success story there are many more like yours. I’ve witnessed some.
At one shelter, I thought I was in line for breakfast and soon found out I was the ONLY person there not on psych meds. The corruption is rampant and anyone would be better off at a friend or relative’s house lining up a job/housing they did not help me with either since I did not have minor children or any underlying mental or substance abuse issues.
They actually told me less than 1% get back into society and this temporary shelter is the best they will ever see.
My wife is interested in starting a nonprofit to send homeless people in cold climates (New York) to areas with warmer climates (Mexico). Is this even legal?
I moved some of our household into a friend’s attic by invitation about three months ago. At great expense and with the last of our money, since we were states away. We are homeless but saw it coming and tried to save some things to get back on our feet and for sentimental reasons. She had stuff up there, hers and other family members, she plans on cleaning out. She is talking about getting a dumpster. I said, “Please, don’t throw away my stuff though.” And was reassured she would not. She has also said I can stay as long as I like. But she has moods. And I overheard her talking to her son: saying what if she had to move in a hurry?( She owns her own home and plans to stay here after she retires..) He said don’t lie to her about it. I’d talk to her about it but my husband says don’t since if she is in a mood, she will do exactly what you ask her not to. Do I have ANY rights over what happens to my property? Can I save it?
I know all about corruption me ans my wife now deceased have been horribly destroyed by law ans society wish someone would contact and help
me.
Us too. My husband’s career was ruined by rumors and inuendo and he lost his job and reputation. (And justice takes eons.) We are now homeless and in failing health from all the stress and fallout situations caused by this evil. But somehow it’s okay cause this is a corporate guy in a tie, so no one even bats an eye. I don’t see how doing this to someone is any different from holding a gun to their head!
Hi. Yes I have a question. Maybe you can help me out. If the American Red cross association sets up a room for a person house that burnt down for 3 days. And that person didn’t check in within those days is he or was he ever still considered a customer?
Where do i, a displaced middle-aged woman go when I’ve been displaced by domestic violence, all my property stolen by my ex partner and all the shelters in my area are full. My dog was accidentally injured and now has a broken leg and my work forced me to get a doctors note in order for me to take time off work, because sick time has to be preapproved and I cannot simply call out sick??? I’ve been living put of my car for over a month. Please advise. My family is no help!
The Red Cross http://www.redcross.org/find-your-local-chapter might be able to put you into emergency temporary housing. Also try the Salvation Army. http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/ If you haven’t paid rent for the past month, maybe you now have enough money saved from your job that you can pay a deposit on an apartment. Call your local housing authority for help finding inexpensive rental options. You can even get in touch with your state HUD (Housing and Urban Development) office to ask for leads to affordable housing and emergency aid to start from scratch in a new place. http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD Have you already called the NCADV Domestic Violence hotline? 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE)
My sister was attending college to become a COTA, while attending, her husband went to prison (she hasn’t worked in years) for 10 years. She got evicted because she couldn’t afford rent. He left her with ALL the bills + everything was put in her name without her knowledge..severing financial relationships with electric company, gad, cell, car, etc..meanwhile, her 3 young children are staying (temporary legal guardianship) with their aunt in marietta, oh..and sister is in tampa. She just started her new job but cant get a place to live, hasn’t worked long enough.. Supposedly makes too much to get cash assistance, or food stamps.. It’s awful! Kids are not being treated right with their aunt and my sister cant get ahead when she cant even pay for the storage unit her belingings are in. Can she get assistance without having to live in the projects? Her ass of a husband wad a piece of work. He stole..look him up: joseph f. Daniele, tampa, fl..thx
A SLUMLORD is responsible for cheating lying, misleading, and cheating us for his own selfish gain. There is a piece of WORK living in Santa Clara, Ca probably kinda proud at the job he did last year to a couple of dumb chicks! This ass has been a step in the wrong direction ever since we met him. And took full advantage of our shortcomings to benefit his quality of life. We are a couple of disabled woman, my friend lost her arm just above the elbow in a hit and run accident back in 2008. And she still has not fully adjusted to this new way of functioning without a limb mentally or physically. I am a mess in so many ways and vulnerable as well as weighed down by the population that seams to be ravenous and ruthless to people like us. I always continue to help those who end up for their own selfish gain cheating me. While in my head I hope in the beginning that they will be right on in our dealings. And even confront them and explain my fears about past experiences, say to myself in my heart that this one will be different. And again but this time ever so much more painful than those in the past. I am disappointed and sit with myself now wondering why did that have to happen like that. And if he ever wonders or even cares about how his decision effected our future.
I don’t know my exact diagnosis, except psychosis is there and i’m super paranoid. And the voices all around me are closer than ever because they killed my little dog whom used to protect me from the flies. He is dead all because.of him and that’s my final answer on that issue. Occasionally he is one of the voices that ridicules me and laughs at the situation and obstacles that I have to deal with now. And when I hear hs laugh, I burn inside thinking about his words and actions. “I will pay you back,” I will pay you back,” I will pay you back.” It echoes in my head now and the paranoid side.of me says what did I get paid back for? Because he never paid for all the stinken work we did on his worthless pieces of property. And stinken is a true statement about this place. Garbage, dog feces and urine, human urine and blood left behind by the previous tenants. Our roommates. They were a pain in the ass and am glad not to have to associate with any longer. I ignore their phone calls and spead up to pass them on the roadside. Nothing about how I have to do that to them makes me feel good about myself. Except I guess it’s only to protect myself from the horror that has come from knowing them and meeting we’ll call him “peeping john.” And this ass of a being seen a opportunity to get some free work done on his house and took advantage of it. I believe that a situation will peak where the evil of the world decide to break off from how we are intended to be. Whether by an evil plot or a so called coincidence he has effected our lives negatively in zo many ways to such extreme measures. And I am deemed crazy, nuts, psycho, and out there. But I do not exaggerate about this situation.
Anyway I rambling and time is a waisting away. And we are probably either out of or just about to run out of a opportunity to be redeemed for what we had to deal with at our SLUMLORDS property. I don’t know law and I know he does so he is probably nervous right now because of some legal date that will leave him free and clear of his responsibility. And to pay for what he has done. And he will still have one more opportunity to affect our lives. He is our previous landlord and his comments to a unsuspecting potential property manager is a knot in my gut. And has been a worry of mine since I recall conversations with his smug ass about his previous dealings with prior tenants. He definitely has no discretion on what can and should be said about dealings in his property. I don’t know if there is a law against what his mouth has done, but in my opinion he should not be able to get away with anything he has SAID or DONE. And now I close this letter in hopes that it will reach a place in someone’s heart to fix what has been done. We are homeless and sick and tired. Literally sick, it brings me to tears as my friend sits and scratches the suspects that we have. I hope this letter will reach you and bring closure. If not at least it would have brought a little relief from venting what is worrying me inside. Our plague from now on.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
I’m nobody so goodbye or see you later
If interested I can produce what is necessary to prosecute “peeping john” for what is owed to us. Without a doubt!
I am living close to Huntsville/Conroe tx and the ‘person I am living with is evicting me for not accepting money for sexual exchange. I have 4 dogs and am needing a place that will allow me to have them. Can anyone help with any advice…GIVING UP MY DOGS IS NOT AN OPTION

I have been temporarally staying at an ex boyfriends in vancouver,wa . I am disabled, he has emotionally physically abused me.I have called the police over several times. Nothing changes, there are no shelters, I have no family to stay with. He grabbed me by the throat and tried to force me out the front door. I had my bags packed, I pleaded with him to help me get my things down the stairs I wanted out. I wasn’t going without my clothes and purse. I managed to break away and call 911. The police put him under arrest, than the landlady showed up. She says to the police she wants me trespassed from the apartment. Then the officer took off ex’s handcuffs and let him go back to stay in the apt! While I had to leave. Im so depaired. All of the shelters in four counties are full. I don’t know where to go or what to do.
What is more unsafe staying with someone who hurts you, when I am already hurting from a neck injury, but aman can stay comfortable on housing assistance(Section8) How absolutely sickening. However. I am a disabled older women and I cant get housing resourses.there are nearly enough resourses, there may be if these violators would suffer instead of the victims. Im disgusted,powerless in Oregon and Washington state.

Shelter staff went through my personal belongings and found two thyroid pills that were expired and over a yr old..mistakenly left there by me..I was not present when search was conducted..and kicked out for 30 days. .do I have any rights. ?
First things first: Without residing at that shelter and being able to use its address, do you have a way of keeping current on your thyroid medicine? Is there a clinic or homeless medical outreach service that provides it for you? If not, search on the Internet for the name of the medicine .com. Here is the pattern https://www.synthroid.com Navigate on your medicine’s site to the place where the manufacturer provides coupons to people who cannot afford to buy that drug. For Synthroid, that page is https://www.synthroid.com/registration/.
Regarding the fact that you were kicked out: It depends on the shelter’s policy. If they have a zero tolerance policy regarding drugs, the staff member may have had no choice but to kick you out. Still, write an appeal letter to the director of the shelter and the board of directors for that shelter or the organization supporting that shelter. In your appeal letter, explain that this is prescribed medicine and offer to provide a doctor’s note testifying that it was prescribed specifically for you. Note again that those pills were lost and forgotten among your stuff and that you were not intentionally bringing them into the shelter for any purpose. If you have time, go to a public library (actually, you could write this letter using the computers there) and find Physicians Desk Reference or another pharmaceutical directory and see if two pills of your thyroid medicine would really have been dangerous to anyone who used it without having a thyroid condition. If you have or know someone who has a wellness card at Right Aid, you can have an online chat with a pharmacist there to ask if there is any risk to accidentally taking one or two pills of that medication when the patient does not have a thyroid problem. If you find information showing that nobody was really at risk from your expired thyroid pills, you can say that in your appeal letter. Finish your appeal letter by saying that you hope the director will make an exception and let you return to the shelter immediately and that, if he or she will not let you back in the next 30 days, that he or she will help you to find another place to live.

1.Theres mold in my bathroom it was there before we even moved into the apartment… The manger kept yelling at us to clean it just by wiping it up with a ppaper towel we haven’t cleaned it because we feel its wrong considering it was there when they “repainted” and “cleaned” the place. So should we clean it or have the manager or do something about it?
2. When we moved in we saw a ton of damage we took pictures so it wouldn’t come back on us (hopefully) but what if it does?
3. They made my mom and I move into a one bedroom even though she has me all the time because my dad has me on his lease and hes never there he doesnt need a two bedroom when no one is there and im getting mad because I have no room for things my clothes nothing! Ive heard its illegal to share a room witch we kinda have to so what should we do?!… I understand this is a comment but if anyone reads it id be very happy if you emailed me your opinion or answers savannahw926@gmail.com
Is my employer allowed to ask me if I’m homeless even though I’m not
In communities that have homeless bills of rights, it is illegal for employers to discriminate on the basis of homelessness, but asking an employee if he is homeless is not the same as discriminating against him. In fact, it can be a first awkward way of beginning to offer him help. You can read more about homeless bills of rights at this page from the National Coalition for the Homeless. http://nationalhomeless.org/campaigns/bill-of-right/ Remember that people who ask rude questions have the same free speech rights as everyone else. https://www.aclu.org/free-speech

Hey, I am looking for a place in Arizona currently with my one year old child. Well, I have a place to stay for right now with my daughter but my friend however does not. I don’t want him on the streets, he’s a hard worker and idk where he could stay or what Arizona laws are like. He is in his 20s so no he isn’t a run away. We just have no family left to help us. Is there any half way homes or other resources like that on Arizona that would help him out till he can get on his feet?
I have been homeless since 1/15/2015.Never thought this would happen. Lived in a 3 bed 2 bath house for 23 yrs. My parents had it built on my grandfathers money in 1993. The same money they received when he built me a house in NJ. They took that one and sold it. I have raised my kids alone since 2006 and pretty much before that. My ex left in 2006. He moved in with a coworker he worked with for 12 yrs. They both are managers at a fast food place. Meanwhile my ex thought if he took my 18 yr old son in he would be rewarded. My son lives on a couch. He attends edison college here on scholarships.Has no car so doesn’t go to school when he doesn’t have a ride from naples. I am living in a 24 ft 1977 campe in a friend’s driveway. I have to move from here shortly. I have no where to go. Disability pays 700 a month. Rent around here is 1200 +. I just had 2 surgeries in the last 2 weeks. I have heart disease type 2 diabetes rheumatoid arthritis,memory loss vision loss.I have arthritis badly in my back. My cat died on 3/10 2 minutes after I got him to the vet. I need a piece of land to put my camper on until I can scavenge what I can to build a cabin.The agencies here do not care and I was denied section 8 due to the low income I have. Who would have thought my life would be so unstable after managing for years to keep up? So in a short while, I will be living in my car with my other cat as I cannot afford the insurance to register my camper.I do not have a place to park it. I have no sewer no water. This is not how people should live in the U.S. Something must be done. I am hoping for a walking dead scenario so that everyone can all be on the same playing field. And survive with the wits they have. I live each day in complete fear, which causes more stress, which causes more health problems. What a vicious circle. Oh well… My life doesn’t mean anything anyway. Hopefully I will be dead soon. Then the stress will be gone.
Were your surgeries done in hospitals? If they were, contact the social work department in the hospital and tell them that you need help finding housing. If these were doctors’ office surgeries or the hospital social work department can’t help you, contact a local homeless assistance agency. To find one of those local agencies, navigate from this list https://www.hudexchange.info/grantees/?granteesaction=main.searchresults&programid=3 that HUD provides.
Not certain, but I think this is the link she wanted to share: https://www.hudexchange.info/grantees/?granteesaction=main.searchresults&programid=3
Yes, you’re right. Thanks.
i have been homeless for 3years now i been looking for a plave but cant find one i can afford i am on ssi is there any one in martinez ca who have places for rent please let me no cause i dont think i can do this much longer thank you juanita
Leave California. People on SSI simply can not afford to live in this state anymore.
Back in 2007 I had an encounter with some crazy Tenderloin asshole that tried to steal my backpack while I was walking home from work at 3 am. It turned out to be a bloody incident as I got stabbed with a syringe and pieces of broken bottle while trying to keep this guy from taking my bag. In 2009 I was diagnosed with HIV. My whole life was destroyed…my gf left me, I had to get on SSI in order to be able to qualify for medical so I could get meds that cost about 3700 a month. I quickly discovered that I had no safety net as I have no family to speak of, all of my friends had been told by my ex gf about my condition and no longer associated with me and there were really no resources to help. Ive spent the last 5 years in a constant state of homelessness and misery. I live in California and have found no actual resources to find stable, healthy and safe housing. Nothing is affordable. I was living out of my car until an undocumented, unlicensed, uninsured driver smashed the rear end 5 days ago. Ive spent my last $100 on a hotel room for tonight to get warm and shower…after this, who knows. Im exhausted…i dont have the juice to keep doing this thing anymore.
My fiance and I have been kicked out of our place for a rediculous reason and have nowhere to turn. I’m trying to find a way to get into a motel and have help with 2 related payed. We both have jobs but because of bills and the people we stayed with we have nothing. We have a vehicle to get to and from work However we have little gas left. We sleep in our car in an old run down grocery store and need help. We have no food and have tried food stamps but to no avail. No one to turn too no Food no help, not even a pointer in the right direction. If there is anyone anyone at all out there willing to help me and my pregnant fiance pleas it will mean everything to me. I can’t sorry by and watch my fiance go through this and feel like I’m not able to contribute. I don’t know if there is anyone who checks this site but everything at this point is worth my effort to change my situation. For anyone out there who actually pays attention to this sitems I am sorry to be the one to ask for help but I am in great need of it. Anything at all. Sincerely Danny. (435)-919-8998.salt lake city Utah.
Can you help me with resources I am a single disabled woman 51 years old hospitalized 3 times in San mateo county ca. No one is helping me. I am homless
Thank you
I moved in with a women I know because she went to court , and was about to get evicted , so I helped her she said she pit my name on rent book , I found out she hasn’t , I’ve done up the house for her and GT her back on her feet , now she wants me to leave , I done nothing wrong to her , I’ve been used I see that , she said she have me removed , don’t know what to do , my question is do I have any rights , I don’t want to become homeless again
If someone is living under someone else’s roof, and that someone is 100percent disabled, and that someone else is the payee, can that someone else be be able to kick that someone out of the house ?Now mind you that, that someone is living under the payee ‘s roof, but that someone pays all the bills that, that someone accumulates, and then some…but yet doesn’t want to be ridiculously tore apart..
If you can prove you have been staying there you might have some rights. Maybe mail you get there or anyone who knows you have been staying there. They might have to evict you like a regular tenant. You should check with legal aid to see what your state’s laws are and how the particular circumstances may apply.
They have been living there and paying bills for more than 5years ,but just recently got approved for disability last summer. So what would the status be if this person has been paying all these years, and now that they have been approved for disability, the other person wanted to kick them out, like right now,but this happens on a regular basis…The other person likes to argue all the time, Sorry, but it’s true, and this person cares but, the other creates so much turmoil,and drama…
Homeless as if tomorrow, had a strike back in dec. Have one child. He worked and was layed off. I homeschooled our son. We git evicted after i had the stroke and moved in with our neighbors, now landlord said we cant stay here. How can we stay together as a family when all the shelters only let me and my son stay?
Hello, I live in California and lived with my dad. Who currently skip town on me just in time of receiving a 60 day notice of the place we currently live at. I don’t know what to do. I know I can’t afford to pay any fees if I don’t move out in enough time and I’d be force to leave anyhow. I work only part time and go to school. I am going through a whirl of emotions. I could really use help and guidance.

It sounds like you need a full-service social work agency, but start by finding your local homeless support organization and telling them that you need safe immediate housing and help arranging long-term housing. If that link doesn’t work, use this one https://www.hudexchange.info/homelessness-assistance/resources-for-homeless-persons/ and navigate to “homeless assistance.”
Hello I’m Kristena, in with ny boyfriend we are above 18 years. Of age and was needing help with My car. Email me to help out thank you and I will greatly appreciate it. We are living in my car.
I live in India . My father worked in up police department as sub inspector . Our family has got a house allotted by the department . My father died in 2006 when he was on the duty and had gone in the search of some criminals. We ve not got any kind of relief from the department. Now they even want us to leave that apartment . We have no other place to live. Helps me please . I feel like dying. I can’t see my mother crying.
I don’t know where else to turn but wonder if someone can help me. I live in Scotland and my boyfriend lives in the States. He has went through a period where he has suffered ill health after undergoing surgery. This has lead to him suffering from depression. He has lost his job and his home. His step mother loves him dearly and would love for him to stay with her- she has recently lost her husband so it would help her too. He could come to Scotland and stay with me. He has friends he could stay with. However, he has moved into a homeless shelter in Atlanta. He says he does not want to be a burden on others. I am going out of my mind with worry. What do I say to him to persuade him that he is loved, that he has friends and family willing to support him and that there is an alternative to the path he is taking at the moment.
It sounds like he feels sad and unloved. Here is an idea for finding him some local friends. The Saint Andrews Society of Atlanta is a networking organization for people with connections to Scotland. Maybe you could get in touch with that group and ask if some of those families could invite your boyfriend for dinner sometimes or bring him along on activities or help him find help coping with his depression. Since he is already in a shelter, he probably has access to a social worker, but check on that. Contact the shelter, tell them what he is really like when he is well, and let them know that you are available to give information that corrects and clarifies messages that they are only getting through your boyfriend’s cloud of sadness.
My husband likes to slap me around and put a gun to my face telling me he is gonna kill me.We live in an apt. Rent was due in the beginning of the month I guess we owe 230.00 left he hasn’t been here in2 days he staying with one of his girlfriends I am sure I have no money and no were to what do I do
You could look up places to go for battered women. There are things for people who are in that kind of potentially dangerous situation. But you need to be ready to get away from that.
One thing I learned in life is to love what makes you happy and to cherish every moment you spend with your family, friends or love ones because everything that we have now on earth is temporary. Well, thank you for inspiring us with your great art work.

There are all kinds of housing resources in Philadelphia, not just those shelters. Here is the city’s Housing Resource Guide. This guide even lists the suburban housing authorities in case you want to get out of the city. You might start by contacting the housing authorities to ask about low cost housing options. There are a couple of HUD-funded programs through which you can shop for an apartment of your choice. Here is the contact information for the Philadelphia Housing Authority:

I am a sick single mom with 4 kids n were living in a hotel in VA Beach. Is there any organizations that can help us. I’m filing for disability. I had back surgery in Oct 2014 I’ve had mrsa 3 times. Basically in n out of hospital since November of 2014. If anyone knows any organizations that can help us get into an apartment or something please help us. Thank you
Here is the Virginia Housing Authority’s information for renters. Find out about short-term emergency financial assistance for your family through the Homeless Prevention Program.
Im currently in a shelter. The cook and the staff went into my room when the mother of my child and i was not present. I told the shelter prior that i did not want no staff going into my room without my consent. Regarding that fact, they waited until we left and took a t.v that was donated to us from the shelter. Can i take legal action?
If you have a lease and that lease prohibits shelter staff from entering without your permission, you can bring a breach of contract claim. If the shelter rules include any statements about when and why staff can enter rooms, then those rules count as a contract and you have the right to file a legal claim to enforce your rights under those rules. If the lease or the rules say that you have to mediate or arbitrate disagreements, then you do have to use those dispute resolution methods rather than suing in court. Regarding the TV: You can file a stolen property report with the police, and they might investigate that report, but they might not charge any staff members with the crime–especially if they are not convinced that you owned the TV.
I am the family member of a single bipolar woman living in a private shelter in metro Atlanta.She has shared with me the abuse taking place in the shelter. The founder refuses to allow the female residents with young children to seek employment. He is extremely controlling and exhibits narcissitic behavior. He yells and curses at the women when the children are not around. He eats very well but allows the women and children to eat cold pizza with spoiled salad twice a week. He constantly threatens to put the women out on the street. The shelter is listed as a ministry but is a shelter. The women are distraught and feel they have no hope. The man who runs this shelter gets contributions from churches and is so holy when visitors are on the property.The men in the ministry reside at another location they have access to a kitchen and can purchase and prepare meals with their SNAP food stamp cards. My friend has given her SNAP card to purchase food but the food was purchased and taken to another location. What can be done to expose this behavior since it is a private shelter. Thousands of dollars are donated to the shelter by chuches yet the women and children go lacking of basic meals except during special holidays. Food donated is not given to the women and children unless local restaraunts go and serve the food themselves.
Recently the founder was recorded by someone and he will not allow cell phone use in the building. The women must submit to being frisked before entering the dinning area and the sanctuary for cell phones. Anyone attempting to bring a cell phone into the area where the founder is speaking will be put out on the street. So much more! What can be done to expose this evil man!!
You can contact the county health department to inspect the spoiled food. The state department of human services would probably be the entity to investigate misuse of residents’ SNAP cards, though you might also file a complaint with the state attorney general’s office just to be thorough. These claims will particularly credible if multiple residents tell about their experiences when the investigators come to check on the place.
I am currently homeless on the streets of Austin Texas. Everyone has choices in life and I chose mine. I am not coming to you all today in need of assistance for God gives me everything I need. My heart goes out to a lot of you in the homeless community because as I read your words I can actually feel your pain. I’ve traveled and stayed in shelters all over the country and met some of the most outstanding people in world with no place to lay their heads. Since my heart’s been filled with the love of God It hurts me to see you all struggle. I pray for your happiness and may you all get to where you want to be in life.
every 4 yrs i have to travel to louisiana because its the only state i can get id in, and i have no way to get a passport either or an id in the state i live. lousiana only gives me one since i once lived there and am in the system i just give them a motel address im at at the time i go to renew an id every 4 yrs shortly before it expires. i also have a social security card. i cannot prove my US citizenship because i wasnt born in the USA and KS refused me a state id, even when i appeared at the DMV with my mother. my mother filed a counselor report of birth abraod, but the govt has no record of the paperwork and its lost for decades. the legal paperwork to fix this so i can get ID in other states besides louisaina i was told cost $1080 and i dont have the money for that. who can help? ive lived in the USA ever since i was 1.
If your parents really did have a consular report of birth abroad, then you can order a replacement copy for $50. http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/abroad/events-and-records/birth/replace-or-amend-consular-report-of-birth-abroad.html If the State Department does not have a record of that, though they probably will, you can file for a Certificate of Citizenship which costs $600. All of the relevant facts and links about that form and being born in a foreign country and raised here are at http://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-parents. Either of these processes should be relatively easy for you since you have a Social Security record which substantiates your connection to your parents.
well the issue is my mom and I contacted the govt office for this, and they cannot find any record of the paperwork ever being done, and mom swore she registered me when she drove me across the montana border in 1970 but dont remember the city. my dad had just died and she was under a lot of stress. and im way too poor to afford the $600, is there a place that can help with paying the $600 if its required? i was thinking it was $1080
I was in the KEY program for five yrs in nc. The mgmt did the inspection of my apt, i passed perfectly. Two weeks later I had a letter to vacate on my apartment door. It claimed that I was involved in illegal activity. I have lupus, had been in hospital and then skilled nursing. The letter did not say what kind of illegal activities..
The mgr filed eviction and I went through legal aid. The atty said we could go to court and I could keep my apartment but i knew there were some new key apts under construction, so mgr. Dropped the eviction. .this all began may 2014, it’s now April 2015and i’m still homeless. Everywhere i apply this former mgr says awful things about me and tells them.she evicted me. No mention that it was dropped. I suffer from bipolar 2, compliant with my meds plus the lupus, diabetes, high bp, thyroid issues and severe arthritis .
I have even been rejected by local homeless shelter because i am too sick physically.
I keep reading about this PATH program and the permanent supportive housing formerly shelter plus. I am very resourceful but have been hitting brick walls for nearly a year. I see that there’s help for people coming out of prison but what about a 53 yr old grandma? I’m in NC, would someone please help me find out what to do, the public housing where I live is refurbishing all the apts in the projects, not taking applications for three yrs. I do have family in FL, no one i could live with but i have got to have a place in permanent supportive housing. I only receive ssi $733 per month. Thank you
Myself, my husband, dog and 2 adult children are about to be homeless. I’ve been unable to work because of an injury to my foot. My husband suddenly lost his job on Good Friday. My one adult son is employed, we only have one car so getting everyone to jobs is impossible, but my other son was getting his car on the road. All this has happened so suddenly we go to eviction court tomorrow n have at best until 5/1 after that we have no where to go. Family can not help. We will all be homeless. I live in Cecil County MD n would like to know what I should do. I’ve been a tenant here for 10 yrs and never have been in evictions before. Please tell me someone can help
Anyone familiar with how trespassing law work in las Vegas?
Here what happened…. My cousin and her family along with my family were squatting in a house. She got 5 kids I got 2. I got a real 9-5 job so its not like we were poor. We just couldn’t afford to pay rent at the prices apartment charge if you got an eviction. Anyways we mind our own business everyday till recently neighbors started gluing our mailbox, posting letters about us squatting and calling us scums. All of our utilities are legally paid and connected. Then the cops started showing up.
To make a long story short they surrounded the house and asked me to come out. It was me, my 5 years old And my boyfriend. Well I walked out and followed every direction the cop gave. He was cool and didn’t handcuff me or my bf. They went in and double checked to see if there was anyone else. In the end all the adults got a ticket for trespassing and locked out with all of our stuff still inside.
MY QUESTION IS CAN THEY KEEP OUR STUFF ? PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS
Even though you did not have legal possession of that house, the contents that you brought into it are still your legal property. There is a legal procedure in your county through which evicted tenants are able to get their stuff back, but at least evicted tenants had a legitimate right to put their stuff in the place, so this exact procedure might not work for you. Do you know who the building owners are? If not, see if you can find them using http://www.411.com or http://www.switchboard.com. Those online directories enable you to search by address and obtain the owners’ phone number. If that research does not get you a phone number that works, you will at least have a name to work with. If you get no information from that search, you might be able to get the owners’ contact information from the police report. If that doesn’t work, go to the deeds office and look it up. Once you know how to reach the owners, contact them and ask how you can get your things back from them. This is not a legal process; it is just a normal interaction between people. Maybe they can arrange for a friend to accompany one of you while you go inside and get everything out. If you feel uncomfortable calling or you get a bad reaction from the owner when you call, contact the Clark County Neighborhood Justice Center to ask about free mediation.
If all else fails, it can’t hurt to try the legal process. The process involves filing a “motion to contest personal property lien and for return of personal property.” The court provides a free online form for this motion. Here are the instructions for that form. Since you were never the legal tenant at that property and you were not evicted, this form and this process are not exactly worded for your situation, but a judge might grant an order to make the owners give you your possessions. Read more details about this legal process and get help from the Clark County Neighborhood Justice Center.

All this talk of being homeless but living in a motel amazes me!! I would be grateful to have the money to stay in a motel!!! I’m 51 and in my car and I hate it and its ugly but oh well. Oregon is horrible and treats people like shit!! Ironic because I used to work for the homeless shelters around here too and have many years in outreach services. It’s easy to get anything for someone else but not so easy for myself!!! Oregon (Salem) is great at judging and greed but I would rather be in my car with the windows up and not hear it, then to be belittled, treated like a vagabond, or looked down upon as if i mean nothing and am just a waste…and with my animals, who people say just give them up…. just for them to be put down when they are the ones who have been there unconditionally? No way! It’s not their fault and I would never do that to them just to save stress!! I raised 4 kids on my own and never went homeless and welfare didnt pay much but it helped when I needed it. The reason people can’t find places is because we are picky and that’s our right but it doesn’t always help the situation! I don’t want a room somewhere in a strangers home, I don’t want to stay with a man and be pressured or forced into “favors”, I do not want to stay in a shelter!! There are a few options though and we choose not to pursue them from embarrassment. When you look for a house, get out and look, don’t just rely on Craigslist…. That’s where everyone is looking! You’ll get the places that you don’t see posted!! Go to apartment complexes, get a housing list even if you are not on housing, post where ever you can what you are looking for/your needs… Including Craig’s and every bulletin board you can find! DO NOT post your damn picture with your request for help!!!!!!!!!!! You’re just asking for trouble and how stupid!!! Don’t use your kids as a bargaining tool either! These agencies that get all this money to help people are greedy jerks and rarely help anyone but they do help when there are kids involved and its offensive to me when people with kids say no one helps… They do help if you pursue it but it won’t just come to you. Look for it and work for it!! This is my story and trust me, I have looked and I have called! It’s crap!!! Oregon is a greedy turn your back state that is unjust and it is easier to turn their backs then to make a difference. I have not gotten any help for over 25 but to ask for anything, even gas to drive around and help fix the problem, is a time consuming process and they act like you are habitual and a waste of their time! I have never been in this position and I own my own little transport company that I started to help people that can’t afford taxi services to get around!! The buses here don’t run on the weekends and hours are limited so its hard on so many. But anyway…. My story and wouldn’t you know, I posted it on Craig’s in the local news section and not one person responded!!! Not one!!……FORWARDED: CLsalem >community >local news and views

Mentally Exhausted !!
People need to know and realize that although life can be great for some, ok for some, and a struggle for too many, those struggles do not always mean that person is an addict, no good, a loser, lazy, careless, a user or abuser, habitual, or incapable. I need to share this story and whether you choose to listen or not, just don’t be so quick or hasty to judge your neighbor, your teachers, your “McDonalds” employee, your Courtesy Clerks/Cart Pushers, your fellow church goers, your co-workers, or even some of those PEOPLE on the corner of the street!!! Many of us used to be someone… Someone you felt worthy of smiling at or saying a quick hello to, someone you trusted your kids to, someone you trusted your meals to, or maybe even the someone who wished you a good day and acknowledged your existence even when you “forgot” to acknowledge ours! I am not a bum, an addict, a user or abuser!! I am not perfect but I do the best I can and no matter what, I still do unto others, find that second to acknowledge you even when I’m down! I listen, whether I know you or not, and I care that people treat each others right…. It’s really that simple. I grew up beaten, battered, kicked, molested, degraded, drugged, bruised from head to toe, and as a toy for my fathers sick and twisted sense of humor. He was a police officer for the State of California and I was still proud of him and maintained a sense of respect and admiration. I set my bar high… Sometimes too high…. But nothing hurt as bad as I beat myself up when I failed. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway I see now because if he was going to “get me”, he would have no matter how careful I was, how obedient, or how high I set that bar. I graduated Salutatorian, was in Who’s Who, went to Girls’ State, served on a Juvenile Justice Board as the first student rep ever, I won the American Legion Award, along with a few others. As an adult, I dedicated my life to helping empower others. I ran for a seat on City Council. Was a Customer Service Manager for Walmart for 8 years, won a Distinguished Service Award for outstanding service to my communities. I was hit not once or twice by drunk drivers, but three times!! Have a year to go even for my Bachelors Degree!! I wear my heart on my sleeve and get kicked in the ass everytime I turn around!!! But I am always still dependable and there to help because its who I am! I bought a home when my father died with what he left me so I could raise my kids with stability… I was pushed out of my home when Creekside Golf Club was built…. Just to fail. I bought a mobile home and two years later found out the man I was paying never actually owned the title and the park manager was involved as well, I had to move and they got all my money as well as the trailer back!!! I found an adorable rental, a year later discovered the landlord was ready to lose it to foreclosure for nearly 10 years of unpaid taxes and several years of failing to pay the house payments!! Again, I was forced to move. In the meantime now I’m forced into my car and began running back and forth from Silverton to Grants Pass to help my mother who is in her final weeks of life from cancer, and my friend and her husband who both have medical issues but he has no kidneys and is on dialysis constantly as well as in and out of the hospital nearly every week. I have committed a kidney if we match and hope that he will get to the point he needs to be soon and strong enough for surgery to accept a new kidney and recover. The icing on the cake came today…. I have had little time and fight left to find a home and a place to belong. I heard a friend moved so I left a note for her landlord saying I was interested in renting the home should he decide its available to rent. He, a wonderful older man who impressed me with all his skills and knowledge, called me the next day and by the evening I had a great new landlord and finally, a new home and all those awesome feelings of hope and thanking The Lord for having a hand. The home was destroyed from last tenants and I have spent the last entire 4 days and nights buying supplies, cleaning it, scrubbing, picking up piles of feces, dead mice, dried up food, and garbage, and working until I couldn’t even move and my hands and feet were swollen! I have asthma also so have had several attacks over these days. Today I got a call from the landlords daughter who has informed me that they have decided not to rent the house out after all because “it is causing some serious family issues/rivalry/chaos”…whatever and although she is just “sick to her stomach and so sorry and words aren’t enough”, there is nothing she can do. So, I’ve been given till the end of the week to be out. I am just beside myself and down about as far and as low as I can be. I don’t understand at all how anyone could do such a thing and I probably never will. I ask that God help me to understand how its fair or why anyone would think its ok to do to someone and I have to admit that Im struggling hard on this one. I used all my money basically to pay to clean and prepare a strangers house for nothing!!! they expect me to just walk away and be grateful for a week of “free rent!!”. Are you kidding me?? 56 hours of cleaning myself, 16 hours from my grand daughter and 15 from a friend!!! a “free week”??? Wow!!! I have no words!! ….. I even reached out to every point I could when I had to move due to the foreclosure thing and I drove literally every area within 50 miles of Salem, and posted from Salem to Redding… Nothing! No help at all even from these agencies that get funds to help. Many wouldnt even return my calls. I have never asked for help and that alone is very difficult……. I’m not begging here ok, I just want others to understand that things are not always as easy as they may seem. It’s pretty sad out here actually and even harder when your depression has depression!!!!
You’re so right depression having depression. You really get to know people only, if you need a part time job.
The people in social sevice’ & homeless rights stink like dead skunk. You have to be your own advocate & social worker.
What a experience from NJ/NY and Pennsylvania no better. You can have the drive of motivation. They make sure to inflate your tires.
If, I had financial stability motel will be my first option. They help men faster than woman.
I had a lot to offer NY they were interested. HRA stated couldn’t work and rest slam door crew, even a lawyer due to a bad fall in January.
No one hear you, WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE even the church.
I asked church in MontclairNj for flash drive to scan my documents. They hand me application for assistance for months led me on & denied application. The deacon stated you can go to library & stay outside to make a long story short. Essex county st8 nasty as hell.
I hear you I’ve stayed at motel but my husband would work day and nite for a $45.00 room day and nite Monday thou Sunday I would go help him just so he would get something to drink .working for them indian family’s they don’t care about anyone just care about making money so that’s how we were able to stay In a motel and it was no vacation staying there we had the worst room and more but I’m so sorry to hear everything that has happen to u and I believe it be there done that but someone that hasn’t been there wouldn’t even believe something like this can happen oya it does happen we just don’t stand there holding a sine for everyone to see .. Well I hope the best for u hope something good comes your way soon I’ll pray for u …….. Janet
I’ve been on the streets for 15 years….I know how to build stuff, fix stuff, survive…..very resourceful …..I have a college education and am still fairly healthy…..
But when it comes to asking the government to help you get out of a bad spot or bad weather …omg…..
The law gives no mercy whatsoever and those that enforce it, would rather house a ratdog, than take in a hurting human being…..
Fighting the ” feelings” of injustice are different than begging the law for a fighting chance….I would never, being homeless, put a law in place to dispose of the homeless….the rich are supremely qualified to hire the guns to put you away. You, homeless, is ME, homeless….
I will tell you honestly, the wealthy are out to dispose of the transient….if you can’t cut it– well, out ya go……
Enough of this Law stuff about the homeless…. Don’t ever describe yourself as homeless— we are citizens and we demand respect in fellowship with the structure of this land…..The shaming by authority and blaming and false hope rhetoric is insulting….
Train yourselves to have worth…..most homeless have learned hard lessons about brotherly existence—- more than the wealthy power structure have, esp. in creating any law “for” the “homeless”!
I very much appreciate what you had to say. I agree with you, and I have been homeless (at least technically) most of my adult life. Only by the grace of God am I still alive. I am finally back inside four walls again. I never had to live on the streets but have been mobile homeless for years of and on, before that I lived on couches and floors of friends. I like the fact that you pointed out that a person has to look for options and find options themselves because no one is going to come looking for you. Anyhow thanks for sharing.

I am homeless ALSO. My house got foreclosed on in February, 2015, and someone bought it immediately. Now I have 4 weeks to move and nowhere to go and no family, no one to help. I work. For the 10yrs. I lived in my house, I never was late or missed a payment for the first 8yrs. Then, I ran into a hardship and when I looked up, I had been denied for a modification 7 times, never received the paperwork for a mediation or anything. When I look up the realtors that bought my house, was changing the lock while I still reside there. Is that legal? Then they asked me, “how soon can I vacate the property?” I need somewhere to live. I work for The City of Baltimore. Any suggestions?

As a city employee, you are eligible for a special housing funding program. http://www.baltimorehousing.org/homeownership_employee Here is a full compilation of Baltimore Housing support information. http://www.baltimorehousing.org/about_us Hopefully several of the different offices will be able to help you quickly.
Stay strong because this system it out to destroy you. Do not take it personal. I hope you get around the right people for direction going up or turn around. Do not trust no man in these shelter’s, be careful of people calling themselves advocate’s working for the oppressors
Many of these shelters get payments from the government and require you deal with them. The same people whose lack of help cause so many to go in the shelters in the first place. And if you don’t get that money the shelters are not so interested in you anymore. You are right, they are often not advocates at all.
I moved into a house and the people that own it will not reply or answer any questions about the house. I moved in and the neighbors keep calling the police on me . I’m being threaten by the cops that I have to leave even tho I keep up the property and have mail and water in my name. Can anyone tell me anything on this? Thanks

I’m mad as hell. I’ve been on the streets for 14 years…..the rich in this country deserve nothing but a civil war….. How much shit can you blame the poor for until they rise up and fight? I’ve worked my soul to the bone trying to pay the landowner his overpriced rent……I’ve helped build 2 million dollar homes, and I can’t even get a break on my taxes for living under the poverty line!….I’m holding down a job, that in most other parts of the country, would buy me a house! 10 bucks an hour doesn’t even keep me indoors for a week! Who the Fuk is buying this land and enslaving the population? Now I know the American Indian was right to never surrender!!!!!
Kindly, I ll like to know….
What rights people have being in this type of hardship. My question to the lawyer set up this blog.
Why do social security give drug addicts their SSI/SSD faster, hmmmm
Even though you may know of addicts whose disability cases seemed to go through more quickly than other cases, the only way that the Social Security regulations distinguish addicts from other disability applicants is that they do not identify one set of physical changes as characteristic symptoms of addiction. Instead, they indicate that someone with an addiction can only be considered disabled if the addiction has impacted that person in exactly the way one of several disabling impairments would affect somebody. The “listing of impairments” that qualify people for disability benefits is in 20 CFR Pt.404 Subpt. P Appendix 1. Listing 12.09 is about addiction disorders. Read it and you will see how it cross references other impairments.
Here is the regulation:
12.09 Substance Addiction Disorders: Behavioral changes or physical changes associated with the regular use of substances that affect the central nervous system.
The required level of severity for these disorders is met when the requirements in any of the following (A through I) are satisfied.
A. Organic mental disorders. Evaluate under 12.02.
B. Depressive syndrome. Evaluate under 12.04.
C. Anxiety disorders. Evaluate under 12.06.
D. Personality disorders. Evaluate under 12.08.
E. Peripheral neuropathies. Evaluate under 11.14.
F. Liver damage. Evaluate under 5.05.
G. Gastritis. Evaluate under 5.00.
H. Pancreatitis. Evaluate under 5.08.
I. Seizures. Evaluate under 11.02 or 11.03.
I am not to sure what I am responding to via email…..
But, here’s the beef…..
I am not a disease because I am poor. I want the police and government to understand ….every person reading this:
At any given moment you can end up homeless! At any second, no matter how you’ve hedged your bets and planned every step……you ” might” have to give a sht about the person next to you…..
I work IN the legal system….and the humanity is leaving this planet…..you are a number and a system and a disease to the government….be very diligent about staying aware of your very life….be concerned about what is important without overreacting to hype and unfair judgment….try not to be angry, but sober and reasonable….you will know when to fight back….its ok to be poor…its ok…make the effort to be human, when the system lacks truth…..

I am a 36 year old single mother of 2 and we are homeless. My daughters are 1 and 5. Ive begged for help from this place and that place for months and ive been passed off to so many different people that dont do anything to help me. I get a sheet of paper with phone numbers for shelters and subsidized housing, half of the numbers being out of date. Im scared and tired and worried for my children. I feel almost like weve been lied to and swept under the rug. I feel like we should have some rights. I am a convicted felon, but im not a bad person. Im a different person than I used to be, im a mother. I need help. Im on the verge of a nervous breakdown and my girls deserve better.

I am in las Vegas and I have been looking for work since I was falsely accused in November 2014. And spent 24 days in jail because I could not post bond ibwas advised to take plea to get out and get my job back. I did and my job of course let me go. Unemployment denied. And I have been relying on family and now my daughter lost her job and try n to stop college to help me. I have 17, year old son that we all are now in a budget suits that will lock our door by noon today unless I pay for a week $299 and I have nothing . I also believe in God , but how can I keepy faith in times like this. I went from being a working mom to being less of a person to me and them . no help here since I took that charge I have to pay fees before they will even transfer me.
Hi , I’m currently in a home with 3 other families and the person who owns the home threatens us by saying they will take things away from us such as the fridge and microwave if things arent met to her standards but doesn’t buy us cleaning supplies is that legal?
My name is mario i’m 24 years old i have no kid’s no felonies .,I’m from North Carolina and i’m homeless and do general work I’ve been homeless now for a week now., i’m seeking to get out of this situation in get me a house or room
Here’s my dilema, so i lived in these low income subsidized apartments, my manager lives there too. And so does my mom, well I had my own place for two months in which case I got evicted a month of being there for “failure to turn in my food stamp paperwork” and whAt that has to do with my lease is beyond me, so last week I moved out and into my moms apartment me and my daughter (19months old). My mom then calls me a week later to tell me the manager came over in a angered fashion to tell her I have to leave Monday by 8:00 am or cops would be called all over the fact that I went back into my old apartment to get my baby’s crib and no damage or vadilism. The door wAs left unlocked and I tried over and over to reach him before hand for permission after he sAid he’d let me. Now I’m homeless and my daughter has to stay w my mom. My question is, how can he get away with this if he’s got no proof of me going in there? And what can I do? I believe there’s something or some law so if anyone knows anything please let me know!!

Can someone please help me. My boyfriend is tired of me saying I can’t ..pretty please. Email me any help at rissaboo92792@gmail.com. thank u in advance
Pride goes before destruction, according to scripture. Might want to think about that. Also, your dad wasn’t ripped off you were. So somehow it is a matter of pride to enable your mother to steal. i don’t get it.
Not entirely sure what went on there, but I think you also don’t have it clear. Sounds like she was pretty clearly victimized. I think the pride comment was just an admission of the difficulty it is to own up to being in such situations. I don’t know if it had anything to do with her getting in the situation. I think she should have called the police on her mother, though. That might get the ball rolling toward getting her identity back.
You apparently don’t have a very good comprehension level when you read. My point was that if pride stops you from dealing with a situation it is not a good thing. If you got anything else out of it, it is not my fault. Read ALL the words in the post I responded to and in my response, and when you do understand then comment.
@Rex King. “Pride goes before destruction” was pretty clear. Certainly clear that it was not a sympathetic response since you had nothing helpful to offer her in regards to her comment. Perhaps in the future you will contribute something positive or at least not insult people who try to get clarification. If you read my comment you would see that I was not clear on the matter and thought clarification would be helpful. Your guilty conscience is not my problem. The Bible says not to judge people so keep that in mind before you make assumptions.
@Rex King. Also, “So somehow it is a matter of pride to enable your mother to steal. i don’t get it.” I don’t get it either. What is that about?
I was referring to pushing people away who want to help you, like by stealing from them. What is your issue blogchow? Do you think she should be stolen from? My point was that her mother gets no help if she enables her. I speak from experience, Didn’t see you offering any advice or words to her so how does this affect you? What is your point, if any? Or do you just hate Christianity and the Bible like so many today, even though all they know about either comes from television shows and movies made by Hollywood who hate anything traditional on account of they live like hell all the time and don’t want anyone disagreeing with them, not to mention no Bibles in Hollywood like Leno said once.
The real message I was trying to get across was that you shouldn’t let family pride stand in the way of your family paying dues. It is a feudal tradition that needs to end, dating back to the nobility who would shield their families from the consequences of their actions. The French Revolution came out of families enabling their wastrels and worse to continuing to support their self destructive behaviour. If you keep on doing what you’ve always done you’ll keep on getting what you’ve always got. My sister was a junkie, my favourite sister. There was a pint i just had to let go and let her hit bottom. She is off heroin and working a job and owns a house now. If we had enabled her she would still be on dope.
I notice she didn’t get bent out of shape and say so on here, you did. I believe in consequences for people’s actions, good or bad. DO you?
I spent about thirteen years in outreach ministry where we helped people who were so far down some, one of them was referred to us by a cop because he was living under a bridge, that they couldn’t see up. with no strings; on my own money. I have actually seen what I’m talking about in action, have you? I grew up when they were rationalizing behaviour and it is just that, making excuses for your actions. What have you done to give back to your community? I have volunteered at homeless shelters and community outreaches to at risk kids. Like I said what have you done. You opened the ball.
Blogchow here is a quote from the original post “But my pride is the problem…”
A man married a wife lawfully and after three days the woman ran away with another and after four years her genuine husband has pleaded with her to come back but to no avail and decided to marry a second wife, what then with happened to the first wife when she finally comes back.,? And did the man committed a sin for marrying second wife instead of waiting for her? Answers according to the bible
Matthew 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
It would seem if the wife ran off with another man that she committed adultery then the husband is clean if he divorces her and marries another, it works the same way for women. It should be said that Jesus was talking to Jews who were under the Mosaic law, not gentiles who came in later. Sounds like the wife made her bed and now she gets to sleep in it. God frowns on adultery.
Exodus 20:14 “You shall not commit adultery. (Ten Commandments)
Leviticus 20:10 “If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. (now this was written in the Mosaic Law and the death penalty was only for the Nation of Israel, however God frowns on adultery and it is a good yardstick to measure what God’s view is on adultery)
Now God will forgive, and people can forgive, but there is no “forgive and forget in scripture. Forgiving yes, but forgetting sets you up to be taken advantage of and God did not intend his people to live wasting their time and money just to “turn the other cheek”. Turning the other cheek refers to insult, not injury.
Hope this helps you out, I used to be a minister but health problems…
In any case i have tried to answer your question as scripturally a possible..
I’m looking for a vet who needs a home I have big house they could come and live here with me and help me out in my house if interested contact me so we can talk.
I need someone 2 help me plz my dad wants 2 put me out and I have no where 2 go
Where are you? It is hard for people to help if they have no clue what city or state you are in.
I let my friend stay with me for a few weeks, who proceeded to steal money from me. I live in New York. Do you know how long I have to keep her clothes, before I can legally toss them?
Thanks for your time,
Meka
New York State laws about abandoned property are at http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/nycode/ABP/13. If you don’t find anything relevant there, browse through the New York City Code http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/nycode/ADC or the municipal code for the city that you live in.
Hey there,
I’m actually from upstate New York and I know the laws are completely different. Is there a site you know that states how long I have to keep her stuff according to Rochester New York law?
Thanks again
Yes hi im disabled and living in my car. And im only getting 750 a month and i would like to by a small camper 10 to 15 feet. And thats because i all ready picked up a 2013 toyota carolla and im paying 300 a month and im going to pull the camper with it since i don’t have a choice. But its beter than sleeping in the car and looking up in the air. Any ways i don’t have a place to put it yet but i can put it in the parking lot of mcdonalds. And since im going for a 400 doller junk for now. I was hoping that what ever is wrong with it i can get a Grant since its my house.
I also wanted to say that once i pay for car. Thats all i have 300 take away from 750 and the rest is mine the phone i can get from obama and the food i get food stamps. And once i get the camper i don’t have to go any where just run the car here and there to keep it running thats it. And if i could get a loan for that but i would be able to put two hundred down a month. Any ways i can do it think positive and take a chance.
There’s so many problems out there and i think the ones that did get in trouble some how should get help. Because most of them to all of them paid there do’s and deserve a break. And some are doing wrong because they don’t have a choice. And thats what people don’t under stand.
Any recommendations
Are shelters not allowed to aid a homeless person if he/she was not previously a resident of the shelter’s respective county?
States, cities, and counties are allocated federal money for homeless services. They are required, under the homeless management information system, to use that money for homeless services within their particular jurisdiction and to report data back to the federal government about the type and quantity of services provided. So it is possible that your community has enacted a rule about limiting homeless services to current county residents because a neighboring county has not gone to the trouble of applying for and managing federal funds and is not serving its own homeless population. It is also possible that, just because of their local or private funding or their fundamental space limits, either one facility has a rule or a county has an ordinance limiting shelter access to people who have resided in the county for a particular amount of time. Since I have not found a federal source requiring shelters to exclude residents from outside of their county, I suggest you ask your nearest homeless Continuum of Care Coordinator by what authority the shelter is excluding people for not previously living in the county.
Can social services declare you fit to work without allowing your doctor to submit an opinion? I was sent to the dss doctor who was in the room for 5 minutes and barely looked at me. He declared me totally fit, despite a myriad of health conditions. DSS has not asked me for my doctor’s opinion and no tests were run at all. This is NY State and they are mandating that I work or do some program for 35 hours, but without allowing my doctor to give his opinion. How can this be?
Title 18 of the New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations online covers Social Services. You can find your answer in there. https://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/nycrr/title_18/ Also, look through the decision that you got from DSS to see if it gives you instructions for filing an appeal. It is possible that you only get to submit your own doctor’s records and opinion during the appeal process that goes with whatever you are applying for.
I am a 25 year old female. Now living at turning point in Pontiac Michigan. I have to leave this halfway house at the end of june 2015. I have nowhere to parole to I need some help please.

I’ve been reading quite a few of the passages on this blog and I have to say that my heart goes out to each and everyone of you that are suffering. I’ve never known this much pain before. It just permeates throughout my entire body. I try to tell myself that there is a silver lining behind each cloud but somehow it gets more and more unlikely every day. My story is not really that bad if you look at the grand scheme of things. I left the home I was renting because I could not keep it up and could not keep it as clean as I would like to with my husband and all of his computer parts filling up the garage. I was in so much physical pain from having 2 auto accidents in one week (not my fault) that after a while I just left my husband and 2 kids and went to stay with my mother so I could recover. I could not look at another mess that I could not clean up. My husband followed and tried to get me to come home. I told him to let me have some peace and quiet and some time to recover ( as I had also had a hysterectomy) He didn’t understand. Finally, I went looking for an apartment for me and my 2 boys who are both special needs. I found an apt. and the owner gave me a good deal but the apt. we moved into was not refurbished as the other ones were and had mold in it and in the air cond system. She finally told us we had to pay more rent when my husband decided to move in and then after a while told us that even though we were great tenants our children were too special needs for her apt. complex and we had to go. So, I spent money moving in there then money moving out of there into a townhouse. Once we moved into the townhose we noticed that it was literelly falling apart. We wrote the management a letter and they said they would let us out of our lease and give us our deposit back. Either way it ate up all of our savings and most of my 401k to move twice in 1.5 years and we had no funds to pay for another home. We were petrified to rent another apartment due to our children and we didn’t have the 1st, last, and security to rent anyway. My mother said we could stay with her for a little while so we came here in October of 2014. My husband had just lost his father in September of 2014 and was extremely numb from this loss. I told my mother we would only be her for a short time, however, my husband injured himself at work and had to have a second bi-lateral hernia surgery which was not expected, we were trying to recover from our debt but my mother insisted on $400.00 a month rent from us knowing we were struggling and my brother that lives here pays no rent and she bought him a newe car and buys his swords and guns and video games and a large screen t.v. He is also a raging alcoholic who has beaten me up twice in front of my children and I have a broken finger now. He has 2 DUI and I have 2 college degrees. My husband has a stressful job and has been suffering from high blood pressure and weight gain and severe anxiety. My mother said that we need to leave now but we only have one income as I cannot work and we have been looking for a home but cannot afford one on one salary. My mother keeps telling us she wants her house back but we only live in one room in her house. We don’t occupy any other rooms. My mother calls my sister up north and complains to her about us but we don’t do anything to her except clean her house, cook healthy meals for her, wash her clothes, stop her from choking or coughing when she needs it, go to the store for her, vacuum her house. I am limited to what I can do with my pain and have to take medication to be able to help her. She is hateful to my children and never says anything nice to them. She has two dogs she treats so much better than my kids that it makes me want to cry. She treats me as if I am a loser and as if she wants me to suffer like she did when she divorced my dad. It is like she doesn’t want me to be happy. This is such a toxic situation that we are living in and she knows we have no where else to go and she just keeps starting fights with us- even the kids but never with my brother. I need prayers. As many as I can get. My name is Anna. You can call me at 727-278-1045 if you know any thing that I can do to help myself.
Hi Anna, can I ask what state are you in ? First I am going threw a storm also and I prayed for you and your family. I wouldn’t recommend this usually but do you have a budget suites in that stat? At least You can get a 2 bedroom and if your paying your mom $400 at least you can have peace until you can find somewhere else. Just make sure you go to one that’s in a decent area . I am at one right now until I can find someone that will rent a house to me .
Sorry to hear about your storm. It wouldn’t do us any good to go to an Embassy suites, even though I have actually thought about it myself, because we have all of our belongings in storage and also pay $300.00 per month for that so that is a total of $700.00 a month already. We just can’t get a head.
I’m about to be homeless and am severely disabled from rare nerve condition and other late diagnoses. My family, I helped so many times has abandoned me. Surely there are other athiests on here? I have biology degree that I unable to use and due to early illness in mid 20’s, receive half of what most disabled folks get. I’m trying to find best country ot city to live in for healthcare and warmth if stuck outdoors. I don’t know what to do. Can’t save up ssdi, especially if homeless. Again, I doubt I’m the only atheist/science minded person here. I don’t feel comforted by religion or superstition. My morals are in people helping each other. Not prayer or faith. It is suspected that I also am undiagnosed for autism. I don’t smoke and am very clean. Besides nice weather, an area I can get good healthcare especially for Pudendal Neuralgia Entrapment, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis.
I have a 16year old daughter and n 1 month old granddaughter ..and we are homeless.. We when to path all six time and got found ineligible all six time and they reason I can stay at some one house.. The place where they claim we can stay told them we cannot leave with them. Today we was just found ineligible again. The lady wrote a letter stating we can stay there what I can do please here
A homeless person informed his family that if they didn’t let him live at one of their homes, that there was a law going into affect in missouri that states, they would go to jail , fined or both for refusing to take kin into the home. Is this true
Here are the current Missouri laws. http://www.moga.mo.gov/mostatutes/statutesAna.html If it really is a brand new law that is about to go into effect, you might only be able to find it by doing a bill search on the legislature’s site. http://www.moga.mo.gov/
It doesn’t sound like a law politicians would pass. You should Google search Missouri laws and check for myself.
In NY when I tried to get help they kept pushing for me to move in with family even though it wasn’t an option. They even went so far as changing my address and putting down that I had. Fought them at fair hearing and at least won that since I was homeless. They will do anything they think they can get away with. Many of these people are evil vipers. Don’t ever take their word for anything if it doesn’t sound right.
I just received a infraction from CHP illegal lodgeing at a place (state land)that l’ve been at for a year, or more that Cal-Trans & CHP knew about. Why do you think the sudden change of heart? This is in San Diego. Is there outside (camping I could go? Everything I know is in that area. I am 62,have a mental disorder and on meds. I won’t go downtown, or back to concrete. I build nice, conference places all out of trash. Do I have to play cat& mouse game. All shelters are full w/ waiting list 6mo.or, longer. I love being outside. I have tried living inside, it just doesn’t work for me. Can I file a petition or,an action, like “sesice & decease” order or set it up for debate. There’s some kind of loophole. Wouldn’t you think? Does anyone know?!
The state parks charge fees for camping, so the illegal lodging citation is probably the result of your not paying the fee. When you go to court to respond to the ticket, see if you can barter with the forest service or park service— whoever is prosecuting you. Maybe in exchange for fire spotting or trail maintenance or some other volunteer service you can keep your campsite for free. Contact the San Diego office of Disability Rights California if they will help you respond to this citation. http://lawhelpca.org/organization/disability-rights-california-san-diego-office?ref=KbTmM phone: 800-776-5746

I just turned 41,I’ve had 13 stents,23cardiac catherizations,that failed to keep my main Artery the LAD or widowmaker,then had 3 failed open heart surgeries,died during one,then had a heart attack,I desperately need a heart transplant.In 2011,a Dr. I was recommended to as he was allegedly a neurosurgeon,anesthesiologist&pain Dr.to block the chronic angina,while I await a transplant. I had a very lucrative company,built by me,while dying in the hospital,my General Manager stole all the $in my account&took my contracts,signed my name on them,and stole about $100k from people,the day I got home from hospital,my GM was gone&I had cops at my house from different towns to arrest me,I showed them my fresh open heart scar,they didn’t care,tried to call my lawyer,had no $ to pay for him,so he refused,finally they let me go.One lady in a close town,I had enough $ to do her siding job,she didn’t like it,so went to my towns police dept. where the captain refused to take a charge as he knew me and knew the story,she went to county court who took the complaint,I offered to pay her $back,$ I never took ,my GM did,she refused,I was in Kansas at the time,trying to keep a roof over my families head,consulting for a company in deep financial trouble,my wife called told me I had a subpoena from the court from this woman for theft. I immediately flew back for court date,had all medical records,police reports proving I need took a cent,& did her work for free,cost me $11k.At court,the prosecutor was satisfied,but this evil woman,I never met wanted me in jail. I had to be back on a plane in 5hrs to Kansas where I made a commitment and supporting my family,the best my lawyer could do was negotiate “theft of services”,I never stole anything,he said you don’t want to risk a trial,as if found guilty you could go to jail! I took the charge,as I said,in 2011,this crazy Dr. Caused me to get. RSD or reflex sympathetic dystrophy,the highest rated chronic pain condition,its as you’re on electrical fire,while being stabbed w thousands of needles,while it literally eats your body away.www.rsdhope.org is a great website for all info,anyhow this RSD is now attacking my already weakened heart,that’s in heart failure,hanging on by a string,its horrific pain is pushing my heart to have another heart attack,if that happens,I’m dead.My wife,mentally abuses me,ignores me,takes my disability $and spends it on whatever she wants or needs,I don’t see a penny. She’s dragged me alongsaying she was saving it to move to Florida where I can get a heart transplant in months.She constantly lies to me,and is now taking my money &going on vacation july4th w her parents,I’m not invited. I’ve had it,my credit is blown due to what my former gm did,I only get $1890 a month in disability,I don’t have a car,but had fixed her credit yrs ago,so I was able to call in a favor and get her a brand new car. I need out of this situation,but can’t get a place to live on my own,besides no car to get to critical Drs spots. I don’t have family,as I’ve been in and out of foster home since 3mnths old.Physically and sexually abused in all,finally adopted at 5yrsagain,sexually and physically abused,and if I said how,you would cry. So,that’s the situation im in,back against the wall,suffering,dying without money,place to live,a car or family. I’ve never asked for help,only given it. Why is this happening to me?Any help or a point in the right direction to assistance would be a blessing. Please,I’m begging for help,I can produce any documents or letters from Drs or hospitals,or court to prove I’m telling you the truth. Please,may God touch your heart and help me in any way you can,please? I ask this in Almighty God’s name.Amen
Try the various charity organizations, like the Union Gospel Rescue Mission, the Salvation Army and St Vincent De Paul for a place to stay.
My dad let his step daughter live in his empty house until she found her another place to live. She has not even looked for a place for almost 2 years. Do I need to apply for a eviction notice. Thanks for any information you give me. Sheryl
I have a question my dad is owner of abour 3 properties and i one of them lived my sister and her gangster son my dad recently was able to get them out but in the back yard he has a tiny little storage that has no bathroom or kitchen or anything like that and this gangster friend just squatted and made himself real comfortable there to the point that hes been living there for over 2 years and no rent or anything is being given. My dad has attempted to go with police to kick him out and notjing he is a drug user and caused real paying tenants to leave cause they had kids and the man was heavy drug using no discretion my dad has gotten a restraining order and still no luck to kick him out the police say that while he dosnt cause any trouble they cant do anything so my dad finds himself in a position in which he does not know what to do there was no legal or verbal agreement or sympathy reason or deal ever done how do i get him out
You have to do it like your eviction. I do not know what state your in but you have to do it like an eviction.
Peace, joy, health and well-being can only be found inside us. They exist within us now, waiting to be discovered. Yet we tend to look to the outside world to satisfy our needs and longings.see more
i have been diagnosed as a high functioning. Person with aspergers but I am homeless I have two companion pets they are both cats my therapist and social worker have gotten all that for me yet I need a home I also have a hud voucher for a couple more months can’t anybody help I’m frightened.
my husband and I are homeless, and we have tried numerous agencies to get help and no luck . my husband is 51 and had two heart attacks and also has hep c , but does not receive any cash. I on the other hand am disabled and receive ssi ,but seems like the real problem is we have a dog, a German Shepherd and a lot of places don’t allow dogs ,she is 9 and do not plan on getting rid of her . Is there any thing you can do to help us?
Move to a red state, where they aren’t as prejudiced against animals.
I’m having a terrible problem getting help with the My W.A Identification card. I did the DSHS VOUCHER. I HAD AN EMERGANCY I Rhode Island so my I’d never came to the WA address I gave. Now I’m looking for help with the whole thing now to get a job and a place to live. I’ve called everyone that says they help but its to help with the $5, not $45. I need it so badly, the run around that some give me I want to scream. I’v tàlked to every place that could possibly help, get no where. I need a voucher for my Washington
I would like to know if PROJECT HOMELESSS RECONECT wiil give me a voucher to get my WA IDENTIFICATION. I’m having a problem getting itcuz I used the DSHS one but never got mailed the plastic one. I NEED HELP WITH ID AND WORK CLOTHES ANS SHOES
I would check the Local Salvation Army and the Union Gospel Rescue mission for a clothing voucher. My nephew did and he was helped out. You might also get on a computer and google it for your area. Sadly there is not often a list of available resources available in WA. See if there is a SNAP office near you, the one in Spokane got me a new catalytic converter and I rented from them after I got my section-8. Apply for section-8 it will take a while but if you keep on it you will eventually get it and have a place to live. Hope it works out for you, Blue states claim to care and then do everything to run you out if you are poor. I lived in WA for over 20 years finally moved because the various government agencies quit keeping deals they made with me and because of micromanagement of healthcare in WA I was unable to comply with court orders. I’m done with WA.
I have A housing vovcher in houston tx i been bulleyed the the whole time ive been on it why give them if you are going to tarment the people on it my god i want to tell my story is this reallt america so sad my life mean nothing to se people
That is the liberal government at work, find you eligible and then try to kick you off so they can send the money somewhere else. I almost lost section-8 because they waited five days to send a paper generated on Monday. I just happened to walk in the only day they were going to be open in the time I had and so saved my sectio-8.
I live on ssi in houston tx ihave housing vocher i did not do anything wrong except being poor the housing office stoped paying my rent told me to stop to i found my self evicted an homless so unfair what is this country coming to it take a lot of money to somthing should be done about this i tryed to get help but no one would very sad
You might check into moving to Utah, some time soon they will be giving empty houses to homeless people according to their website.

Have you contacted Catholic Charities yet? They can help you with immigrations, transitional housing, and other issues. http://www.ccaosa.org/services.html
I be going over there tomorrow morning i hope im praying i will get the help i need not just for me but for my kids..i been calling different places buy they all tell because i dont have no paper’s bit than u so much for u help so fard thats the only place the wants to help me n my family.
I am currently living in a homeless shelter called Dallas life foubdation. I keep a pretty positive attitude and watch what goes on. The workers treat the homeless like they are prison mates. They are very mean and nasty and pretty much treat us mean knowing we cant defend ourselves or they will throw us out because we have bo place to go. They make the working class pay $300 a month but offer no services to help assist u. Save iur money and get our own housing. The security are the worse. People have a lot of issues. And instead of a smile or kind words we are treated like animals. Some one needs to investigate this place. Its like they want the homeless to stay homeless.
In pinellas county Florida there is a shelter called safe harbour where if u leave there and return whether on good terms or bad,you are forced to stay in what they the staff calls pod six.pod six is outside under a outside metal carport,on a mattress in the sun with no air condition u only allowed to shower twice a week can not access soda and food vending machines that are on the property,and have to use porta pottys when there’s restrooms in all area of the building where people in pod six are not allowed at all is this concerted force unconstitutional living conditons
If the Constitution entitles you to something and a government office prevents you from having or doing that thing, then your Constitutional rights are violated. So one answer to your question might be another question: Does the Constitution entitle you to particular living conditions? Since your concern is about fairness, comparing the residents inside the shelter with the carport residents, it looks like you are curious about due process. Safe Harbor is operated by the Sheriff’s office as a jail diversion facility http://www.safeharborpinellas.org/mission.html so it is obligated to provide due process. But that still does not mean that you are legally entitled to air conditioning, more frequent showers, or access to vending machines. So how do you find out whether Pod Six violates the Due Process clause of the Constitution? You could read about due process online, but a quicker route might be to ask the Center for Constitutional Rights https://ccrjustice.org/home/who-we-are/contacting-center-constitutional-rights what they think about the situation. If you really just want to get some action on the situation, you can file a civil rights complaint with the Florida Attorney General’s office. http://myfloridalegal.com/webfiles.nsf/WF/RMAS-95HRAT/$file/CRComplaintForm.pdf
Hi I’m Amanda me and my husband are new to the Salem Oregon area and having to stay in our car ..I have 3 bulging discs in my back and have had neck surgery ..I am looking for a good place we can park our car overnight and sleep out under the stars ..if anyone knows where we can go please let me know we would greatly appreciate a place to actually lay down even if it is outside . Thank you and God bless
The Oregon State Parks page will show you which of the parks have overnight camping (and shower access) available. You might also be able to make arrangements with a church or other organization, possibly in exchange for volunteering. Have you contacted the Salem Interfaith Hospitality Network yet? They provide emergency housing and hospitality.
We have been to every shelter, Salvation Army is a joke, applied for habitat for humanity and on every waiting list available. There is no help for the homeless unless you have HIV, are a Vet, on parole, or severely mentally disabled. So the rest of us just suffer. And believe me we are suffering. Both me and my husband are fighting for disability. But in the meantime we both suffer from sever pain, it’s not good for people with back problems to sleep in a car. And the cats are getting to hot. My kids want to come home but I have no home for them to come home too. Is there any real help out there?
Are you guys physically able to provide elder care? If so, maybe you can find a live-in caregiver situation through Care.com or a local registry. Maybe there is even an animal shelter that would let you and your cats have a live-in work arrangement.
If you live in a college town, look through the college’s website for its “off campus housing” office. Those often have listings for live-in work arrangements.

Contact your local Salvation Army. They will help you find housing and, if your painting work is part-time and depends on contractors calling, the Salvation Army will probably help you find a permanent painting job at a hospital, university, or school district where you can get full time work as a painter with time off and health insurance. You might also contact your local United Way to find out about local organizations that can help you with housing, daycare, jobs, and other needs.
I agree with the Administrator, you might also contact the Union Gospel Rescue Mission, sometimes they have family shelters.
I’m 33 homeless with a seven mos
Old baby. No job and no family. I don’t know what to do
You might try the Salvation Army and the Union Gospel Rescue Mission.

Can I sleep in a school property when IAm homeless
A lot of cities and states have laws against trespassing on school district property and those laws make it illegal for people who are not on the property for school business to be there. You can probably find out whether they have this kind of law where you live by searching in any search engine for “school property” AND trespassing AND the name of your city or school district. Of course, if you see “no trespassing” signs at a school, you will also know that you are not allowed to be on the grounds.
right now, i am a very person because i dont feel well because i am stressed . i am eating wrong kinds of food and not getting sleep because i am stressed. i donot have enough money to live on and i will be on the streets before payday. i am proceeding abuse and trauma caused by the mental heatlh profession
If you have not been evicted by a judge yet then you will not be on the streets by payday. If a court did grant an eviction, get in touch with your local housing authority to see if you are eligible for subsidized housing. Here is a portal to housing authorities all over the country. http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/public_indian_housing/pha/contacts If you are not eligible for public housing, use this tool http://www.hud.gov/apps/section8/index.cfm to find listings for cheap apartments. Did you see all of the other suggestions on the blog for people whose circumstances are similar to yours?
My mother is currently homeless. I have done everything possible to make sure she has everything that she needs, but I am tapped out. I can’t financially support her any longer. She draws disability, and is eligible for housing, but has no rental history of her own because she’s lived with other people for several years. We were directed to HUD, but you can only submit an application for HUD on one day, once a year. I don’t know what to do at this point. Would it be beneficial to contact Social Security/Disability/DHS? She is of sound mind, she has just taken some financial blows that snowballed out of control to lead to this. Can anyone offer any advice?
It sounds like she just needs a decent social worker to connect her with local resources. There are usually good social work services associated with faith communities. Whether the agency name includes the word Baptist, Muslim, Catholic, Jewish, etc… should not affect your decision to seek their help. As long as the agency name also includes a phrase like “family services” or “family assistance” or the word “charity” it probably works with all members of the community, not only members of the faith group that originally founded the organization. You might find a good social worker very easily just by using the “Find a Social Worker” tool managed by the National Association of Social Workers.
very well put
Me and my kids been livin in a room for a mounth now social services wants to put us on the street cause i haven’t found anything they made me give up my son with sezuire service dog can they put us out on the streets
Maybe a caseworker at a private agency will do a better job of helping you find a place to live and some other resources so that you can get your boy back. Are you near a public library? If so, go there and ask the librarian to help you find listings for affordable housing and private social work agencies. In the alternative, call 211 which is the United Way hotline. It is supposed to connect consumers with agencies, but it doesn’t always have all of the agencies in its list. You can see agency names in the other posts here— Catholic Charities, Jewish Family Service, Union Gospel Rescue Mission, Salvation Army… You can also go to any religious organization and ask if they can help you find a social worker or housing. You can even ask people at a soup kitchen or at a thrift store if they know about any social workers or if they know about any affordable housing. Since your son has a seizure dog, you could also reach out to your nearest disability law office http://www.ndrn.org/index.php and tell them about being separated from your disabled son just for the sake of housing. If they don’t think that you should take legal action, they might at least be able to connect you with housing that is particularly available to families that have a disabled member in need of accommodation.
Hello well here we go i moved to michigan for a job which i have as of 7/28/15 we came here my wife and my two children and the job said that i was getting paid right away which was a lie they held a week back so i ran out of money and my family is living out of our van my wife trys to get a few dollars from asking while im at work and ppl look at her like she is a druggy or a prostitute just trying to feed her and my kids and gas so i can get to wrk neither one of us is crazy or strung out so to those reading this when u tlk to sumone homeless get the facts first before judging pls
In this economy nobody should be judging people. But some are so out of touch they have no idea what is going on in the world. Your situation sounds better than a lot so try to keep your chin up. You’ve got a van and a job so compared to so many that is good. But I know it is rough, but hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel and God will eventually bless everyone going through so many ordeals.
My alcoholic husband abandoned me and our children we are sleeping in our car.. We just relocated to Orlando and we are homeless all the shelters are full we need help.
Did you ever get into a shelter in orlando? And if so which one ? Did they help you with rapid rehousing?
I’m applying for disabilty. I have spine, neck, foot issues, I’m asthmatic, diabetes insulin dependent. I’m homeless. I have a masters degree from chestnut hill college. I come from domestic violence, then my sister threw me out I had no money. I have a car it’s old my ex loans me some gas. I can’t take insulin I need food to eat. I can hardly move my spine and neck so bad. Where is there help. I have my mini poodle but I’m so exhauted. If I could work I would but I tried 4 jobs I could not. I do not even know a good lawyer with experience in social security. They do intakes and know nothing. I’m on many meds. State medicaid. Can you advissr
Here are a few ideas:
1. You could use this state disability resources portal http://www.disabilityresources.org/DRMreg.html to find out if your state has any financial assistance to help you until federal benefits come through. This portal will inform you about local disability advocates who can probably help you resolve some of your housing and transportation issues. They might also be able to introduce you to a different disability lawyer.
2. If you are getting medical treatment, ask the doctor or clinic administrator to help you get a medical social worker. A social worker will make referrals and coordinate various community services for you. If you are not getting medical treatment, look at the free clinics portal http://www.freeclinics.com/ for a facility nearby. In addition to providing you with medical treatment, a clinic will provide the Social Security Administration with records documenting the severity of your ailments. Without medical records, you will not be able to prove that you are entitled to disability benefits. On a related note: If your pain is so unmanageable that you cannot function, go to the emergency room at a hospital.
3. You say that you are a victim of domestic violence. See if the local domestic violence agencies can help you resolve any of these problems. Even though you are not currently running from a domestic violence emergency, the agencies will have contacts that deal with post-emergency resettlement. https://www.domesticshelters.org/
Did you find a good disability lawyer yet? If not, here are two reliable lawyer search tools:
Findlaw http://lawyers.findlaw.com/
Justia https://www.justia.com/lawyers
I homeless(urban camper) lee county fla the lee county sheriffs were cutting tents! Now asking urban camper to leave land where there are NO. No trespassing signs! In fla must have the signs put up by the owner of the land! We all have a shower from a. RV we use im covered under title 2 or ADA laws. Also i dont drink or drug! No camp fires here. Need the ACLU. And the cops to stop herrason us
Yes, contact the nearest ACLU office for legal help. You might also get in touch with the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. p. (202) 638-2535. They might know a nearby lawyer who will help you and your neighbors. I think you could also use the help of a journalist. Here is the link to submit this as an article idea for The Atlantic Magazine. http://www.theatlantic.com/contact/ Here is a link to Garden and Gun http://gardenandgun.com/entry/contact-us which has great articles about living in the Southern U.S. Here, of course, is Florida Monthly http://floridamagazine.com/contact-us/ (also known as Florida Living). Each of these links will take you to a contact form where you can describe this situation. Maybe one of these magazines will assign a writer to turn it into a feature story.
I am at a shelter and we are not allowed to lay down or sleep during the day. I have filed for disability because many issues with my back. I am going for a injection in my back in a couple of weeks and was told by the doctor that I will be in pain a couple days after the injection and should spend most of my time laying on my back during this time. I spoke to my case manager and was told there is no way they can allow me to lay down during the day like that. Is that legal?
A federal law called the Fair Housing Act prohibits housing discrimination against people with disabilities. That law specifically includes homeless shelters. https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/24/100.201 So the technical legal question here is whether you are being discriminated against. Is this shelter providing you with the same access that it provides to all other residents? Do they describe their service as a place to sleep at night and store your things during the day, but not a place to stay during the day? If they don’t normally provide people with a place to stay during the day, then can you honestly say that you are being treated worse than others are treated and that you are getting that worse treatment because of your back problem? If, after thinking through these questions you do believe that you are being discriminated against, file a fair housing claim. (This link takes you directly to the instructions from HUD. You can do the complaint by phone or online.)
If you think that this is not discrimination, your other possible legal theory might be breach of contract. Read the shelter’s mission statement to see if it says anything about health or well-being. If it does, ask the manager whether your condition is covered by that part of their mission statement. If, instead of asking that way, you assert that they are breaching a contract by not supporting your health needs as promised in their mission statement, they will probably feel threatened and might just kick you out.
If neither of these legal possibilities (discrimination or breach of contract) seems appropriate for your situation, then deal with it as a medical problem rather than as a legal problem. Consult with the doctor who said that you have to be flat on your back every day. Tell that doctor about your living situation and ask whether you can be referred to any type of facility (possibly even a nursing home) where it will be possibly for you to comply with the recommended treatment.

We have all been victimized, however some people’s friends and family didn’t support our wallowing in it. Stealing is bogus, especially from family who are just trying to help. It seems that words like honour and respect for others and traditional values have become dirty words in the U.S. Virtue is bad and promiscuity is good, in spite of the STDs and other related health issues. The real problem is a moral one not a social one.
I need to mention that I have been homeless most of my adult life. I am not a drunk or a wasto. Been both back when there was an economy, didn’t work well for me and I grew out of it. It is hard being homeless, mobile or not. You have to spend most of your time hiding in plain sight, not loitering. This really wears on the nerves over time. Sadly a lot of homeless people spend most of their time drunk because they cannot deal with the stress. Then again I knew a couple years ago who lived on the streets with an income of over three thousand dollars a month so they could stay ripped and wasted. However with the economy being what it is, not what the governemnt and media say it is there are a lot of people who have to choose between rent and food. I am at that point myself. I am not stealing. I take as little as possible from those who offer lest I become offensive to them. Charity get cold very quick, there was a saying in the 1800s in England “Cold as charity.”
I’m trying to help a friend. She has been abused and thrown on the street like a piece of trash. I don’t know how to help her. I took her to Social Services and they said it takes up to 7days. What is she to do in the mean time? We don’t have gas money. I’m disabled but trying to do what I can. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Patricia

What are thr rights of a homeless person retiving their animals from impound. This person has the money to get his dogs but they are refusing to release the dogs in his care because he doesnt have a permenate address. What can he do? The officer stated he was teaching the man a lesson for not giving these dogs a home to live in. These dogs are very well taken care of. They may not have a home but the streets are their home with a nan who loves them very much. We would not have helped raise money to help him if we thought differently. Please guide us to any resources that might help. We are in Fresno Ca.

I live in Salem Or
I need help with the situation that has been getting more and devastating as I live here in Shafter,CA. Almost 3 years ago my boyfriend was evicted from his mobile home and we had to struggle with the police, the managers of the mobile home park, my health, mental illnesses and fatal illness, my family being harassed as well. A lot more to my story but each day I have to meet up with the above mentioned people who continue to cause more injury to my mental state of mind. I can’t breathe without asking for permission, I barely seek any need to friends or family that I want to be around as each one of them attack myself and my boyfriend. He has been forced to stay off the mobile home property where my boyfriend was evicted and currently where I reside now with my mother because of medical reasons and could no longer be on the streets. Two heart attacks and many emotional breakdowns still to date and hoping that a news crew would come and help me from losing my sanity, my right to live, eat, sleep and be with the man I love till death Leo Garcia. We’ve been together for 7 years and he has been the one who has been providing care for me when I have seizures and other issues regarding my safety and health. We’re not allowed to be together and therefore Leo struggles to see me somehow even in bitter arguments with above mentioned parties who have shown us no respect, concern nor privacy to be together. My mom is being harassed as well and she’s not taking it lightly on me either as she’s in fear of being evicted should Leo keep coming to meet me. He meets me on a public street of the mobile home park entrance and exit. We are crying out for help and have so much things happen to us its literally killing me. I’m losing hope, sleep, having nightmares, begging God to make it right or just let my fatal illness take me out now!. I’m so lost without no one to talk to, no one understands, really no one cares. I sit in my room for days and cry, in pain physically and mentally bankrupt. Can you please hear our story and maybe give us some hope that we have the right to be a couple without everyone tearing us to shreds. Please just hear our story, Please. You are my only hope to put light on this very never ending battle to be with the man I love even in death. This is my last wish I promise you. Thank You. My number is 1-661-240-3039 HELP US!. Susan Larson and Leo Garcia
I have been working for someone for over a year now that is now threatening me I have been working here for room and board can anyone tell me my rights
Thank you for your time
Here are a few research ideas:
1. Read this post about being tormented by someone who provides you with housing.
2. Read this post about whether property owners can make homeless occupants leave for no reason. It will help you think about contract law in connection with your situation.
3. Read the 13th Amendment section of the Annotated U.S. Constitution and consider whether this situation might constitute slavery. Here is a 1988 Supreme Court case about modern slavery.
I feel total empathy for the homeless. But some homeless are not victims. They are felons. my friend “Slemmer” is living out of his car. The reason: He stole $$ from his professional high paying job in reading PA. So he sat around and smoked pot all day and got lazy. The felony led to not qualifying for unemployment, which led to him getting evicted from 2 apartments, which led to him living in his car smoking weed. The problem with a felony is no one wants to hire you so you need to get realistic in job searches. You have to restore your career. Suck it up and go to work. Maybe take a job that is beneath you as opposed to sitting around feeling sorry for yourself and getting high. If “Slemmer” took a job to pay his rent that was slightly beneath him, he would not be homeless living in his car asking his friends for $$ .
I am homeless and have to have a big dog to see at night and I have three dogs and two cats. And a cop told me that I cant have a big dog when I am going blind
Your city ordinances have the laws about pet ownership. You can find those local laws through Municode http://www.municode.com or American Legal Publishing http://amlegal.com/library/ or by browsing on your city’s website. Usually, the laws just limit the types and number of pets people own, not the size of the pets. Local ordinances also require that pets be registered or licensed. State health laws require pets to have vaccinations and preventative care. If you can’t afford to care for your pet or pay the annual registration fee, there is likely to be a local animal shelter that will help you.
I think the police officer was wrong on the size of the dog. Don’t know the laws on that, but from a practical standpoint a larger dog would seem better than a small one for someone blind or with failing eyesight. Some apartments have their own rules, but if a doctor says you need one then that might be overlooked. Since you are homeless maybe you could look into right for people with disabilities. If you get lucky you could get someone to fight for you. I would imagine a decent doctor is going to say it is advisable to have one which would help.

Hello out there! My name is “John”, I am currently living in the south. I am a recovering addict and have been sober for years. It took several attempts, but I grew out of it. Now I am picking up the pieces. I live in a motel, I have lived in shelters all over the south. I ALWAYS have worked. I have no kids, but I take care of my foster brother who has several mental disorders. He is the kindest person I’ve ever met, but it is tough. We are very repressed in the south, we are moving. That’s my question…Where should we go. We need somewhere where I can work, need great government programs with housing and medical. I have NEVER been to a normal doctor, dentist, etc. Only emergency rooms. We are just looking for a place where I can make good life for us. I am Not a felon, have almost no criminal history, IWork hard, volunteer, etc. Anywhere we go the city would benefit from us. We’re not here to suck it fry or cause chaos. We need a hand up, not a hand out. Can you folks point us somewhere? Godbless you ALL! Keep going, if you stay straight, and you are good with your God, you will make a good life. Keep your heads high.
I’m homeless not jobless. Need to find a safe place to park for 5-6 hours a night. Work in santa cruz can’t go to far.
Most of the time, the only place that you can legally park without the property owner’s permission is the street. Residential streets are darker, quieter, and under less scrutiny than business streets. Parking lots are typically reserved for customers, clients, and members of the entities that own the lots; others who park there can be ticketed for trespassing.
Ever since I was. Little been hit on by anybody I got in to wrestling my freshman year and football my stepdad tried hitting me again for no reason and I slammed him i soon left that house under court order 2 years later I’m 18 still get I fights with my uncle who is 29 and drinks straight vodka only place i could stay at the time so I didn’t do anything 3 weeks ago he punched me in my face in my sleep I woke up slammed him on the ground and punched him till I couldn’t anymore so I was forced to go back to my mom and stepdads house week in to me staying there he slammed my head in to a dresser from there on I got the police called of course nothing happened to me since my story checked out but his house so I’m not allowed to be there this all happened about 2 weeks ago now I’m stuck sleep on my friends floor where every morning I have to go sit at the libary till 8 at night just cause I’m not allowed to be at the house while nobody is there
Are you still in high school? Even if you aren’t, but were in high school last year, would you feel comfortable contacting one of the coaches there, either from wrestling or football, to ask for some leads to local social services? Tell the coaches that you need help finding calm safe housing and a job. Even though you are eighteen now, call one of your local child abuse agencies and tell them what has been happening in your life. They might be able to place you with a family or a group of peers so that you won’t have to be alone or among violent people. Also, they will know whether you can or should become legal emancipated at this age in your state jurisdiction.
Before I got in the fight with my uncle I got in a very bad accident in Colorado when I was visiting my dad in prison so I missed a lot of school so when the fight happened with my uncle I was forced to withdraw or they were gonna. Take all my credits away I did tell the cps about people hitting me but when they see a 5’10 football player with tattoos they look at me funny and it’s like I respected my family and didn’t hit back or anything until I was old enough to know what I was doing so they don’t take me serious my coaches are all self centered and care nothing about nothing except winning they would always tells us to keep our personal problems to our selves my mom still claims food stamps for me and I can’t even apply for that I have a interview in 2 weeks but even if I start the job I won’t have money for another month just with training
I am currently in sandiego ..I want to know if my kids can attend any school close to my hotel I’m staying at!!
The California Department of Education says that your kids can go to the school near your hotel. http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/hs/cy/documents/englishposter.pdf If the school gives you any trouble or you want to make arrangements through the your school Liaison, find the contact information on this chart. http://www.sdcoe.net/student-services/student-support/Documents/district-liasons.pdf. If you run into any trouble with that local person, reach out to the state coordinator for homeless children’s education. Her name is Leanne Wheeler 1-866-856-8214.

I’m homeless and don’t have any where to go
Hello, and thanks for having your blog, because, I’ve been trying to seek a {somewhat} concern & legal answer.
While, I battle my {prose & paupers} EEOC/Federal Case for my ‘Sexual Harrassment & Sexual Assault case against my employer a school district in Texas; in the meanwhile, my wonderful, smart & handsome Eagle Scout Son & I… unfortunately lives in a shelter, and VERY grateful for their services.
We’re next in line for {Transitional} housing. Last week the AG/Child Support Office generated an current status W/ past payments W/ dates & etc.
Yet for some reason or another… That’s Still Not Good Enough! The Housing Liasion at the shelter is still ‘Admant about having my CIN/Child Support Pin Number!
Could/Would someone share W/ me, “How/Why Come – My CIN private info is badly needed?” And, “What can they really do W/ it?”. And, f I don’t surrounder my CIN info… The chance for me & my son {Transitional} housing may not go through!
“What should, I or can do? Do, I have rights? I’m really uncomfortable about this whole my CIN private info. But then again, should I be, since the shelter is helping?”.
Until then,
Ms. Tj-
You are right to be suspicious. I bet that when you were given that PIN number, there was some sort of document that said, “do not share your PIN number with anybody.” I know it takes a long time to get through to the Child Support office, but since most agencies that grant PIN numbers tell you not to share your PIN number and this one probably advises that as well, at least submit the online inquiry form https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/contact-form/ and ask whether they can send you something in writing that says not to give out the PIN number. Meanwhile, ask the Housing Liaison for a copy of the law or regulation that “requires” you to divulge your PIN number. Naomi Trejo is your state representative for the Federal Interagency Council on Homelessness. Ask her whether there is any legal authority or other reason for giving your PIN when you have already provided a current and certified report from the Child Support office. Naomi Trejo

I bought my boyfriend a motorcycle .he promised to make the payments. He was late on first payment .so then he quits hid job few weeks later .he then wrecks the bike .so he sells the bike and now refusing to give me the money .what can I do .
I’m not homeless but my son is. I’m trying to add him to my lease but my landlord is giving me a hard time about it. In the meantime he wants to use my address as his mailing address so he can receive his mail. He has 2 jobs, and is a good kid (23) he’s only homeless bc he broke up with his girlfriend and she kicked him out so he’s sleeping on friends couches. I’m trying to get him on my lease its just taking time
If you were the landlord, you would probably not want to add an additional person to a lease in the middle of the term either. Are you worried that your son will not be allowed to stay there if his name is not on the lease? People are usually allowed to host guests without worrying about legal trouble. Are you trying to help your son establish a credit rating? If so, maybe the landlord will let you add him to the lease when it is time for the annual renewal.
My question is, if one is homeless, have made their car a place of rest due to the lack of finances to maintain my apartment, of which I’d completed my lease with final rent and return of most of my deposit, with which I’d used to live in hotels to prevent from being without shelter. An associate was informed after odds were against me in an uncomfortable position, I phoned this associate who was kind enough to open her doors to me and my daughter. Before entering thereof, there was absolutely mention of money. The couple are “Christians”. Within a day, there was a demand of monies, from a vulnerable homeless person, me, that I must pay x amount of dollars to stay. The couple knew I was working, but for only three hours a day. And that my goal was to reestablish getting back an apt, house, home. Question: how can someone require of a homeless victim, monies for themselves to pay their own bills, when the homeless persons only means is needed to get back on their feet. Now, analyzing this, shelters require a percentage while you stay, and returns your temporarily used portion upon leaving. What rights do I have? I’ve applied for housing, thoroughly eligible. I need a place I can afford and finally call home. It is getting pretty old to be shuffling shift to shift, no place to rest, except on the floors of this place wherein at the end of this month I have to leave because they have family coming in for the holidays. The 400 I’d given to them I could have already had a place. What is wrong with society. I’ve been feeding them my groceries. Now haven’t a place to go. And I refuse public shelter I’m a germaphobe plus I just had breast surgery. Some really do not care. It’s all about the money. I need assistanceththat’ll get me a place today. I am frustrated with this system. Thank you. (It reminds me of a church that robs the people to gain riches)

It sounds like you are extremely busy, but if you can find time start contacting every possible social work agency and ask if they know about any emergency grant funds in your community. Those kinds of funds are available in some cities, usually through private organizations or individual donors, to pay for housing deposits and other one-time urgent needs. Sometimes, even a religious congregation will have discretionary funds for this kind of expense.
Looking for help and information, please. My husband and I are homeless, we’ve been in our car for months. We were recently denied a bed at a shelter because we have a dog. Shes a service dog. We live in sonoma county california.
I thought is was against the law for a public place to not let u in because of your disability? Its very difficult to be in a car with our dog. We have ssi & ssdi but spend most of our money on motels in the begonning of the month so we cant even save to get our own place. Its a vicious cycle.
Adivice, help….anything…..
Here is the official information about service animals and Americans With Disabilities Act. http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html Contact Disability Rights California if you want an advocate’s assistance. http://www.disabilityrightsca.org/
My father is a VET is in assistant housing. He allowed a young man that is homeless to receive mail at his home. Well this young man stayed just a few nights and while getting drunk blacked out and became such a tyrant causing us to call the police. When the officer asked if he had incoming mail and the answer was yes, the officer said we legally cant make him leave even though he doesnt reside here just has his mail coming. What can we do?? We dont jave the funds to evict him.
I would verify what the officer said. I would also go to then post office and have him removed from the list of people who receive mail at your father’s house. Always verify what the police say is the law, sometimes they lie and sometimes they are wrong and sometimes they just are lazy and don’t want to fill out the paperwork involved..
Did the police officer definitely say that you cannot make this guy leave or did he say that the police cannot remove him? The difference is important. The police are not in a position to sort out people’s private arrangements with guests and sublet tenants, but they do have authority to remove trespassers. Trespassers do not have permission to be on the property. One way to figure out whether someone has permission to be at a place is to ask if they can get mail there. If they can, they obviously have some sort of agreement or relationship with the owner or tenant and the police can conclude that they do not seem to be trespassing.
This does not mean that this person who receives mail is a legal resident at that address. In fact there are mail forwarding business that provide transient people (often RV dwellers who are on the road rather than living in one RV community) with a street address. Those people are not residents at the mail forwarding service; they simply have street addresses that look like apartment numbers. If the officer said that you cannot keep the guy away since he’s allowed to get mail there, why not contact the police and ask if they can point you to the law on that topic?
According to the Domestic Mail Manual, you can ask that mail addressed to a particular person be “withheld from delivery” http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/dmm300_landing.htm (section 508 part 1.4). You can contact the postal service online https://www.usps.com/help/contact-us.htm to arrange that and to ask if there is something else you can do to stop this guy from claiming that your dad’s address is his address. Since you say that this guy “stayed a few nights” in past tense, it sounds like he is already gone. If your dad has a friendship with this guy, he might want to track down his homeless friend and tell him that the mail won’t come to the house anymore and that the guy has to make other mail arrangements. That way, the homeless man will not miss getting his important mail.
The issue of eviction: It seems like your father is a tenant (a renter) since he lives in assisted housing. If he is a tenant, he is not in a position to evict someone. Only a landlord can evict a tenant. Contacting the landlord about evicting this homeless guy, who did not even have a lease with the landlord, might be risky for your dad. Your dad’s lease may say that he is not permitted to let a non-resident use the address, in which case the landlord may be able to cancel the lease with your dad.
How the online mail forwarding services work: The mail forwarding business will either scan the incoming mail envelopes and post them in a secure online private box for the recipients to look at over the Internet or they will bundle the mail and physically ship it to these customers. When the recipient views the envelopes online, he or she then identifies any that the service should open and scan. The service will then scan the document straight into the confidential online box for the customer. These services charge minimal flat rate fees, typically by the month or the quarter.
I had a similar problem with a friend of my sons we let stay on our couch and get his mail. Luckily i found a sympathetic cop who saw the kid was being a lil thug told him he had to leave. If you kick him out he has to spend the money to take you to small claims court to recover anything and even if he wins, gd luck collecting…..
Not legal but i would lock his ass out and take ur chances. Once he’s out i dont think the police will make you let him back in, they dont usually get involved like that. Most likely they’ll tell him to take it you court.
Thats my experience and unprofessional opinion. :-} Hope it helps.

I’m a single mother I only received one income me n my 15 year old son please help we need a appt no shelters no hotels a new home please help a new apt
I am a cracked in the system. I moved to Newark NJ in July of this year. At the time I moved here with my Nineteen year old daughter who is pregnant. I was staying with my cousin. While I was living with my cousin my son was sent to me from Oregon. He was seventeen then. By the end of October 2015 my cousin had to move. We had to part ways. I was living on Highland ave. In Newark. I had met alot of struggling families on this block. These kind people have been helping my family since I was placed in this crack. (That’s all I can call it.) I wasn’t evicted or had some horrible fire. Or any of that. My family put me up they got put out and now because of a six month law I can’t get shelter or help from anyone any where in this state. My daughter is do anyday. November second was her due date. Let me ask if I get ssi from the state of new Jersey and I have a new Jersey ID I have atablished relationships with the people around me as well as local stores. I am not eligible for housing welfare help of any kind not even shelter.
I am currently in a program for homeless families. I was raped not to long ago and the program is making me get a restraining order even though the attacker no longer bothers me. They said if I don’t get it ill be kicked out. Can they do that?
Do you think that they are trying to protect their facility from having a known rapist on the premises?
I am being evicted from my apartment. I am on Section 8. Yes I owe the landlord money. I tried to make a deal with landlord telling him I will pay an extra $100.00 a month. I told him I would do a promisary note and have it noterized. To make a long story short. Its his daughter that wants me out. She is a person that likes seeing others suffer. I have appealed this. But I am worried I will lose
my section 8 and be homeless. I am totally stressed out. I also have epilepsy and am afraid I will start having seizures.
Here is the chapter of HUD’s Housing Choice Voucher Program Guidebook with the rules about terminating a Section 8 lease. http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=DOC_11759.pdf It says that being evicted will automatically cancel your voucher. Here is some good guidance about handling your negotiations with the landlord and his daughter. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/renters-rights-book/chapter3-5.html
Is it legal for a homeless shelter to search belongings of a resident without them being present
We have answered this question before. https://homelesslaw.wordpress.com/category/shelter-sleeping/ Shelters, like other private facilities, are allowed to make their own rules. When the government searches through people’s possessions, they have to comply with the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution– the “search and seizure” clause. Shelters are typically operated by nonprofit organizations, not by the government.
Homeless if they get off the drugs and get responsible they can get a freaking job I only feel sorry for the homeless that our military veterans with PTSD everyone else made their path And they chose the drug way that’s why they’re homeless. They lost their wives or kids drugs took them over and if they’re good enough to manipulate he might be able to be under a nice warm roof of the home and feel sorry for the homeless like I said majority of them are on freaking drugs
Feel sorry for you. You should be ashamed. You have no clue. If you get sick or have tragedies in your life you will see what its like for millions. And of course, in the end, you will have to explain your cold heart to God.
You really need to look at yourself really good in the mirror because you are just 2 paychecks away from being homeless like me. I’m not a drug addict or alcoholic. I’m homeless because of a landlord with Alzheimers who for got what he gave me and what he had loaned me and what he had. Im disabled fighting for disability taking care of myself my best friend Mike and my three dogs
Really Tammy. People that are homeless made their path and are on DRUGS. I just hope this never happens to you! I have always had a home. Nice homes too. 3 brs..2 baths and ect.. I never thought my 2 girls and I would be homeless, but here we are in a shelter. Not because I do drugs. I do not even drink alcohol! Certain life things happened beyond my control. I also have health issues that I can no longer work.and what I get from ssi will not pay a rent and utilities and ect. . No one would choose this path! It has been hell on earth living in this shelter for past 2 years.Instead of judging ppl maybe you should lend a helping hand and donate or call shelters and offer to help people with rides to places they need to go such as appointments, grocery shopping … I even have cooked food and drove up street where I see homeless people holding signs and gave them dinner or lunch and drinks and blankets and all while me and my 2 kids are homeless. I do not have much to give but there is always something small you can do to help someone else out. I been living like this for while and guess what…I still manage not to judge the others who live here. I help! I have given rides to people who do not have a car, I have given/bought clothes for other kids who parents had nothing and could not. I have bought food for other people who live here on their bads weeks during a month cuz we all have them weeks. I HELP! You really should be ashamed for judging people that you do not know. Everyone has a story and judging someone is not the answer. HELPING IS THE ANSWER.
I agree, Sharon. I don’t know if Tammy is ignorant, heartless or both. In addition to what you said there are a lot of people with serious health conditions that still get refused for disability. I know someone who had to fight to get reduced hours in a dss work program even after having letters from a doctor stating the need for reduced hours and having diagnoses of MS, severe anxiety disorder, asthma, and sciatica. I have my own experiences as well. There are not enough jobs for everyone out there that is healthy. And many have trouble getting hired anyway because of employment gaps and homelessness and so on. The economy is not exactly humming along so most can be very selective. It is sad there are people out there in this day and age who believe like Tammy, but these stereotypes are way too common. God help them.
My husband. Myself. And our.three children will be homeless tomorrow. We are a low.income family, my husband is the only provider after ny first marriage left me disabled. Our apartment was a disaster. There was a hole in the roof and water poured in. I went to the town, they inspected it, and he never fixed it. Then a year later i went back and the town fined him. He then evicted my family. my car is older. It broke and my husband lost a great job because of transportation. He got a part time jib at chipotle just to.fix the car. Now its fixed and hes finally got full time work, we were unable to save for a security deposit. Now tomorrow we will be on the streets. No thanksgiving, no Christmas. Im broken for my kids.. im scared. Its a long way until tax time. Pray for my family. We have no where to.go,,

New Hampshire does have a low income housing tax. Here is the application form for that. http://revenue.nh.gov/forms/low-income-housing.htm See also the annual form that you would have to file once your property is deemed low income property. Here is a descriptive page about property tax relief for low and moderate income households. http://revenue.nh.gov/forms/low-moderate.htm Here is the link to New Hampshire Legal Aid. Ask them if they can help you to appeal this property tax assessment. http://www.nhlegalaid.org/
If your cabin was smaller 120 square feet there might not be such an issue

What city do you live in?
My husband has been late on our lease not because we chose to but because his jobs as a blue-collar worker has been difficult one is first to get laid off when your last to get hired. The place where we live now we have worked really hard to get caught up and stay in good standing with our landlord and we promised him that we would not be late again; my husband even talked to the mortgage company that works for landlord and the mortgage company told my husband to take the higher job so my husband left on then30th of November. And after Thanksgiving his old boss was supposed to give a check and send it out Monday or Tuesday of that week so that we would be able to make sure that we had to rent to pay Carl Bohman. A week went by and the landlord kept contacting us we asked him to please wait till Monday because we were waiting on our our mail and it does not come until noon usually. The last we knew he was going to wait till Monday but after Monday came and went even though I called him from the bank and I told him the money was in there that day, Deposited into my account, Carl was asked to please take and cash the check we wrote to him the week before. Even though I begged him and told him the check was there, there was no response. The check we wrote he’s refused to cash; he didn’t do it that day, he didn’t do it the week after, nor the week after that. And now he’s telling us he’s not going to cash a check and he wants us out. This was not if our doing we tried really hard to catch up with my husbands new job. We have five children and I have nowhere to go we will be homeless I need to know what can I do where can I go? I am scared and I am worried for my family we have not had anyone come to our door but the last time he threatened he had a shariff come to the door and give us eject many papers , but we are trying to buy this house we put $4000 down this house but then I found out that my husband had him pay the electric until we can get the house in our name since we are leasing it’s all a big mess and I’m beyond upset right now and leaving my husband is questionable right now but where my families going to go and how we can stay here is my concern please Christmas is in a couple days my children will be waiting for Santa Claus but I fear that someone else is going to come to my door and they’re gonna tell me that he is going to take our home away because we can’t get through to our landlord that this was not our doing it was the person who was supposed to send the check -we were trying to get caught up we were trying to show them that we really need this home what can I do I’m about to be homeless as are my children? Carl Bohman, please hear my prayers: please don’t make us homeless. Please find it in your heart to see that this time was NOT our doing. We couldn’t help that the check came late- we waited every day for that check and cried every time the nail was checked to no avail. Please let my family have s home. Please someone help me. I’m scared.
During a divorce, child custody issues can be some of the most difficult to resolve. In most cases, a court will make the final decision on who has primary custody of the child, based on what the court feels is in the best interests of the child.If you need help about this matter then you can contact a grest experienced attorney in San Diego,California with Mr.Steven M.Bishop.

I didn’t know when I accepted my daughter and husband’s invitation to come live with them in Pa to receive ‘better medical attention’ than I was receiving in nj that she was being mentally abused and controlled. The month there was the happiest and best medicine I’d had in the past 2 years since I became severely ill a year after my accident, spending lost time w my daughter and grandbabies while my rented home was being packed and brought from nj in a 28ft Uhaul. My belongings of my entire life wasn’t there for even 2wks or unpacked, including my clothes when my son in law threw me out in the middle of nowhere after a seizure and after taking my SSD check I was so happy to give for wanting to ‘help’ me. The battery in my jeep I was going to give him to sell since I couldn’t drive was dead, cell phn w all my contacts to call anyone was broken from my last fall, he wouldn’t give me any cash back so I could maybe find hotel somewhere, wearing only the clothes I’d worn to the ER who sent me back there with discharge papers stating to get ‘your mom’ to a Neurologist. The wonderful Cab driver who wouldn’t leave me stranded, spent his entire day w me, as well as the salvation army, who couldn’t find a shelter even to take me because of my medical conditions, finally reaching out to my church in that area who pd for 4 nights in a hotel. The bishop told me to ‘Figure out what you are going to do’ after 4 nights, telling him ‘I don’t know, I have no family, I’d given up everything medically for my youngest to go to college not knowing I’d get sick a yr after my injuries, everything I worked my entire life for is here, they refuse to even give me clothes and shoes let alone my money back?’ Bishop Bowe replied,”‘I guess you’ll be sleeping on a Park Bench then”??? It took me a month to get back to my state of NJ and then allowed in my condition to live another 6 months in a literally rotted leaking, no running water and pd $300 mo to use the unused land (dogs running ground) and extension cord. They also kept everything of use and value, including thousands of dollars worth of my entire wardrobe of clothes, shoes, coats, purses, jewelry from my once career, that I could have sold when I was able to afford to get someone to bring back to nj in storage unit, another bill. Can only feel grateful that this winter’s been mild still having no clothes and having to warm bottled water to clean myself, and question, How do I make too much money on SSD at 49 to not qualify for help? Can’t even afford proper medical attention to be able to get back to my job I loved. Am I still in America?…
Any advice, even for needed medical attention. I don’t qualify for Medicaid and do receive Medicare that doesn’t cover much. I gave up the IN Home Nursing Assistance when I moved to Pa for that Better Medical care the state approved me for when I was so sick and so medically neglected. Thank goodness I’m not as sick and can dress myself now and have been able to maintain some weight gained during the summer, because I now don’t qualify living homeless in an illegal situation. I don’t even know how to evict the unwelcomed mice I know is also unhealthy. But the worst part was I was too overwhelmed to even bury my dad Friday morning, feeling enough guilt that I was too sick to spend the time I wanted to with him the past year
I would like to be able to contact Jaqueline B for information she has acquired that helped her escape the cycle of homelessness. I have found a few tricks of my own but would love to combine any solutions found to help my own situation and those of others. Any attempts I have made to contact her through the mobile site have failed. Please provide her my information or visa versa. Thank you.

The salvation army shelter in fort worth Texas 1855 east lancaster ave is not right they are very disrespectful to all the clients in the program except for the men in the Simon program. They will give the guys in the Simon program 75 dollar vouchers for the things they need like clothes and other personal items, but the ladies and the guys that are in the start program don’t get anything, and the salvation army shelter gets grants for both Simon and the start program but the Simon program is the only program that’s getting help, and the salvation army shelter is always getting donations like money, food, house hold items, clothing but it’s sad that the clients aren’t getting it because the employees are going through the stuff and taking it home,the salvation army shelter also house people that are getting social security checks but keeping it hide so that they can get grant money off of them being here, I found out that no that’s getting a social security check is suppose to be living in the shelter the lady from the social security office and that they would lose their benefits and have to pay back pay for being there, the salvation army shelter is scamming the system for their grant money, and for the donations, food etc IN OTHER WORDS THEY ARE SCAMMING THE SYSTEM AND TAKING FROM THE POOR. SAD SAD SAD SAD
You can get the Texas State Attorney General to investigate this situation by filing a complaint form at https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/cpd/file-a-consumer-complaint.

I really don’t no if I should ask u a question about wats happening to me. So I guess all tell u. I’m an elderly lady that’s disabled. I live in SLC UT. I live in a basement in this house. All the other people got evicted for not paying there rent. I payed every month. My landlord lost alot of money do she decided to put it on the market to be sold. She gave me and one other person a verble 30 notice. Its been 30 days. I just barely found a low income apt but its not going to be available until Feb 1. I don’t have any other place to go plus I’m not all the way packed. Ive been sick with my arthritis and having a hard time walking I’m in alot of pain. Don’t really no anyone to help me. Can u stay here for another month I don’t want to be out living on the streets for s month I’ve been there and it’s not fun. I’m on SS limited income.
You cannot be evicted in Utah without a court order and there are some time-consuming things that have to happen before the court issues that order. Here is a whole clear page about Utah evictions. https://www.utcourts.gov/howto/landlord/eviction.html Utah Legal Services, which provides free legal help to people who cannot afford lawyers, publishes a renter’s handbook with several brochures about eviction. http://www.utahlegalservices.org/public/self-help-webpages/utah-renters-handbook If you get served with a formal hearing notice, signed by a judge, contact the Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake and ask them to help you get through this one month. http://www.legalaidsocietyofsaltlake.org/#!contact/cce3 They will probably request delays and appeals until you can get into the new place.

We are homeless due to renovating apartment building and was giving a eviction we need help like last month
I was homeless at age 12 in 1952. I never asked for help from the Cath Church or the City–know why the City ignored me and the Cath Priest were to drunk to even give me a meal.I lived in the city parks of SF with sleeping bag and a few dollars from friends. In 1952 My Mom died that year and then I was on my own. Needless to say I trusted no one but some police officers for help.
I lived in Florida with my boyfriend and 3 children. We were evicted from our apartment and we decided to move back to New York due to our families living here. Unfortunately no one is able to help us or able to provide a place to sleep so now we are completely out in the streets. Can someone please guide me as to what I can do for some assistance. Thank you

Hello,
My name is Mel. I live in a 24 month transitional shelter. Among all the crazy things that seem wrong there’s one I want to know about right now. Can they ask for 20% of my tax refund? I pay 20% of my monthly income for rent. On top of that they ask for 20% of tax refund. Never gave me a receipt last year. I feel like I’m being stolen from and trying to save all that I can for my three childrenseparate needs and wants also my own. Help me please. Is this legal?
The money that you get in your tax refund is a delayed part of your income; the IRS simply holds onto it until you submit your tax return. This concept is usually explained by showing that the IRS withheld more tax than it was owed. Even though this income arrives late, it is still income. Here is are two sources with that explanation:
1. A list of investment definitions. http://www.investorwords.com/4912/tax_refund.html
2. An authoritative article about taxes and bankruptcy. http://www.bna.com/income-tax-refunds-n12884911149/
In sort of a reverse way, the IRS explains this concept on its page about withholding. https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Employees/Tax-Withholding

Some jobs come with housing. Here is one example in Reno. https://dinerstein-openhire.silkroad.com/epostings/index.cfm?fuseaction=app.dspjob&jobid=130&company_id=17005&version=1&jobBoardId=3338 To find more like this, go to http://www.indeed.com and search for “apartment manager” in the “what” category and “Reno” in the “where” category.
Have you guys already been approved for any HUD programs? If so, you can find inexpensive housing here. http://www.hud.gov/apps/section8/step2.cfm?state=NV%2CNevada
I have a 08 Harley. I just moved in to a 55 and older apt government owned Kansas City mo. 64117 I just want to no the true law of parking. Because they state you must be in a parking spot. They have yellow lines for cars and trucks. When all I want to do is park away from everyone else it’s a little corner but I can watch it. And it not in no ones way. It’s all I have as far as transportation. Thank you if you can find something because it’s not right.
Are you saying that the apartment is owned by the government of Kansas City? If so, then the parking lot is government property and you can find your answer in Chapter 70 Article 5 of the Kansas City Municipal Code. https://www.municode.com/library/mo/kansas_city/codes/code_of_ordinances If the parking lot is private property, then the property owners make the rules about where and how people can park there.
We are trying to by a property or lease to use for homeless shelter it will be a nonprofit Organization my question is can I and my family live on one of the floors since we run the shelter
You have a lot of legal research to do. You might want to start by looking in your local zoning code. Here is a page about zoning law. http://realestate.findlaw.com/land-use-laws/zoning.html Enter your city name and the phrase “zoning code” into a search engine to find your local laws. The answer might be in your state’s statutes or administrative regulations about group housing. If you don’t find statutes or regulations under the search term “shelter” look under “rooming houses” and “boarding houses.” To be thorough, you might also look for “land use” and “charities” in your state laws. https://www.law.cornell.edu/states/listing You should probably look through HUD’s technical guidance for program managers https://www.hudexchange.info/manage-a-program/ to ascertain whether any of their funding rules would prohibit property owners from living on-site. The IRS might have guidance about how a tax exempt organization can share space with a private residence. https://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Charities-and-Nonprofits-A-Z-Site-Index You may need to request a letter ruling from the IRS to answer your question.

I plan to abscond from parole in California and move to Arizona after serving 20 years of torture in state prison and one year, one month of parole. ( I was paroled on December 12,2014). I’m currently pending my SSI disability claim, denied twice, waiting for a judge to hear my case. Will I still be able to continue my SSI disability claim and or benefits in Arizona? Also, will I be able to apply and recieve an Arizona I.d. public assistance and food stamp benefits as well as a driver’s license or will I have to maintain a life of hiding? I don’t intend to our plan to ever return to California and I don’t plan to live any type of life of crime in Arizona.
The Social Security rule about payments to fugitives is at https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0500530001#b under the heading “How Does an Individual’s Fugitive Status Affect SSI Benefits?”
I am a single, widowed mom of two children. Living in Alabama, my apartment manager caught me off guard today when I called her to see about holding the office for my little girls bday, she said “did you get the eviction notice?” I said “no, just the late notice from the rent, why?”. She proceeds to rudely tell me how the $575 I paid was applied to last month and I still owe for this month and she is done with it and will have the owner contact their attorney..I’m at a loss for words cause I never received a notice and id never been late on rent for 3 years until last month and its because my car was stolen and with Christmas and everything I got behind. I can’t go honeless with my children :-( and this mean manager, never even told me a date today so Idk what to do or where to start with no way of going. Prayers please, and any advice or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
My three children and I lost our home and everything we owned to a house fire on 2-2-16, I had lived there for 12 years. I started my new housing search just hours after the fire. The very next day i applied for multiple apartment’s and rental properties, using the majority of my red cross money on application fees. Unfortunately a little over a year ago I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life and bought a small business. Like all new business owners I work about 15 hrs a day, seven days a week and my yearly income has dropped to a little over $13,000. Due to my extremely low income no one was willing to rent to me. That’s when I knew I had to find some type of housing assistance. I first contacted a case manager at the red cross and was told they cannot name specific foundations/organizations but led me to a government website that listed different types of programs, the main one being section 8. I immediately contact the one for my county. I spoke with a very nice genital man who explained the process. He also informed me that there was a good chance my children could be out of the house by the time I was accepted in the program. He told me of a low income housing agency called CPO and that they gave out referrals for Section 8 and that would be the only way I could get in immediately . I called and found out they had many properties on my side of town one being a brand new rent to own home that was for extremely low income family’s with the monthly rent being around $320.00 a month ( it was just one street over from my parents house). I went in and asked about the referral and was told they couldn’t offer it at the time. I filled out the necessary paper work and paid my $30 app fee and was told it will take 7-10 business days for all the necessary credit and back ground checks. Five business days later I hear back from their leasing agent. She tells me unfortunately the property I applied for had been preleased and out of all properties they have I could only had a opption of two different ones. The first being on the far north side of the city and the second was on the eastside. On my application I put that I needed one of their westside properties due to the fact I don’t drive and my work was on that side of town. Their website stated they had two other extremely low income houses in the area. The same day i went to the office asked about them and was told they no longer offered the other two. I also asked if I could prelease one of the ones being built that was in my price range even if I had to wait a few months and was told they don’t do that. On my way home I drove by the property and in the window was the leasing sign, I even had someone call and ask if the property at the address was still available and they were told all the verification they needed to bring for the application process. For the past two days I have spent my every waking moment searching and calling different organizations looking for help and be shut down at every turn. What upsets me the most is there seems to be more immediate help for immigrants and refugees than actual United States citizens. I have been to many places to literally beg for help and have seen people that are receiving the help my family so desperately needs wearing top of the line clothes, shoes, hand bags and driving brand new cars. I talk to these same people why waiting and find out 90% don’t even have jobs. Why is it the people that are trying to better there lives, provide for their selves, and pay taxes that go to the government funded programs can’t get help when it is truely needed. Also why is race a mandatory field and if it isn’t filied out the application can’t be completed. does government funded programs and the organizations that receive grant money have limited spaces for certain races?
Hi. My name is Said Gissime , I am Homeless For The Past 2 Years in The Bowery mission.
I have applied for many Housing and wasn’t approved For Including SRO.
Director at The Shelter tried to assist me ,without Success ,went through many Interviews , Regardless of my rental assistance Program From The Mayor’s Office.
Finally Few weeks ago , I went Hunting For a nest and Found a nice House in Staten Island
Landlords Has approved my request She Sent all her Documents of Lease , Ownership to my case Worker at the Shelter , a day later Inspection pass Through Successfully .
On This Past Friday My Counselor at The Bowery mission Called me and say .Congratulation You’ve been approved today for SRO. You’ve to take it or we are Going to kick you out .He says. i replied , Mr. Davis
I was First approved for The House in Staten Island .that is where I am going .
Last week I made an Argument about my File For Staten Island wasn’t been Sent To DHS To
Aporove it .That will be The Last Step .
After Speaking to The Housing Manager Mr.
Hictor Rosa , my case was Sent . i recently Heard From a Lady in DHS , That one the Counselor is trying to Sabotage my plan to go to Staten Island .I feel Disciminated against Because I am white Run by a Shelter Mostly
African American. .
My Question to you .
Is it DHS .same as Welfare who gives Food Stamps and Cash Assistance .???
Can I go Personally to DHS .To represent myself In The Issue of my Pending Housing?
I don’t Trust These Kind of Lousy Counsel Who appear to work rarely and Bearly 3 days a week …
Can you assist me please , Because most of The Staff here are unprofessional , I’ve already
Lost 2 Homes applications because They were too Slow to act on my behalf .Certainly They cared less .Not only that , There are waves of Arrogance .And Superiority Complex
Please assist me .
Thank you .
The City’s Human Resources Administration coordinates food stamps and cash assistance. According to the organizational chart for the NYC Human Resources Administration, the Department of Homeless Services is NOT a department within that agency.
Within DHS,there is a neutral Ombudsman office that exists specifically to “resolve constituent issues” with the services that they are getting from DHS. You can open a claim by filing this grievance form.
I don’t know anything about the process that you are going through because I do not see any guidelines, handbooks, or manuals about it on the DHS site. Those kinds of publications would tell whether you can represent yourself. I did find the fact sheets, but you probably have the one you need. Here is the fact sheet for the SEPS program which houses single adults coming out of shelter in NY. And here is the overall Tenant Based Rental Assistance fact sheet. Neither of these tell what to do when your DHS caseworker simply won’t close the deal. I wonder if MFY Legal Services can help you; they look very knowledgeable and diligent about housing and poverty issues in the City. Here is their contact information.
Hello, My name is Robert, I live in Arizona and my biological children live in Georgia. I was once homeless which occurred in California on July 1, 2011. I am an Operation Iraqi Freedom Disabled Veteran who was granted assistance that prevented me from living on the street. At the time out of fear, I sent my children then ages 5 and 11 to live with my ex-girlfriend because I didn’t want them to experience living in a shelter, I was concerned for their safety. I had never been homeless before and didn’t know what to expect. On Oct. 12, 2012, I received a Section 8 voucher and I moved into a two bedroom apartment in California. I wanted my children to come home to me but they told me they were happy in Georgia and wanted to stay there. There is more to my story but not enough space to write it all here. It’s now 2016, they are still in Georgia. I believe my oldest child is happy there but , my youngest child told me that she wants to be with me. My oldest child is 17 she will be 18 in September of this year, my youngest child will be 11 on March 1, 2016. I gave my ex-girlfriend temporary guardian ship and I also went to social security with her to have her receive payments monthly to help provide for their care. Have I lost my parental rights? There had never been any legal or state entities involved in this situation and as far as I know my parental rights have never been revoked. I believe in my heart that the best thing for my children is to be with me, however, I am willing to give my oldest child a choice of where she wants to live because she is so close to adulthood. I honestly feel that my situation was used against me because my ex-girlfriend believed that she could not conceive children of her own. (She later found out that she would have been able to concieve and carry a child to term by having a minor surgery but by then she was too old) also feel that there has been a certain degree of manipulation used to coherse my children into staying in Georgia. I have more than enough income to provide for them due to my receiving V.A. pension at 100 percent and S.S.A. , If I could have any wish given to me right now, it would be to have my babies come home.
Is it legal for my friends mom to move back to san diego (from newyork) knowing that they’ll be homeless?

Are you asking about Social Security because you believe he is disabled? It takes a long time to arrange disability benefits, but you can start the application here. https://www.ssa.gov/disabilityssi/apply.html Your brother will have to approve the application, but you can help him to complete it. Use this HUD portal to find immediate homeless assistance in his community. https://www.hudexchange.info/homelessness-assistance/
I have a friend fresh out of jail after a two week stay for assault. It was thrown out domestic violence charge. He has a truck in impound and is having trouble getting it out everyday it is charging more to get it out. He is homeless. On disability through the state for mental illness. In dallas texas. Is there any help available for him?
To help him start putting those disability funds toward shelter, contact Homebase for Housing, Dallas Life http://www.dallaslife.org/, the Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance http://www.mdhadallas.org/ and the Department of Health and Human Services.
Try these resources to see if you can find emergency or crisis funding to help him get his truck back:
http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/dallas_catholic_charities_assi.html
https://www.irvingcares.org/
Food pantries know about local charitable resources; you might ask the director of your nearby pantry
Consider establishing a “gofundme” fundraiser to fix this crisis. https://www.gofundme.com/ There might be enough people willing to each kick-in ten dollars toward helping him get his truck back.
I was seeing this guy for 3 year we moved in together and after 2 year he left and now he wants to kick me out I was living with my dad and before any of this started he promised me he would take care of me now I have no where to go I sign up for my ssi I have no income rite now he had really put me In a hard spot
We will be homeless next week m
we moved into a s I artment and they ask us to lie and say we made more so the sales girl could get the commission, now we can’t pay and if they would let us stay until we get our disability checks we found several safe apartments that we really can afford
What should we do to be safe at night
We have a car and a dog EE ARE keeping,he’ll bark, but tell me safe places to park at night
God bless everyone, I’m trying to leab on HIM, I’m one of HIS children and HE says HE will help those who help themselves

My name is shanell Latham I am currently homeless my fiancee is also a vet who served for our country and we have been denied housing due to a criminal history.
The National Housing Law Project has a free guide to housing for people with criminal records. https://www.nhlp.org/guidebooks The proper title is “An Affordable Home on Reentry: Federally Assisted Housing and Previously Incarcerated Individuals.” You have to download it; you can’t read it online. It tells about the mitigating circumstances that can override a conviction history, the limits and loopholes in housing rules that exclude people based on their background, and methods for challenging housing programs that deny admission based on the criminal record. According to this guidebook, all applicants for public housing or HUD subsidized housing have the right to have a hearing where they can dispute denials of housing.
My fiance is a veteran and he has been denied services and been trying to get help since September of 2014
The American Bar Association has links to all of the free legal services for veterans. http://www.americanbar.org/groups/committees/veterans_benefits/pro_bono_resources_for_veterans.html Many of the lawyers at these offices are veterans themselves.

I ask for a copy of my whole record and they refuse to give it to me …..can they do that?
You need somebody to stick up for you. MFY Legal Services provides the kind of advocacy you need. See if they can get this process moving. http://www.mfy.org/about/about-mfy/
I’m 100% fucked. Like John Holmes on a crack and cocaine fueled fuck spree. My story is similar. I got sick, they found a mass, thought I had rectal cancer, had to resign my $70k year job. Lost everything. If my asshole could of been repossessed they would of taken it. Because that’s not enough to deal with at once, my middle child’s health fails spectacularly and that mass they found? Turns out I have a tilted uterus that rests on my hemorrhoids AND I was pregnant, at 41 I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I find this out at the appointment to have my tubes tied ( they couldn’t figure out why I had this mass, why it expanded and contacted and since this would be considered a pre-existing condition tying my tubes seemed the best way to figure out what the fresh hell was going on).
My middle child has an unknown neurological disease that was robbing her ability to walk. It stumped all medical science. Next stop… Exploratory surgery. I say hell no. There is something we’re missing here. Very very long story short, I highly objected to her being a guinea pig and no child born of my body will ever waste away in front of my eyes because no one has any suggestions on how to KEEP HER WALKING. So my husband and I did some research, and found our own Dr. House. Turns out she was born without the proper muscles to allow her feet to lift and drop. It was like she had club feet. From normal to watching her struggle to take a step. Hell fucking no.
We were already homeless by this point so we took our income tax money, moved to New Mexico, found Dr. House, had surgery and I’m very proud to report she walks – with braces but by god she walks!!!!. She’s also mental. I figure one mildly psychotic child out of three ain’t damn bad. We even received help for that, a diagnosis, medicine to balance her out. Other than homelessness, a normal life for her. Honestly never ever thought those two things would happen. Because the Lord of chaos keeps my life on speed dial he decided now would be a great time to give my husband a double hernia that took months to heal and forced him to stop working. I found a job thank you God.
We moved from NM a month ago. I’m a native New Yorker and that place was like a war zone, bad education, don’t even think about going out at night. Google it, you just can’t make this shit up.
We took everything we had and are in extended stay in Colorado Springs but it’s just not enough. It seems like nothing is ever enough. Frustration wouldn’t cut it as an adverb. We are “overqualified”. I hate that fucking word. I’m going to knit a scarf called overqualified and strangle the next person who says it to us. I don’t get it. I’m up to my tits in utter dire straights but because I’ve managed accounting I’m no longer eligible to just do accounts payable? Are you shitting me?
Yes, I’d flip burgers but since I managed one 20 years so it’s a no fucking go. Went to a recruiter here and she flat out told me it’s going to take some time because of my experience. Fuck me. I never would of thought it’d turn into a handicap.
Because of my middle child a shelter won’t cut it. She’d lose her shit, literally. So I’m auto titling our car and buying a tent. I’m in knots trying to find another solution. We have never been jobless. Ever. Like for 25 years forever. Like combined 50 years never. I mean never ever ever.
We are accepted into a program that provides an apt for a year but no space. It’s a glimmer of hope to hold on to but Monday if bearing down on my ass like this ever present hemorrhoid problem. I mean if I can figure out how to have a little power and where to pee I think I could manage until the job thing shakes out. I’m scared shitless. There was a freak blizzard a couple days ago. I’m talking full white out, 25 ft visibility, mountain sized snow drifts. What. The. Fuck. Did I piss off an elf?
My logical career choice would be the US govt but fuck me my credit clearly sucks. My 789 is history. 489 would probably be more like it now. I doubt I could get my TS clearance back. I doubt I could buy a bumblebee honey on credit. Everyday I wonder if the bank account I hesitantly established will get seized by grand fucking furniture. My bank was kind enough to let me be. 23 years of excellent banking history poof like puff the magic dragon.
Positives:
I still love my husband
My middle child can walk and is no longer candidate for Damien’s bride
My husband got his hernia taken care of before it ruptured his bowels
My teenagers still love me
My unexpected son was born healthy without incident
My mother’s still alive (still a pain in the ass)
We’re all still together
My background is clean
I don’t owe any taxes
I haven’t stolen, lied out cheated to get myself out of this bullshit
But I’m petrified. To death. So if anyone knows of a spot a family of 5 can pitch a tent and have a little electricity so tent can use their phones to power their tablets for homework. There’s a couple places I can find to shower (I think). Anyway – desperately need a place to pitch a tent
Ive been staying and paying by week in a residential hotel with my kids in Delaware. And been having a hard time trying to save for apartment can she legally throw me and kids out even though i already gave them thousands of dollar.
Here are two things to investigate:
1. Delaware’s consumer complaint process
This process helps people who have been lied to or cheated by a business.
http://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov/fraud/cpu/complaint.shtml
2. Eviction in Delaware
Even though this rental arrangement is based on short weekly leases, instead of a traditional yearly lease, you might be entitled to a full eviction process. Read this landlord-tenant material from the court system to see if that looks possible.
http://courts.delaware.gov/help/landlordtenant/
I live in a homeless shelter it’s big on religion they’ve currently taken my phone away as a form of discipline according to them do they have the right to do that?
Hi my name is so this portillo I have three kids and I’m living in a motel right now my last day here is April 1and I list my job plz help me find money and a place for my kids
Have you tried GOSEEK.com ? Rates are ATLEAST 20$ a night cheaper on average helped me.
A homeless person takes landord to court .cause he asks the person not use drugs and dosent pay any rent .since she liver there.
I’m currently in the homeless shelter and they are giving me an exit date from Monday they said that that’s just a decision that they made at their meeting I am a recovering addict I’ve been clean since July I had one quick relapse last Thursday that has nothing to do with this exit date they don’t even know about it but I don’t know where to go I’m in Nashua New Hampshire and I am scared I need help I don’t know what to do
First, here is the contact information for the New Hampshire Bureau of Homeless and Housing Services. They may be able to connect you with a different shelter or a permanent housing solution. http://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dcbcs/bhhs/contact.htm You may already know about all of the shelters in Nashua, but in case you don’t, here is the list. http://www.homelessshelterdirectory.org/cgi-bin/id/city.cgi?city=Nashua&state=NH
Second, you might be able to find a job that includes housing. If you think you could be a live-in caregiver or overnight caregiver for somebody, consider signing up with care.com. If you have building maintenance skills, maybe you can get a live-in job at an apartment or condo complex. Here is one not far from Nashua. http://www.hirebridge.com/v3/Jobs/JobDetails.aspx?jid=389263&cid=6584#.Vw-4_PkrIdU
Can a city of Loma Linda Animal Control tell the homeless people to vacate premises within 72 hours.

Please allow Davis Smith to call home. Please 337-330-2204 sister pat. 337-254-8084 Janice 214-545-2929 rose
As you are not influencing others by your beliefs, causing others in the shelter to be upset by the way you practice your religion by causing others stress or UNDUE irritation, following shelter rules, and not over presenting your faith to be the only right faith it is not legal for any American citizen to be held back from practicing their own religious beliefs. I would consider keeping it on the DL your Savior knows your heart and if it’s better to be quiet at times in a hateful world just to survive talk to your Savior through your heart and mind. Rules aren’t always followed in life unfortunately but when it comes to survival we must make the best of it if only for the time being. They will have to answer to their own God in the end remember that.
I am not homeless yet. My problem is that my landlords sneak into my house when I go out and go through my things. Sometimes stealing them. I have nowhere else to go and have been in a huge argument with her about invading my privacy. She screamed at me one day telling me that I am not going to tell her when she can and can’t come into her own house. I’m bipolar and PTSD and need to live alone. I’m low income, am on many waiting lists, and have a social worker trying to help me. My landlords father is a policeman so I can’t get any help from them. How can I legally just get them to stop invading my privacy and live here until I can get another apartment?
I need a place to stay to live down on my luck can someone help get a place i work just please someone help

How do I get an injunction to prevent the U-Haul storage company from auctioning off my things
Here are three ways to get this information:
1. Look for an injunction form on the local civil court’s website.
2. Use this search in a search engine and add your state and/or county name to it. filetype:pdf injunction “self storage”
3. Base your arguments on the terms of your contract and your state statute on storage facilities. The Self Storage Association links to all of these laws at http://www.selfstorage.org/Library/Public-Library.
You might also want to read the National Consumer Law Center’s information about unfair and deceptive acts. This content might give you some ideas or phrases to include in your petition for injunction. https://www.nclc.org/issues/unfair-a-deceptive-acts-a-practices.html
Do you like Ludacris more than you like yourself the government has hired him to put us out on the streets and a steal from us asking how I know because he’s doing it to me I know it from Baton Rouge I’m the bridge they told me I was going to spiritual in Little Rock Arkansas that’s how my journey began now I’m homeless without my kids and all they talk about is blood sacrifice for my family
Ludacris went to Baton Rouge in 2009 start doing spiritual triangles stealing from people he have hired some poeple from Baton Rouge like Christina Williams gave her a government job when she worked at Church’s chicken she wasn’t smart enough to work nowhere else he’s steal brain cells from people he used Baton Rouge to help him put poeple out on the street so all kinds of people who have became homeless they didn’t government jobs for do it there sex abusing kids in rituals and promoting children for a dollar all career cat attacking people help sending them to the hospital repeatedly that’s a lot of blood sacrifices happen he attacked a health and make them homeless
My sister is homeless with hiv and hep c she also has a mental disorder.she is awaiting for a hearing to try to get disability. Is there any programs that can help her get housing while waiting for her hearing?
There must be a social worker associated with the place where she gets her medical treatments. That social worker should be able to help her get into a safe and healthy housing arrangement. The National Healthcare for the Homeless Council shows additional resources to contact. https://www.nhchc.org/resources/consumer/need-help-now/ She might even be eligible to stay in a nursing home since she has those two conditions. Maybe if you try to get her into a nursing home and they reject her, they will at least give you leads to other local housing resources that can take somebody with her medical needs.
Homeless in Santa cruz with a live in van can park nightly where?
The “Safe Spaces Parking Program” is operated by the Association of Faith Communities in Santa Cruz. They can tell you where to park. http://afcsantacruz.org/#rvpark If you can’t reach anybody at the Association, you might just ask at any church whether they participate in this program and whether you can park in their lot.
Thanks soooo much

Try the Union Gospel Rescue Mission in Dallas. They strive to help the “last, lost, least, and lonely.” Eden Outreach is another shelter and service organization that might match his needs. Its services are tailored to former offenders in need of housing and friendship.
I’m currently homeless and my own mom has made even more hardship on me by conjuring up a case to take my kids. She even has my oldest child dad doing the same. They’ve even gotten the police to take my cat do now its even harder for me to see my kids. And this is all because I’ve slept in my car with my children some nights. I’ve always been in my kids life plus I won in court full custody because the dad was physically abusive. He now even violating orders and my mom is helping him
To get your kids away from an abuser, call child protective services. (If that link doesn’t work, navigate from this one https://www.childwelfare.gov/state-resources/
To enforce your custody decree, call a legal aid lawyer. This legal aid site asks for a zip code in order to locate the nearest office for you.
You can’t always call Child Protective Services they’re not on your side you have to seek other sources

Homeless people broke into my house that I was not living in because I was working on rehabbing the house to sell it . I was sick for a few months and did not check on if . I currently live in an Appt and the squatters broke in.They are trespassers because the do not have bge in their name because the power system in the basement needed to be replaced and costs thousands to replace and get turned on.xThdy have taken my mother’s pictures army and baby pictures TV ,radios and clthrs and valuable things, I want restitution and I am going to get the police to kick them out arrest them and board upbthe house. I feel for them because I was homeless but they stole from me and destroyed my home and took everything I had. Can I get restitution for what was taken and no I have no insurance.
If these people are homeless because of poverty, you cannot expect them to pay you restitution. They probably do not have any money to give you. Once the police are involved, you can apply for money through your state victims’ compensation fund. These funds are authorized by federal law. They typically pay for counseling and support in addition to property repair. Know, however, that victims compensation funds typically pick-up where insurance left off; they will be surprised to learn that you had no insurance on your property.
True !

Can someone help me and my fiance were homeless in Anaheim ca and cant seem to find any help because im a felon and on parole parole wont help us no one will but ive changed my ways and work 2 jobs now and im still homeless we are budgeting and everything but still cant find help
Take a look at the Housing and Re-entry Resources page from the Justice Center at the Council of State Governments. It will help you find local housing options as well as policy advocates who may be able to hook you up with some housing options. Here is a tip sheet on Connecting People Returning from Incarceration with Housing and Homeless Assistance. The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness drafted it for service providers, not for clients, but reading it might help you identify some helpful local service providers who can open doors that are otherwise shut to you.

I am homeless and and being sued in a civil lawsuit that I didn’t even sign the lease of I don’t even know how many years ago what do I do??
The document that notified you about the lawsuit must have had the name of the court on it. Find that court’s website and look for any rules or handbooks that it publishes. That research will help you to know procedures and lingo. Also, look for “landlord tenant” fact sheets and guidelines from legal aid offices in your state. Those will tell you about possible arguments to use if you do have to defend yourself as a tenant. You don’t have to be a tenant to get sued. Property owners often sue non-tenants for property damage and trespassing and causing a nuisance, for example.
Here are some general tips for representing yourself in court:

Today is may 23 2016
I went to apply for help at the social service today i let them know that I’m homeless and need there assistance they gave me a non relative forum for 2 people to sign they name to verify that I am homeless I didn’t even get interviewed they told me I have 10 business days to bring the form back I have no one to sign the forum what can I do to help myself please tell me
I don’t have a simple answer for you. I know this is a game they play to try to deny services. Even if you get an apartment and ask for help they do the same thing. I asked legal aid this question once and they had no constructive advice other than people needed to find the signatures.
If you don’t know anybody in the area what are you supposed to do? I would say if they refuse you to apply for a fair hearing and explain you don’t know anybody. All this takes time though. But it is so unfair to expect someone in this situation to have people to sign a form. It is an intentional way to try to get people to just go away. Sad, but true. I suppose in the case of being homeless you could stand outside with a sign asking for a handout and if you get anyone who seemed extra sympathetic explain to them quickly and have them sign it. Easier said than done, but it might work. If you really want to make a statement as well as try to get the signatures do it on the steps of the social services office. If you aren’t shy you could just grab the ear of people who are going in and out. They would be more understanding of your plight than others.
So I was leaving Denver Health Hospital when I noticed a homeless man being escorted off the property. I didnt think nothing of it until I started recording the incident and suddenly began to be harassed myself. I was told that if I didn’t stop recording that I would be arrested for illegally recording on private property. I need to know is it illegal to do what I did?
I need answers?
It always makes me suspicious when I hear people being told to turn their phones off. If they weren’t hiding anything they shouldn’t have issue with it if you are at a distance. I guess the key is to record far enough away they can’t see you at all. I think the hospital can have the homeless thrown off since it is private property. Each one has their own rules. But in other cases of being on public property there are places who don’t want people to know they aren’t helping the homeless so they chase them away. It is terrible what this country has come to and so many are totally unaware of it.
The ACLU explains how the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the right to take pictures when you are outside in public. See their “Know Your Rights: Photographers” guide to handling these situations.
I’m having major problems, I have a family of 6 2 adults and 4 children were about to be evicted from our home, our money is very low to none I’ve done a lot of research for help I don’t know what to do every place I’ve tried our income is over I feel like I’m getting no help at all I’m so upset trying to figure this out I’m desperate in this time of need. I don’t wanna loose my place or my children please help us
So you have too much money for the low income housing and not enough money for the regular income housing. This should not happen. But since it is happening to you and since the housing programs can’t help you, what do you think about these ideas? 1. You could go to a realtor and ask, “where can I get housing for a family of six with this many dollars per month?” Realtors deal with rentals as well as sales and they know the comparative price ranges in suburbs and neighborhoods. 2. This is a long shot, but what about calling your representatives in the state legislature and asking if they can help you identify affordable housing? When they hear that a household with two working adults and four children cannot make a living wage in their state, they may be able to at least undertake some policy changes… not that those changes will help you right now. Good luck.

What are my rights to use the bathroom in hospitals and department stores or a Wal-Mart, casino’s etc….
As a homeless woman i frequently use the bathroom of a nearby hospital because it’s cleaner than most store’s that that i’m near.
Whenever i enter the these places the employees always give me dirty looks and have me followed even tho i go in the restroom only. The hospital go as far as having security waiting by the information desk while i exit the premise.
The legal information relating to your question is in the post about homeless people using restrooms in privately operated buildings (as opposed to government buildings). It is likely that the security guards just want to check you out until they see that you never cause trouble. Eventually, they’ll just waive when you come by. Here is the post about homeless people and bathrooms. https://homelesslaw.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/what-legal-rights-do-users-of-public-bathing-facilities-have/

I was paid for May 2016 but i get out today why owner he don’t give me money back?
Most leases are measured by the month, not by weeks or days, so the tenant has to pay for the full month even if he or she moves in or out of the place partway through the month. The only way to find out if this is what happened to you is to look at the lease. Even if your lease does entitle you to a refund for the un-used days, you may have to wait a certain amount of time to get that money and your deposit money back. In my state, the landlord tenant law gives landlords up to thirty days to return that money.

Hi there,
My name is is Scott and called 911 on the 15th of May 2016. For days before so wasn’t feeling well. I has listless, vomiting and diarrhea severy. I have a nice home and beautiful wife with dogs. I hadn’t showered for a few day but was still compelled to get the weeds down in case of fire because I live on 5 acre.
The paramedics were very concerned about my condition because so was V Tac where do guess the bottom part of my heart was in define. I even dedicated in my pants on the way to hospital.
When I got to ER and the Dr came in to see me his first question to me was “Am I Homeless” and my response was no. I’ve got great insurance….Aetna PPO.
My question is that common bedside manner. Apparently they gave me something and saId slept for a few hours and woke up to know one. I went to the nurses station and saId so was free to leave. I felt no better than I walked in. I know so was dirty from yard work.
I don’t drink or do drugs. I expected to be kept overnight since I had a quintruple bypass along with a fem pop bypass in both of my legs 5 years ago. Not to mention both of my feet have been almost completely amputated from osteomyeliis. I know this can’t be the norm.
Nobody should get inadequate treatment at a hospital, whether they are homeless or not. Have you reviewed the record of your ER visit with your primary care physician or cardiologist to find out whether the medication, tests, and treatment that you got were appropriate? If you were mistreated because of a judgment that the ER made about you, because the ER staff were simply not thorough and careful in their work, or for any reason at all, consider filing a complaint with the hospital’s quality control office.
I have been living in a motel for over 2 years today I was trespassed simply because the manager does not like in addition me and my fiancee work at the motel.. My question is this procedure legal? From my understanding the manager has to evict legally am I wrong? If anyone can help with this please my 21 month old son is in the middle of this
The answer to this question is either in the rental contract between you and the motel or in your state’s landlord tenant law. If you are being charged with trespassing at a place where you are both employed and housed, be sure to show your defense lawyer proof of your right to be there. You might just meet the lawyer in the moments before your hearing. Here is this homeless law blog’s post about trespassing.

If you were previously named as an owner and you lost your ownership without being paid or agreeing to it, get in touch with the agency that handled the ownership change. Maybe it was the DMV or maybe it was the deeds office. If you don’t know where the ownership change officially happened, ask for proof of it from the dad. You might find out that he never really did make a change and is just lying to you. If the ownership did get changed, the office that handled the change will likely have a complaint process or an appeal process for arguing that your share of the trailer was taken away illegally. Try to get a legal aid lawyer; they work for free. Here are all of the Louisiana legal aid offices:

I was living in a independent home which my insurance was paying Well Care of Las Vegas. I moved in 3/29/2016. after compiling with all appointments and house rules … More than anyone I can say, appox 15 pplz waiting on SSI. Well they discharged me because of false allegations which was …SELLING DRUGS IN THE HOUSE… Let me tell you , I have never sold drugs in my life and also not only do I have no money or course all the clients have no money and sell there food stamps for cigs. I have taking piss test at there request and of course passed. They owner of the independence house text me 6/3/2016 . Said Im not welcome Call Well Care.They are just telling me the decision has been made . and I believe they cannot just kick me out #1,,,Also for something I have never done or did. What can I do. Please let me know asap. my phone 7025024851 Randy Massey randymassey11@yahoo.com
What is the source of your right to live in that place? Is it a contract or a government agency regulation or what? The answer to your question will probably come from that source. It might alternatively be in a policy manual for that particular independent home. When you look at the contract or laws or policy manual or other materials that you signed or received upon becoming eligible to live there, see if they say anything about “residents’ rights” or “due process” or “appeals” or “termination.” Those documents will probably explain the process for disputing their decision. Did you follow their instructions and call “Well Care”? Maybe “Well Care” is the only source that has the information you need.
Well I have been speaking with my insurance company Amerigroup as well as Well Care. Amerigroup is who pays for Well Care Services and was brought from my case worker after 3 attemps to kick alcohol. I have done alot of research with really no avail. My case manager said he will get to the bottom of this but of course has not and also a week prior said I am in long care treatment and soon will have new case worker. Approx. 2 weeks prior. When getting kicked out. I had gotton a text from one of the owners/ boyfriend of owners stating” I am not welcome there and your stuff is packed and ready to be picked up.If you have any questions call Well Care I immediately called him he stated to speak to Well Care. He would not state any reason for kicking me out just to phone them. I called Well Care and spoke to Anna of which is Supervisor over all case workers @ Well Care service. Keep in mind there service includes: A case worker..Housing. And Transportation.A thropist..A psychologist.. what ever is required, that you are expected to do.In which the the 2 above listed are manatory every 30 days is required. Once you have spoke to them..Than the help comes from your case worker. Which I presented to 2 case workers all the documentations of the consequences that had piled up over my alcohol 3 yr run..Which included: Domestic Violence Classes…Physical therapy. Community Service..Orthopedic appointments…Glasses…AA Meetings…Court Documintations..They or My Case worker from Insurance even said they would call about my IRS problems. Or lets just say what there services is to get the client in whatver is necessary to help you in any matter whether Court cases .anything holding u back in Society from contacting the business/ Supervisor regardless who or what it may intell …to handle most all matters and inform you the direction or must be done bye taking the full responsibility in each and every situation where basically handling the the matter bye being the spoke person and informing what is required bye you in resolving these issues. Which includes transportation and keeping a close follow up each day or couple days on the outcome and any problems..questions and concerns that may come up. Either living condition or responsibility of your requirements..appointments etc. Well after one month and speaking to two case workers.I was getting my own rides to all mt appointment and handling everything myself even after a broken knee cap on 2/5/ 2016. I had surgery and be on bed rest for almost a month and a half. When I entered one of the homes was 3/29/2016 on crutches and immobilizer on right knee. Witnessing seeing a schzior.. a overdose on another client ( which put him in a como for I believe a month…and Well Care moving another client which apperently had been there I believe 3 months – 6 months ..From what I witnessed is he didnt want to leave Los Posas House a VICTORIA Independent house . ..When Well Care put him in another house. .I believe 2 days later he had commited suicide bye taking his pills and Drinkinking Gallon of Vodka. With that said. I also witnessed the state coming out to inspect the house and the pill invoice and reports that are to be done dailly to Well Care. The owner boyfriend stated the are not allowed in the house and they wanted to interview me and I said that would be fine but I believe you should bw speaking to the house manager. The few that that did just showed them around or either answerd questions that were asked bye the state and my opinion was shouldnt u be speaking to the manager…I believe I was at that house for 3 weeks until they moved me to Pinion Jay House. A VICTORIA independent they have 3. One all women. At that time I could barely get up stairs where my bedroom was 4 to a room ..A four bedroom 3 bath which we wernt permitted to use downstairs bathroom. That was a pain. Keep in mind on 3/29/2016 appox 4 pm my intake from the sister of boyfriend did my intake without my insurance card it was in vehicle which I was brought bye a lady friend who is 65yrs and was well awhere of the things that went on as I told her. So to answer your first question I just initialled what she tole me to and said I will get the rest of the information. She was another house manager she was 24 yrs. Another is 21 yrs. another 62 yrs. So I did never get a copy and have told my insurance I want a copy and all the names who were in the house when I got kicked out bye text and spent the night( 65yr lady Im refering to ) I spent the night on June 1 2016 left signed out appox 11:30am which you can have 24hrs but as usual I had to spend the night in order for me to sign up for community service which statis ck is June 23 2016. I spent almost every other Sunday to get to my Domestic Violence Class on Mondays or Wednesday one time per week. I have made a grievance with insurance company about 2 weeks or more and they said a letter will be mailed 3-5 days . NO LETTER YET. Also spoke to many insurance people including the Supervisor of my Case worker and a Caluge of my case worker that simply says that they have no control over Well Care. Thats odd they pay them!!! Very well. Supervisor states its not their responsibility to find the truth..thats like saying..Im dont know what there policy and procedures are and have no idea what services are being done. Or sending them to a Health Provider with Mental Behavior Problems and havent a clue what it entails but pays 1300. Or more or 200-300 a night. Please!!!! So when I was asked about a month ago to come to the Well Care clinic bye a case worker unexpectedly. I rode with him and was told we are going down there so you can tell ur case worker what services you need. Well I already have had 2 and brought all my files and has told them both when I met each one. With a follow up call everyday for a week. With No service provided or call back. I sat there 5 hrs and a lady named Anna. .Supervisor of all case workers ask are u Randy. Said yes . She introduced herself and I said what the hell Am I down here for .( my case worker was off that day or wasnt there that day Anna said. She waved her hand said come in let talk in my office. She ask everything ok at the house. I replied yes ..seems to be after 2 ppl had gotten moved out one for alcohol in room and refused a drug test and taking ppls stuff and starting fights with everyone..staying up for days and taking a ebt cars from a Client and spent $40.00 dollars on it list goes on.The other was like Well Cares Poster boy and knows the owner and Vice president very well. He is I believe 64 yrs and just spreads rumors and had been in at least 8 houses for gossip lies to get what he wanted. He was there the day I spoke with Anna ask her to be my case worker she said she couldn’t cause she’s Supervisor. I had met the Vice President Lou and Owner Al..I asked if Lou would be my case worker and was giving a piece of paper with cell phone and ext # to office. Told me to call Monday ..called 3 times for 4 days straight.No return call. So Anna that day said everything is ok. I said seems to be.She ask if any drugs were being used I sayed I think they moved that one.She ask if I was doing drugs. I explained to her my 2 nd case worker called me 2 weeks ago and was told I was selling drugs. I asked him who ..the guy that got kicked out and was my roomate and thinks Im to blame so he says that. He said u know there is consequences for that. I said imagine that..Thats odd…I said I took a drug test the day before everyone did.Next day I met my 2 nd case worker he is (new) and the next day everyone was tested when I met him . I said I took a test day before and the day I met him he called that evening.I said sir u need to check into things like that before coming at me like that.I tole Anna that. Than I said I will take a drug test anytime u ask. She said really..She said u dont mind takin one now.I said hell no Ive been sitting here for 5 hrs. I did and no positive. She said ok. You can come back tomarrow and we can get all ur services needed.Anna was off the next day and they did not come get me. About 2 weeks had to go in see therapist and psychologist and a lady who Anna spoke to got me a thirty day bua pass from another company if u have 5 appointments in one week they will issue u bus pass. I had to be rite there she said to talk to them.Well she said I come there every day 5 days a week to get me that. 2 months prolly been there maybe 8~times if that. Lied. Anyway..Finally got case worker named Courtney. She did more in 3 hrs than Well Care had done for 2 months. Ok about 2 days later got a text which I stated. When I called Well Care spoke to Anna said ur being kicked out for selling drugs in the house. She said u need to pick ur stuff up here at well care .I said the owner said to come to the house. She said you will get arrested for tresspassing.She said did u come home last night I said wth..I clocked out and wrote it down and the 21 yr old Manager knew I what I needed to do. She said she will call me back in 20 mins. Lou called Vice president and said to pick it up at the house .of course important legal papers missing clothes etc. So i decided to get to work. I called Insurance for grievance. Than called Main Headquarters of Well Care. They said I need a Id # on prescription they could not find me under insurance # ss# name nothing. So I went down there at wells care and wanted to speak with Lou. He said week later when I spoke to him he said u need to come back when owners in Monday or Tuesday..My lady friend was there and he said we all need to sit down with my case worker from insurance and see what Rob the owner will say.He said dont try to get a rent voucher yet. I ask for my id # and discharge papers that day. When we came Tuesday Rob made me sit an hour in car and came said all we can do is put u in Salvation Army they may have bed one night but may NOT the next. He kept telling me u got kicked out cause ur hostility. I said no thats what I was not told please call owner who happen to be there that day and I spoke with him he said they wanted to move me. Well he took me back in office with Lou and was typing on the computer while talking to me and said yup. Here it says u were caught selling drugs on June 2 nd!!! He also said ur being recorded now. I said what..He said u dont mind if I record this. I said hell yes because ur wrong. You said the owners wanted me out. Than say I was caught selling drugs. I said I want my discharge papers now and my id #. He said he will fax it to me . I said No. He also said He doesnt know about an Id #. They dont have Id # s.. He said ur case manager will call u and u can get ur papers tomorrow. It has been a week on this Monday or Tuesday.Obviously he had started writing it and has not done or running into problems. Because I said to my lady friend that there is got to be a way to find out where I was the June 1st and guess what I was at my ladies house on that date because the text was on the 2nd next day. I wasnt even there on the first!!!! As for there policy and procedures there web site has been down for at least a month. And Lou tried to tell me my first drug test showed a different kind of benzo..I said please.. Yall are trying your best to make an excuse but the truth. I take zanax ibuprofen and bloodpressue med. How can u tell if it is a different kind of benzo. Bullshit. There the same family and I havent took a different kind of benzo at all lie again. So tell me what I should do, I am going to call Monday and they better have my discharge papers which I was kicked out. And a id # and find out the policy and procedures bye both. Alot of stuff left out which is proff that they are kicking me out and saying the whole house says you were. Please I dont even know all of them and 2 elderly ladies and when tried to pick up important legal papers after taking with owner of well care. i called earlier and Manager said they had them now they said when I got there they were took to well care. I said we have been there since 2:00 pm. I was homless for the first time for 2 days. I am staying at a former halfway house and explained cant get rent voucher until July 12th had one last year. I want to go down there and explain to them maybe they will give me one. But I had a job interview for district manager at a Midas and I believe I have it. My knee is not fully healed and alot of legal work needs to be done. And most important THIS IS A LAW SUIT! Dont u agree. A lady from my insurance called spoke to me and I spoke to her about 25 mins before meeting with attorney. She ask if she can call me back.I said if u can help me. If you cant dont bother . Alot of time wasted…kicked out for a major offense that is completely not true have missed appointments and dont know yet if I have job or not and mt knee killing me 8 months to a year. What do I do.

I have been scanned and not paid by 2 contractors in a row now I am going homeless and losing eveything……need help if it is real and is there. It seems like these people do wht they want
Are you saying that you did some work for those contractors and did not get paid? Did you send them invoices? Do you have any documentation, even email, associated with doing the work? Was this day labor with other people who could say that they were on the job with you? If you have any kind of proof, you can go to the police and ask if they’ll charge these contractors with “theft of services” and you can sue in small claims court to get your pay. If you need help with small claims court, see if you can find forms or instructions or a lawyer from your legal aid office. http://www.lsc.gov/what-legal-aid/find-legal-aid
My fiance and I have had it hard. We have been together for almost two years and have dreamed to have the most beautiful wedding with all our close friends and family there. Problem is, my family don’t like him and his family don’t like me. The reason why is because our age. See, he is 21 and I am 30 and everybody has their opinion on why we shouldn’t be together. We’ve been through so much including health problems and financial problems. We are currently homeless and living in my grandma old house where there is no heat in the winter or air in the summer. I live in Central Louisiana and you know it’s hot. The reason I’m on here is because recently they cut my fiance hours and the money we had saved we had to use to pay bills in the house. So now that we are broke and jobless we are being evicted with 2 weeks to get out and nowhere to go. I never thought my family would just throw me out in the the streets like that and I’m asking for help, please can anyone out there just give us an opportunity to get on our feet. I’m begging. Please if anyone can help that would be great.
Please my fiance and I are willing to exchange room and board for work. We really need help. If anyone willing to please contact me at ashleybraxton85@gmail.com

I don’t understand what happened with the unemployment office. Can you reach the Salvation Army? They might be able to come and get you. They can give you a safe place to rest and food to eat. Also go to http://www.211.org which will connect you with your local United Way. United Way funds just about every agency that provides social work services. Fill-in the quick form on your United Way site to find out about nearby agencies that can provide emergency food, housing, money, and help with a job search.
Are you allowed to bring in prescribed Xanax and prescribed Percocet and Xanax to a church homeless shelter to maybe put in locker or your purse…or do you have to leave your prescriptions in the office locked
It is very common for shelters to control all of the residents’ medications, whether prescription or over-the-counter. Generally, they do this to prevent drug addicted residents from stealing medicine that belongs to other residents. There is not a specific law authorizing shelters to do control residents’ medications, but the state’s public health code does obligate them to maintain safe and healthy premises. Dispensing prescription medications at the proper times helps to assure that residents comply with their medication regimes and have a lower risk of spreading disease. Basic contract law entitles private shelters to make rules, such as this one, that serve as conditions under which people can live at the shelter.
I am a USMC disabled vet, was living on the streets. My Brother took me in after his wife left him for another man. My Brother passed away in November last year now his stranged wife is trying to take over the house and will evict me. Is there anything I can do to no to lose the house?
Hi Linda my name is cindy I’ve been living with my daughter off and on for two years I’m a convicted felon my charge is eight years old the landlord knows i be been here here for over a year and now wants to throw me out in the street my daughter pays the rent and I help with the baby for her to work and I have a pending app for ssi and there are convicted felons who live in the complex to can she do this
The first research question here is what legal basis the landlord might have for forcing a tenant’s parent to vacate. Ordinarily, the lease is the source of information to consult for this legal basis. Does your daughter’s lease say that she cannot have company? Does her lease establish an occupancy limit? Most tenants are allowed to increase their household size by a factor of one; people get married and have babies after all. Read the lease carefully so that you and your daughter can speak knowledgeably to the landlord. The next source to consult regarding the landlord’s legal position is the state code. Perhaps there is something about your particular conviction that conflicts with the landlord’s statutory obligations to other tenants. This might possibly be the case if you are on a watch list, for example. If you have even the slightest whiff that the landlord’s reason for wanting you out is related to the disability for which you are seeking SSI, think about filing a fair housing complaint with HUD. You can read about that process at http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/online-complaint
The next research question is how the landlord can force a tenant’s parent to vacate. If you are not on the lease, do you count as a trespasser? That does not seem likely since you are welcomed there by your daughter who is a lawful possessor of the apartment, but maybe the owner’s wishes can override the tenant’s wishes. Maybe in your state the owner has to evict you, even though you are not on the lease. In that case, you have the chance to argue against the eviction. Look to lawhelp.org and your the website of your local legal aid office for suggestions about defending yourself against an eviction. Maybe the landlord is threatening not to renew your daughter’s lease unless you leave. Again, look to the lease for any guidance about that. Most landlords do have the option of not renewing leases, just as tenants do.
I have a guestion I’ve been living with my daughter for over a year all of a sudden the llandord wants to do a background and threw me out for not passing NY crime is eight years old but there other felons live her and don’t have to move she knows I have know where to go but to be homeless and I have a pending ssi my daughter pays the bills I feel discranated agaisnt

Get in touch with the Lifeline Program Director at Jewish Family Services in Oregon. 503-226-7079, ext. 121 Their services are for all members of the community, not just Jewish people. If they can’t help you because of how far East you are, they may be able to connect you with nearby services.
Thank you so much! I just saw your response! I will contact them tomorrow, as we are still in the same situation. It’s sad that domestic violence victims can’t get any help because shelters are full. It’s like being victimized all over again because living on the street is dangerous. We were even kicked out of a Pilot Truck Stop parking lot at 6am while we were sleeping! Theres not even anywhere to park your car safely to sleep. I’ve even tried to get help from the police. Nothing. Thank you for responding to me : )

My my husband and daughter are homeless in the car my daughter has been back and forth to you parents house since she has a spot there but comas with us when she misses us. Her other grandma has been calling cps and trying to get an expartr by lying and saying they she does not know our where abouts and saying we abuse our child by fighting around her and using drugs when we don’t We been staying away from her andd get family because they all alienated us and only allow my daughter to see then which has already been a big impact on how our daughter was treating us. So we stopped and now in goinvto court for trying to protect my relationship with my daughter and keep ourvfamily together. I don’t feel the need to let two courts invade my privacy because of some stupid lady fighting for what’s not hers. She tried convincing my husband to take my daughter and run away and come to her house and I won’t be able to do nothing about it. She is interfearing with my life and causing more bumps in my road. I’m paranoid that cps is following me trying to find reason to desperate a family and little then in more imminent risk of abuse . I didn’t let her grandma have unsupervised visits unless I knew that her grandmas estranged undocumented boyfroend was not around. Other than that I didn’t allow it and she has gotten mad enough to not accept my answer and think she had a bigger chance winning by falsely accusing us of domestic violence and abuse with no real evidence just by words
If anyone has a room 4 a couple or just my wife… affordable, anywhere close to North San Diego County I would appreciate any assistance. Also seeking advice legal and or personal we are homeless just received our section 8 voucher in the City of Oceanside but have been unable to secure housing yet. Police and CPS took our three children a few nights ago and now threatening us to move out of the area or else we will be arrested. We are doing everything that we have been directed to do to reunify our family but everyday without my children is unacceptable to me. This is the first time I’ve seen this site and it appears that a lot of helpful information is available but I do not have time this instant to read it all but I will. Thank you.

I am HOMELESS and I am looking for a place to stay until the next week and I am not getting any help from TRA And my fiance is with and we are still looking and it’s hard..
Put me and my neighbor out on the streets knowing we are single parents trying to raise our young children due to someone else’s actions on the property and knowing this wasn’t the first time with the same person fighting outside with a weapon involved. And knowing the police and many others knowing this one person causing the problem was a just released from prison and knowing he was a convicted felon wasn’t suppose to be on the property. I’ve been living at my apartment since November 2013 with no rights up to my attention. And my neighbor just had moved in December of 2015 with no write ups or warnings. She was the one that ran and picked the weapon up and took it into another apartment. The guy that had the weapon left with his gf after they fought and 3 mins later the police everywhere they recovered the weapon. And few mins later the landlord shows up and her boss showed up mad and threatening that someone or more than was gonna be giving a 3 day eviction. They question a few people n talked to a few. I talked and told her what happened at the office late at night 10pm on a Friday and told me that she was allowing me to keep my apartment and warned me about others staying with me more then 2 days out of a 14 day period. And I agreed and ok it and went home. Then my neighbor goes n talks with her and she was gonna evict her. 10 mins later the landlord boss came and got me for the 2 time and I have my 5 month old son and it’s 11:30pm. I walked back to the office and told me I had 72 hours to be out. had to be out by that following Monday and it was mothers day weekend. As I spoke with my neighbor and she told me that she wasn’t being evicted now and the boss throw up her paper for her eviction. the following day after that my neighbor got a text from the land lady tell her that her boss was going to evicted her too. and on our eviction notice she marked out the ten days and wrote 0 and healthy and safety of a weapon. how can she do that when we was known of a weapon or had any involvement. Put and my neighbor out on the streets knowing we are single parents trying to raise our young children due to someone else’s actions on the property and knowing this wasn’t the first time with the same person fighting outside with a weapon involved. And knowing the police and many others knowing this one person causing the problem was a just released from prison and knowing he was a convicted felon wasn’t suppose to be on the property. hi.The two family members was fighting and this been a on going thing with these two guys. Few years back they got into a fight as me n alot others including the law officers but the guy that had the weapon stab the other guy(cousin) causing him to lose a kidney. We went to the mayor she on our side and states it’s wrong and legal aid was going to take our case but they have us 4 days to get a lawyer n at court I asked for a continuous of ten days for the legal aid to take our case we did as she asked us n requested it n the judge said no. But as everyone around here knows the boss n judge are real close. We need help she signed guardian ship to her dad for her kids as well as I had to for my kids to my mother n I got a job since this but I’m still homeless and missing my kids due to all this.

Hi I am 23 years old I lost my state I.d and I’m trying to gey into a shelter with my two year old baby boy what do I do ?
You can probably order your replacement I.D. card online from the DMV or other government agency that issued it. They will have your photo and signature on file. If you do not have a credit card to pay for the replacement ID card, the shelter can probably refer you to the local agency that will handle the transaction with you. In the alternative, go in person to the government ID office. They will have you sign your name and they will look to see if you match your picture. At some point, you should also order a copy of your birth certificate from your state’s vital records office and store it with someone who can keep things safe for you. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/w2w/ It would also be a good idea to get to the nearest Social Security office as soon as you can. They will ask you a series of questions from your Social Security record that only you will know the answers to. If you can answer those questions and produce either your birth certificate or other government issued photo identification, you will be able to get a replacement Social Security card. This too should be stored in a safe place, not carried around.

My fiance of 5 years threw my daughter and I out of the house which was in his name. He kept my son and I ended up signing temporary custody to him because I didn’t understand the law and he was very threatening, he was extremely abusive throughout the relationship but I kept it as secretive as possible although several times it happened in front of the kids so they did call for help n the Police did come but because of his families money and influence in the community nothing ever happened. And now here I am homeless still working but I can’t seem to get enuf money for a place to live and my ex has threatened and bribed my family not to help me n they won’t . As a mother of 2 a 14 year old girl who’s father signed his rights away when she was almost 2 and a 5 year old boy whom my ex is literally use to hurt me with , it’s been a very long hard struggle not to give up . If it wasn’t for my kids I know I wouldn’t still be here but just the thought of them keeps me going. I reached out for help through the Abused Adult Resource Center and not knowing my exes sister worked there she was fired and shortly after a lawsuit between the AARC and my exes sister needless to say they will not help me anymore but before they stopped helping they told me this was one of there worst cases in 20 years n that I should think about going under ground . Well I didn’t feel my kids should live that way so I decided to fight for what’s right and because I’m a nobody who has no money and he’s a somebody who has money I’m still homeless n begging every day to see my son. Alo,g with depression because of all this I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD due to the extreme abuseit wasn’t no slap on the face or shove it was strangled till unconscious or several occasions a loaded gun to the side of my head or in my mouth sometimes beat n to exhausted n sore to move that I just lay there for an hour before moving and almost after every time he assulted me hed have sex with me . But I was scared still of him when he gave me those papers to sign and so I did n for the last year I’ve begged & begged to see my son I know I need a place to live but that’s been a struggle to my depression & PTSD make it hard to keep a good job and I have no help with my daughter who stays with a friend from school but I still pay for e everything . The one thing that I want more than anything is a place to live nothing great just liveable and to have my 2 children there with me that’s it that’s all I want it sounds so easy but for me it’s been nothing but an uphill struggle and all on my own . I guess I didn’t mention that my exes 15 year old also molested my son several times there were 2 witneses and several police investigations but my exes father is best friends with the States Attorney so nothing has been done so I’ve been fighting that to……If anyone can help please let me know.

Hello I’m a homeless mother of two children, me and my children have been homeless for over 3 years. I live in the city of Newark ,NJ and have been trying to find some help from all the agencies that Newark has for homeless families. Most of these agencies expect for you to be on drugs or have a terminal disease.The most you can get is to be put in a shelter (temporary) , which doesn’t help my situation because I have a partime early morning job, and in order to stay I would have to quit my job since I can’t leave my children alone or that would be a Child Service case. I’m in desperate need of help, its not fair that my children have to be bounce around from place to place. I’m on public housing waiting lists which who knows how many more years that will take.
Please someone help me and my son pay for hotel room we are homeless and every day we get up before check out and stand by one of the nearest store and panhandle the room rent

Can an employee who becomes homeless be fired. Texas law.
According to the Texas Workforce Commission, Texas follows the doctrine of employment at will. This means that employers can change the terms of the job or fire an employee for any reason or for no reason. Here is how the TWC explains it http://www.twc.state.tx.us/news/efte/pay_and_policies_general.html. Texas employees do have legal rights, however: the right to be paid fair wages and the right to work without discrimination. Here is a page about employee rights in Texas. http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobseekers/employee-rights-laws Since you were fired, be sure to apply for unemployment benefits. http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobseekers/unemployment-benefits-services The unemployment office will help you identify new job opportunities. Here are their job search links. http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobseekers/job-search Also take a look at the federal Department of Labor’s Career Stop which has very good training videos, guidance about applying for jobs, and a job search tool. http://www.careeronestop.org/ Good luck!
I have been homeless for approximately three years. The last woman I was married to for 7 years fed me ant poison in my coffee and food…. she was trying to kill me over a period of several years to collect a $250,000 life insurance policy she was involved with someone downstate I didn’t know about ,..all of the evidence was destroyed I lost my home my land everything. I lost my bank account my 401k even my grandchildren I’m living in my pickup truck because the last two employers I work for refuse to pay me my Paychex they figured because I was poor I couldn’t hire an attorney. I’m still living in my pickup truck no job I have my little girl my little dog … she has plenty of food and water I don’t know where my next job is coming from I have $12 to my name I’ve been trying to get help but to no avail I am 61 years old the and poison is taking its toll on me degenerative joints pancreatitis breathing problems inflammation in my lower extremities and I can’t get help I’ve never stopped believing in myself and my little beagle I will never forsake her she has been the best friend that I’ve ever had I don’t know when the last time I had a good meal but I always make sure she has food one way or another it is very difficult when your homeless penniless the way people look down upon you regardless of the situation we are all Someone’s Child…. I guess in a way it makes a person appreciate who they are heartwise…. I live in the state of Virginia Frederick County Winchester area and to get help here is like to try to put out a forest fire with a whisk broom you can try but it isn’t going to happen ….my prayers are with everybody on this blog my kind thoughts my heart it is difficult when your stomach hurts to smile but one has to manage as for her no evidence was found she’s living in Florida with the other guy she was trying to kill me over. …. take care everyone never forget to pray never forget yourself
I’ve been in “family shelters since June 2014, it’s July 2016… I’m back in path, for the 3rd time ,at the last shelter Volunteers of America I thought we were finally get the help we need, I didn’t sign 1day cause it was extremely hot last Thursday, my son couldn’t breath so I stayed somewhere else , when I got back just told me me you have to go back to PATH, your case got closed, I called everyone, nobody help once agian…. my son has Adhd, anxiety, ptsd, it was sooo hard for me to find him a right school last year in brooklyn, where he is finally doing well.. I’m on control medication, for anxiety disorder with agoraphobia, chronic depression, psicosis episodes, and recently recover from drug abuse. … before I left to PATH again from Volunteers of america, in brooklyn, they assure me that since I always follow their rules, I don’t give any problems and never stayed out, just to reopen my case at PATH and can go back with them ,in the same room where here all our belonging are….beliving them was naive , here at path a lady in a rude way told “no!!you can’t decide that or them ,is up to us, most likely you will be in another shelter! “I felt so bad, my son was blaming him and crying to please leave to thestreet, they lied to me again, at Volunteers of America since September 2015 been asking me over 600 times for the same papers to get us supportive housing, 3 times changed our moving date, my depression and anxiety got really bad so my son’s! They knocked at the room almost everyday and open the door many times when I was on the shower or sleeping on my medications that have to increase in order to sleep, 2 fires ,no alarms sounded, my son got scared since then thinking that he was going to burn while sleeping! !!is that normal, and help I wonder? Isn’t common sense that a kid with asthma could very in a room over 100 degrees? CausING your mental illness got worst at a point that a kid rather to die before go back to “Volunteers of America the greater shelter “?I don’t think so, we were exposed to psychosocial pressure, almost injured by those fires without alarmsy!!!nobody deserves to be treated like you comiited a crime an being in “jail rules “( I’m not even writing the othesssdr half of breaking our rights )lying, brsinwashing, threatenings, bullying, ignorant, inhumane, no feelings. …..is that A
Even though you called everyone at VOA, you might as well try to appeal the decision in writing. In your appeal, you will have to acknowledge the mistake you made by not showing up and request that they please make a rule exception since you were dealing with a health matter. If you do not have the materials to write an appeal, use a computer at the nearest public library. Format the appeal as a letter to the director of your VOA office and say that you are writing to request that they reconsider the decision to stop working with you.
I feel for everyone who is homeless. I worked hard for 45 years lived by the rules, helped people & animals. Because my husband passed away without life insurance I lost our house & am now homeless. My husband lived for the day & never worried about tomorrow, now I am paying for it. My family acts like I’m a burden, won’t listen when I talk about my husband or how scared I am, cause I don’t know what’s going to happen to me. I’m 64 & all alone except for my dog & cats. I’m living in a tent now by my sisters. Her husband doesn’t want me here, so where I’ll go next I don’t know. I wished I would have died instead of my hubby……

Am in Chicago and both my life partner of 10 year and I am facing losing our housing because housing shortage and both on disability. We have a 5 year Old kitty that is also been our therapy kitty do to health issues.
So am scared of losing her plus the mayor passed law that cats get put down if in city shelter or found on street even if you are homeless and have they will take her away.
Is there any shelters in Chicago that will let you keep your pet while in the homeless shelter. We live in Edgewater ( Chicago ) and have housing advocate but don’t care what happens too her or us as long as they can take control of our ssdi income. Bad part we have health issues that require lots of meds and our kitty helps us stay happy even when get to the why bother she gives us a reason to.
Just wanted to know what if any Shelters are around where we live that let us keep her and not have her put down do to city not housing cats. Just not that we don’t have income its no low income housing here mayor just want high income housing and that it.
What can we do asking for help before it is to late to get help😞
I am 23 and living in Orange County ca. I went to California when I was 22 to get “away from it all”. I was playing around with some drugs and didn’t want that anymore so decided
With the help of my auntie to go into a program. Well stupid me met a boy of course and we got an apartment together. We don’t get along now and I want to move . Can’t afford in my own tho. Anyone have a room or studio? My aunt will help me with rent .
Can my mom actually kick me out if I’m in disability because of health reasons, I support the house financially, mentally and physically, have no where to go and it’s the only place I’ve ever lived? I am 34 years old but I am the only one that gets money in the household besides my dad who works and my brother who is mentally handicapped. My mom is going through her own demons right now. She needs to be admitted to a psych facility I do believe. She had been on OxyContin and clorazapate for years. Well her doctor up and quit leaving her with no medicine. When she got into my pain specialist she didn’t like the fact that he moved her down to only 80mgs of oxycodone a day and took her off her benzo because of the new law they passed. So she went out and found another pain doctor and he wrote her suboxene. Now she is very hateful. I never hear or see her complain about pain anymore and the signs of withdrawal are not there anymore. But according to her she is still going through them. She won’t move off the couch and won’t do anything for herself. She hangs on her cell phone all day causing out last bill to be over 600. Anytime I suggest she do something or tel her doctor her actual symptoms so he can help her she gets mad and then proceeds to hit me and drag me by the hair. She never used to be this way. Everyone is wrong and she is the one right person. Tonite when I stood up for myself she said I had to move out that she was calling the cops on me. I didn’t hit her back or pull her hair out. I just pinned her down and told her she had to stop hitting me whenever she felt like it. My mom has turned herself into a invavild. I also don’t have a car at the moment. There is five cars I our property and me and my dad are the only ones that drive but I can only drive mine. I think my dad has actually delayed fixing mine because he likes the fact that I am stuck at home 24/7 while he works. And I can’t take my car to th shop and fix it because the car is actually still in his name. Will I get brought up on abuse charges because she is trying to say that also. I have no where to go either. I have very few friends. So this is my dilemma. I don’t know who to talk to. Or who to call for help. Hopefully this will help point me in the right direction. I appreciate everything

Where are the funds hiding in my home town?
I have a manager who is throwing me out of my apt. she said, it’s becaue I housing athority isn’t paying them. I’m so upset, I have to get out next week. I have m.s. a worker called her and they said things about me that aren’t true. like not trying to find a home. I’m getting yelled at by them and treated bad. i have to give up all I have and be homeless on the 31st next week with no place to go. Health Dept. came to inspect my apt. I’m breathing mold and carbon mon in my apt. I’m going to be 63 next week.
How are you getting thrown out? Has there been an eviction hearing? It sounds like you are getting subsidized by the housing authority. The housing authority most likely gets its subsidy money from HUD. So file a “Bad Landlord” complaint with HUD as soon as you can. They have a toll-free number that you can call. If you do get an eviction hearing, bring the papers where the health department wrote about the mold and carbon monoxide. Here is an advice page about the right to live in housing that does not have health hazards.
If a couple been sprayed for 2 1/2 years and she moves back to the state he is in and she is homeless can he put her in a shelter or does he have find her a place?
It is possible that your state’s law on “spousal support” might obligate one spouse to provide support for the other while they are in the process of getting divorced. Here is a good resource from NOLO Press that explains spousal support and links to state laws.

The answer depends on your purchase agreement and financing deal. Just to be sure, you should contact your state attorney general’s office and ask if your state has a consumer protection law that allows car buyers to return vehicles if they change their mind about having made the purchase.

Married couple looking for shelter in calif that will take us together no children just need a stable place to get back up on our Feet please help us..
I was injured at work in 2010. My lawyer lied, I have a non renewal of lease. My ex husband was abusive. Iv been homeless since July 2015. I have a masters degree, tried 5 jobs I’m chronically ill. Asthma, diabetes on insulin, ddd, pcos, stenosis in my lumbar, cervical disc herniated. My list is endless. I sleep in a car that needs repairs in phila pa. I wrote to my government the Senetors, govoner, begging to go in front of my Administrative law judge. In philly it takes 3 years. I believe my government is committing slow genocide to me. They never assisted me w housing. At this point I would rather God take me. Each day is hell. Usa is a 3rd world now. Food at pantries is over 2 years old. Hospitals only need to stabilize you and let you go. Iv written about food stamps, I’m homeless I do not carry a stove. In freezing weather I should be allowed hot tea, hot soup for medical reasons but people in power positions make these rules. I am now seeking the assistance of the United nations because my country is violating human rights. They took my social from my paychecks and every refugee in philly pa gets weldare, stamps, section 8 housing. Not fair. This country is not my country. When citizens must beg for what is theirs. I really hope every politician must be homeless for a week. Try to survive. I’m now seeking counsel to hold my government responsible. Social threatened me they can’t process a claim without my birth certificate I gave it, they lost it. As far as I’m concerned usa is 3rd world. No jobs I’m discrimined based on health, age I’m 49 and Education discrimination. I see so many homeless people, my government has subjected me to being abused from my ex, to living conditions that even Maslows hyiarcie of needs he would be crying. I’m trying to leave usa but I’m fighting being this sick. I’m writing my will and this government, lawyers. Will pay a price.

According to Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 100.1 through 100.599, which explains how HUD carries out the Fair Housing Act, shelters may not discriminate on the basis of disability. If this has happened to you, you can file an online complaint with HUD.
Here is the prohibition part of the regulations 24 CFR 100.1 :
It is the policy of the United States to provide, within constitutional limitations, for fair housing throughout the United States. No person shall be subjected to discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin in the sale, rental, or advertising of dwellings, in the provision of brokerage services, or in the availability of residential real estate-related transactions.
Here is the part that defines shelters as dwellings where discrimination is prohibited 24 CFR 100.121:
“Examples of dwelling units include: a single family home; an apartment unit within an apartment building; and in other types of dwellings in which sleeping accommodations are provided but toileting or cooking facilities are shared by occupants of more than one room or portion of the dwelling, rooms in which people sleep. Examples of the latter include dormitory rooms and sleeping accommodations in shelters intended for occupancy as a residence for homeless persons.”

Thank you Linda for taking interest in this subject that most people turn away from they can’t be bothered, it doesn’t pertain to them there for they don’t want to crap out their day with such Negative subjects as homelessness. Most people view a person who’s homeless as a person who choose to not reform to the system and values of our democracy. Which is not the case. What most people fail to realize is that for themselves homelessness is just two missed mortgage payments due to loss of the main income earners job. Illness,, sudden death can put a family in the streets if there’s nothing to help them through a financial hardship like a death or job lay off. There’s many other ways that things can go sour pretty quickly. To stick head in sand and think it never happen to you is not a wise choice. It can happen to you. It will happen to someone close you sometime in the near future. I could never understand why our local and federal government wasn’t planting fruit and citrus and avocado trees in parks and in shopping centers. No one should ever go hungry. Shade trees can also provide food for the humans on our planet. No one should ever go hungry or become homeless unless they want a lifestyle that’s free from obligations of home ownership mortgage, or paying rent etc…. The American Dream really isn’t every body’s cup of tea. But on same breath people deserve a place to go to eat,shower and sleep that’s safe. The streets aren’t safe and even some homeless shelters are far from safe.l police often target helpless down and out people as easy busts to meet quotas. Homeless won’t hire a fancy attorney who will nail the cops for bad police work and their shady ways of harassing people that really cops need to be helping not hunting!!!!! It’s disgusting how homeless people are treated! Thank you LINDA.
I’m sorry I repeated myself in first comment about people should never go hungry. I meant to say it one time and say that if we opted for a this planet and everyone on it we are responsible for making sure that children are cared for, they don’t know what true hunger is and they never have to sleep in a car other than camping trip or while mom and dad drives them somewhere. It would renggfhWe spend all kinds of money over to other countries for reasons we are lied to about. We let evil people who have made sure their Stmaches are never empty even in a crisis throw out to countries our food money and they don’t care. They know the numbers on homelessness & hunger. THEY JUST DONT CARE.
Does anyone know the legalities surrounding this situation: I was working at a hotel. Ibhad just been promoted from night audit to GM. We had a homeless family staying in the hotel. One day they had run out of money and weren’t sure where they were going. I paid out of my pocket for one more night, plus gave them some money to feed the kids.
I was promptly fired because the hotel “doesn’t want THOSE kind of people staying here”.
My contract was a verbal contract for 3 months but I was fired after a week.
Any clue as to the law? Nebraska

I’m talking about the 7 Star motel in Denver Colorado
Isn’t it a criminal offense for rooming house staff to pursue the tennants; sexually, financially or both? I’ve lived in rooming houses/boarding houses since 2008 and it’s like there are no laws governing the housing situation. I never get any kind of lease agreement; landlord’s word kept and they hire drug addicted felons who you can guess have hiv/aids that pursue the tenants. Then hiv/aids inffected tenants pursue hiv negative tenants when it’s illegal to spread hiv/aids (in the name of having children too). Whose side are the cops on when accidents happen? It’s so unethical in rooming/boarding houses. I don’t want to look like a delinquent. How do I protect myself in this situation with no word being kept with a lease? Is there a….are the tenant/landlord laws still the same without a signed lease agreement; like giving my room key out to staff sexually interested or goung in my room when I am not there
Sexual harassment and sexual assault are illegal no matter where they take place. Call the police.

Here is a link to Pennsylvania’s Child Protective Services Laws. According to Section 3490.15 of the PA Code, children will only be taken into protective custody when:
(1) Medical indications of repeated abuse, the existence of previous indicated or founded reports of child abuse, the seriousness of the child’s condition, evidence of recent acts of abuse as opposed to old injuries, or statements of the child, or statements or actions by the parents indicating they are likely to be abusive toward the child.
(2) There is medical evidence that the child is a victim of alleged child abuse and that the child’s physical condition constitutes a medical emergency which requires immediate hospitalization to prevent death or serious physical impairment.
(3) The parents, guardians or other custodians, after being advised that the child’s physical condition constitutes a medical emergency will make no immediate arrangements for medically adequate alternative treatment.

I’m a volunteer at a drop in shelter, overnight during code blue in Reading Pa. where for years there was no problem with mail delivery to those with no home, now mailman stopped delivering. In attempt to remedy situation, inquiry was made to office, and supervisor said that inspector came in and said all delivery to shelter must stop and individuals must physically go yo post office to get mail. Sounds like discrimination and the trickle effect is nothing short of problematic. Benefits cut, hearing letters being missed. Please help.

Are you saying that mail with your shelter’s street address is not being delivered? I believe that this topic is covered in Section 1.5 of Chapter 508 regarding Recipient Services in the Domestic Mail Manual. http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/508.htm Here is the text of that section:
1.5
Delivery to Individual at Organization
1.5.1 To Address
All mail addressed to a governmental or nongovernmental organization or to an individual by name or title at the address of the organization is delivered to the organization, as is similarly addressed mail for former officials, employees, contractors, agents, etc. If disagreement arises where any such mail should be delivered, it must be delivered under the order of the organization’s president or equivalent official.
I also think that sections 1.1.1 and 1.4 of the Domestic Mail Manual cover the situation you have described:
1.1.1 Delivery to Addressee
Addressees may control delivery of their mail. Without a contrary order, the mail is delivered as addressed. Mail addressed to several persons may be delivered to any one of them.
1.4
Delivery to Addressee’s Agent
1.4.1 Basic Standard
Unless otherwise directed, an addressee’s mail may be delivered to an employee, to a competent member of the addressee’s family, or to any person authorized to represent the addressee. A person or several persons may designate another to receive their mail.
Reach out to the ACLU of Pennsylvania (unless you have lawyers on your board who are available). https://www.aclupa.org/abouttheaclu/officeschapters/ They will discuss the legal issues with the postal service. They will also demonstrate to the postal service that general delivery to a single remote post office is not a realistic means of getting mail to homeless people.
Hello,
A few years ago I was outed by my employer as to my status if being homeless to my managers; fellow employees; and a dining room full of customers. What I did was go to my neighborhood council meeting and gave a speech. The result was that the homeless Bill of Rights here in California was amended with a worker’s rights clause that protects a homeless employees right to privacy; and for the first time in the Bill’s history, the mayor of Los Angeles signed on in support of the Bill.
I’m just a common place guy that’s also homeless, and I pulled that off. Why don’t you go to your neighborhood council meeting and see what you can pull off.
Couldn’t hurt.
My son has stayed with his father for years now his father and girlfriend gave him 3days to move he didn’t ask for rent got a part but not sign editor by judge

If your renting out a room in a two bedroom from HRA and your roommate does’nt want to take showers and he smells bad like a homeless person leaves food on the kitchen counter and puts chinese plastic bowls with sauce (Salad dressing, bbq sauce)etc… in the cabinet without washing it bugs grew everywhere and told the HRA counselor he does nothing can you sue or how do you approach the problem
It is likely that your state and/or county health department regulations require the building owner and/or each tenant to maintain a level of cleanliness that does not invite infestations or breed disease in the building. Here is a portal to state health agencies. You might be able to find the health code on your own in your state health agency. If not, use their contact form to ask if they can direct you to the section of the health code that regulates cleanliness or landlord duties in apartments, rooming houses, and other multi-renter housing facilities. (Landlord duties is the common phrase even when the living arrangement is not exactly a traditional landlord-tenant lease situation.) Use Google or another search engine to find your county health department. Ask the county health department to come and inspect the property to see if your apartment is in compliance with the county regulations. If it is not, they will inform the management or owners that the place is not up to code and they will demand that the property be brought into compliance. If the health department will not come to inspect, then take photos and send a letter to the management. In the letter, you can quote or attach copies of the state and county regulations that you believe are being violated and you can ask that the management take the necessary steps to bring the place into compliance with the law.
Hi,
I am not sure if I am doing this correctly. I left my husband in another state due to Domestic Violence and many different abuses that I did not even remember until I left. My daughter and I r in a hotel in Colorado. I am working to find a job and have found an apt. If I qualify. I would not have landed homeless so easy but my next door neighbor was my landlord that stalked, terrified, bullied, threatened, took locks off my door, and stared at my balcony outside until I caught him each time. I left hell and came to hell. There is no low income housing here or regular apartments for that matter. No jobs. No shelters or transitional living. Colorado is in huge trouble. I have spoken to advocates about more supportive states. Sacramento CA, Oregon, Washington, Virginia, Rochester NY. A place in Vermont.
I looked for six months at our home in G.A. for shelters in so many states. I thing. THIS IS WHY WOMAN STAY. Sick. If avoidable do not come here. I am terrified. We have no one I will not stop long enough to have my 10 yr. Old sleep in our car. I did that enough with a 15 yr old mom kicking me out during high school because I was date rape baby. I cannot do that again. My daughter will never. I wish I could build mansions after mansions for all of us beautiful nurturing moms just wanting to love our babies and children. Exodus. 14:14 let our Heavenly Father fight our battles. We will do the footwork and he will open our doors.

Mr and my 78 year old mother is in dire need of a home we bought a mobile home in a 55 plus community and we started getting sick my mother is on oxygen and c pay machine come to find out it is full of mold I have spent thousands trying to get rid of it until I have exhausted all money we have can anyone help us
Depending on how long ago you bought the mobile home, you may be able to sue the sellers. If the place is not livable because of the mold and it was already moldy when they sold it to you, then they really didn’t sell you a home; they just sold you a moldy object that used to be a home. Your local legal aid office and your county senior services office can both help you with this situation. Use this Benefits Quick Link service from AARP to find those agencies. Begin with the senior housing resources. You need to get your mom into healthy housing before giving your attention to a lawsuit.

Couple of dear friends asked me if they can use my address for there banks and other private mail. Is this agaianst the law? With many thanks.

It is legal to use someone else’s street address for mail when you have permission to get mail at that place and you actually will go there and get your mail. It is not legal to use someone else’s street address for the purpose of committing fraud. Fraud is an intentional misrepresentation of material facts that is made with the intent to deceive someone. On a similar note, it is illegal to use someone else’s address for the purpose of evading the police or tax collectors. In some circumstances, using someone else’s street address is a breach of contract. This would happen, for example, when a contract specifies that the person making the agreement is providing the address of the place where he actually resides. It is very common for people to use the addresses of friends and family members for perfectly legitimate purposes.
I have to stay in my PA county to satisfy DUI house arrest for 3 months. I had to change jobs so I can be close to work and my salary is now only half of what I made before. I cannot pay my full rent and utilities. Any ideas?
Can a case manager at a homeless shelter take a cell phone out of a residents hand and start going through it without probable cause, isn’t this a violation of this person’s 4th amendment rights?
Please help.
Probable cause and other aspects of 4th Amendment searches apply to police who are searching for evidence of a crime. This does not mean that it was right or wrong for the shelter manager to go through your phone. Shelter policies may permit the manager to do this. Ask someone in the office if you can see the shelter’s policy manual and then look through it for a rule authorizing this kind of search. It is not unusual for a shelter to check through residents’ possessions and contacts (via phone) to see whether drugs are being stored, used, or traded in connection with their facility.

A social worker will help you. Find one through a private agency: Catholic Charities, Lutheran Family Services, Methodist Social Services, Jewish Family Services, etc… You can walk into any house of worship that is associated with a major denomination and ask the spiritual leader if he or she can help you find a social worker. Social work agencies make sure that religious congregations know about their services because they know spiritual leaders commonly hear about people’s troubles and need to refer them to community helpers.
Me and my husband are in a couples shelter in NYC. We went for help at intake, and after confirming our claims they found us eligible.My husband took a job upstate this weekend leaving today and coming back Sunday. He wasn’t allowed to sign the nightly paper dhs requires. We were told we will be logged out the system. He still left. I don’t know what will happen to me. When the log out happens (it will happen tomorrow) will I be able to go back to couples intake by myself to be placed for the night? If not what other options do I have.. if I’m already eligible in their system would I still have to go to a woman’s intake shelter? I really appreciate your help guiding me in this situation. I really just want to be in a better situation so that this doesn’t happen again. Can you please help pointing me in a good direction.. thank you.
Have you already talked with the facility manager and provided (or offered) written proof about the job hours? If you did that and the manager wouldn’t budge about the sign-in then you really need a local lawyer or possibly a local caseworker to set things up with the couples shelter. Obviously, the shelter wants people to get work and eventually be able to afford a place elsewhere. There has to be a way of working around the nightly sign-in when the job prevents the resident from being their to sign, but only a local system insider is likely to know how to make those arrangements.
I’m looking for someone who can help me get into a place I’m dieabitus an need a place so I can eat right an to call my own I’ve looked every where plus I got four herneyated disc pinched syattcas Spain lumbar arthritis an scared being homeless can u help me I get SSI but it’s just not enough I need a place to call my own before I die I’m 58 an I’ve lost a lot of weigh.
Use this link to find your local office of the American Diabetes Association. Call and tell them what’s going on and ask how they can help you connect with housing. Even though they primarily provide educational services, they will care about your situation and their contacts around the community can probably open some doors for you.
Hi yes I have a question, I stay in salvation army in Hempstead NY 194 front street, they told me that I have September 12 , 2016 to leave because it’s a 6 to 9 month program to complete. Ok I have been here over a year less then 2 yrs, but I didn’t complete it, still no job, they won’t even hire me and yet there kicking me out.
Can they just do that to people , even me Jameen Walker. Please help me can I due them for that? Yes I’m homeless
Yes, residential programs are legally permitted to have limits on their services, even when it means that a resident is being put out with no place else to go. Here is a good list of shelters that serve your town.
I really nd a home 4 me n me 4 girlz help me please
Exhausted. I’ll be homeless with three kids and my husband at 11am tomorrow in Houston. I’m about to the point of laying down in the grass and praying for a quick death. Shelters don’t take married families. If I was abused or single I’d be golden. I’m so tired I can’t articulate the feeling. Can’t even find anywhere to pitch a tent.
We left home for surgery February 2015 – our middle child has unknown neurological issues that left her non ambulatory. A very very long story short my husband and i narrowed things down took a chance and went to NM. She walks now and although her condition isn’t named we know she was born without all her nerves. It’s rare, maybe 5 kids have it in the world.
Went up to Colorado and just couldn’t find any jobs. We should of come home but wanted to see if we could get more answers on how to maintain her new ability to walk again. We literally starved to death for 6 months. Took 3 months to find a $10/hr job. We’re both professionals with careers so to say we’re astounded that 2 people that have been working for 25 years straight couldn’t scrape up a job. Came back home Sunday night and just can’t find any shelter. I’m tired and exhausted and my teeth are falling out, i need bifocals, stress is giving me bald spots and my hemorrhoids are burning a hole in my ass.
Salvation army is full. Family promise is closed right now. We tried Bay area homeless but they want to take 75% of your pay check and deposit into their account. I’m an accountant by profession there is no way that’s happening. I’d gladly share deposit receipts but I’m not giving anyone money earned to “save for me”. We’re not addicts or recovering alcoholics. I’ve never been a prostitute and neither of us have a criminal record so we don’t fit into any of the shelter programs. I’m not abused or fleeing a domestic situation, I mean what can I say? I actually like and love my husband.
So I’m on the hunt for a tent or small camper that maybe someone can donate. It’s not the best solution but our middle child is special needs both mental and physical. Moving where I keep clean laundry distresses her OCD and manic depression. I can only imagine if we got separated she’d be 100% mental.
Tired. Exhausted. Frustrated. Perplexed. Hopeless. A word I never thought to use.
Looking for a tent or small camper until we can become upright again. That’s it. Thank you.

Hello. I am disabled( taking case to federal court and having a hard time finding legal council. No one wants to go to fed court)
Im homeless. I have a 12 yr old son im unable to provide for.
I only get $197 food stamps.
Tennessee wont give me tenncare even tho i qualify.
I have no resources.
What can i do? Lay down and die? This is the only option i have. Im disabled. Unable to fight or stand for myself. I desperately need help. So does my son. God bless…

My husband and I are homeless at the moment going in-between friends homes. Trying to find a or rehab that will allow my 7lb chihuahua to be with me. I spent 6 days in jail and she almost died from grieving thinking i was gone forever. I’m located in Mississippi. Any suggestions?
Have you found a caseworker and resource leads through the Mississippi Department of Human Services yet?
A couple liveing in phoenix az, on the first of septenber someone ran into there house and they can not find someone to represent them. And the little money they had they used it on a hotel and soon they will have to get out and they are going to live in there car.
Does any one know of a lawyer that can help them out please. If any one can help you can e-mail me
Are you saying that a car crashed into the house? If the police filed a report on it, then they can apply to Arizona’s Victims Compensation Fund for money. They can also go to a personal injury lawyer to take legal action against the driver and the car insurance company to get money for the property damage as well as other effects of the crash. Personal injury lawyers advertise everywhere. This couple can speak with several lawyers before deciding which one to hire. Lawyers who handle these personal injury cases do not charge their clients; they get their payment out of the settlement or lawsuit. Have they called the Red Cross or the Salvation Army yet? Both of those agencies help people find housing after disasters. The Red Cross can often pay for the hotel room after a home is destroyed– depending on funds and circumstances.http://www.redcross.org/local/az-nm-el-paso/chapter-locations/phoenix — http://www.salvationarmyphoenix.org/

See if the Disability Law Center (which provides health law advocacy to people who cannot afford to hire private lawyers) can step in on this situation. Even if they are geographically too far away, they will probably connect you with a lawyer close by. I think they will be very interested in your situation.

My grandaughter 6yr old and I were sleaping in our car homeless and a friend allowed us to stay at his house he is going through a divorce and now he is being evicted and any and all other occupants, he does not speak english nor has he seen any of the papers the realtors seem to come when the owner is not here and wven though he is a freind he is hardly ever here comes late at night and leaves real early and seems to not know much of what is really going on . When ever the relator comes he is very rude comes yelling and insulting, this past Saturday I happened to open the door and he demanded for me to open the door “I answered no I dont even know who you are” he went on to saying “are you stupid? Dont you know how to read the papers that I posted you need to leave this property, I said to him that I had the permission of the owner of the house to stay here and of Mr Garvey, Probate Officer, he seemed a little shocked at that but then stated he was going to call CPS on me and I said to him oh here make sure you ask for Davina cause I already told them what is going on and I handed him her business card from Family Services. He then proceded to state he would be back with the police. We are still here at the house. I have been looking for a place but itis not easy to find a place under 500 and I interviewed at a shelter but there is no beds available? what can I do and why does he have the rigbt to insult me in front of my grandauhter and be k with it?

I am currently homeless in Florida after someone burned my house down. The red cross gave me $355 for a room for a few days and something to eat. I lost everything in this fire including my beloved fur babies. I am totally disabled due to many years of physical abuse by my ex which also resulted in the death of 2 of my children when I was very young. I live on very little income but there’s no way possible I can work with my severely injured back and brain damage. If anyone can point me to someone who can help I am truly in desperate need. I can’t even begin to put my life back together until I have a roof over my head
I am homeless in Las Vegas and there is a gas station that told me that I could not come in anymore because I was homeless. They have pictures of all the homeless people in the area behind the counter so that if any of these how many of us come in all of the staff knows that we are not allowed in there I’m pretty sure this is not legal but we are homeless and then when I confronted them they said to me Knowing damn well that I could not afford an attorney or very rarely even have the means to get to a phone can you help us
This is the kind of question that you bring to your local ACLU or your legal aid office. If they decide to sue this gas station, they will not charge you for representation. The question of whether homeless people can be excluded from a private business has a lot of “ifs” built into it– depending on the facts. One of the first things to think of, before you try suing them, is whether they have any legal way of enforcing their rule. Do they say that you are trespassing? The police can enforce a trespassing law. But trespassing laws prevent everybody except for authorized people from entering private property. To authorize everybody except for homeless people sounds discriminatory. But the homeless are not a group that Constitutional law protects from discrimination. So this dispute has pros and cons on both sides.

I travelled to Kuwait exactly four months now to work as a house maid knowing the country law allows maids a week day off, resting hours during the day and limitations of working hours but when I asked they said there’s no such thing in Kuwait but it’s all over the internet approved by the king and it’s government so I decided to terminate the contract and go home and they said I can only do that after a year service and I’m gonna have to pay for the visa fee plain fare and the one to whom. I really hate to like a slave and to go home without paying them nothing but I really don’t know what to do.

My brother is homeless and is living at a transitional housing shelter. The stories I am hearing about some of the staff makes my blood boil. First these are paid workers for the shelter. They talk down to people, they pick threw the donations before letting the homeless have anything. It’s just wrong.
If anyone voices their opinion. They makes life miserable for them and eventually they end up losing their bed. The other day and local Pizza shop donated 15 pizzas to the shelter.
The staff took the pizzas home. That’s just wrong. I want to go in there and give them a piece of my mind. I don’t want to jeopardize my brother bed.
I don’t know where to file a complaint.
Here are a few ideas for filing complaints against a bad shelter:
1. If it is organized as a 501(c)(3) organization, you can file a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service identifying the incidents when the staff members have stolen charitable donations rather than giving them to the intended needy clients. Here is IRS Form 13909 with exists for that purpose.
2. You can certainly notify your State Attorney General about misconduct in shelter operations. Every Attorney General’s office has an online complaint form. Here is a portal to state AG pages.
3. If the shelter is part of a larger organization, you might get some action if you write to the highest officer at that organization. Sadly, this most direct type of complaint might be the most likely to result in retaliation against your brother.
I am homeless and in Murfreesboro and cannot get into a shelter because of my criminal record. I have tried every shelter that there is and I am in a abusive relationship. No one will take me. What do I do?
There are towns called Murfeesboro in three states, that I know of. Here are portals to ex-offender resources in each of those places. Hopefully, once you get connected with either employment or housing, other things will settle into place for you. It is hard for many people to get that first toe hold for re-entry. Plan to reach out to every source in the list for your state. If a source cannot provide you with direct services, ask them where else to turn. One connection will lead to another.

In a homeless shelter if I am unable to sleep because of extremely mentally ill neighbor yelling and screaming and keeping me up all night and I have been harrassed by other tenets, do I have the right to not pay the rent they ask for? Even with no hot water in the kitchen and only hot water in the shower , etc. Am I by law required to pay the rent of 375/mo with 6 people using one shower, etc?
I know someone who does hair in Las Vegas they have paid for one of those suites. He recently became homeless and fell asleep at the suite. Can the landlord do anything, being that the suite is paid for? Does anyone know the laws for this? I can’t help because I am in a state far away and am struggling myself
The answers to your questions are contained in the agreement about this suite rental–whether it was a lease or some other type of business contract.
A friend who helped me while I was homeless does not want to return my things.
I have a better position now but really need my things, how can I get them back she says she wants money in return, while I was homeless I helped with cleaning house, taking care of kids and put food in the fridge.
Her life is a mess and that’s why I decided to leave her house but I need my things.
What can I do ?
Most local courts, typically small claims courts, have a process called something like a demand or claim for return of personal property. Here is a packet from New Jersey that you can use as an example. Nevada has a Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien and For Return of Personal Property. In Oregon they call the process an Action by Tenant to Recover Personal Property. Browse through pro se documents and forms available from legal aid offices in your state to see forms and guidance that apply in your court system.
Even though you may not have been a rent paying lease-bound tenant, this kind of process may apply to your situation. See also the law of conversion which is the prohibition against turning someone else’s assets into your own assets– the non-criminal version of stealing. Depending on your small claims court rules, you may be able to sue for conversion at the same time that you make a claim for return of personal property. It is perfectly legitimate to call or visit the clerk at that court and ask for information that you don’t see on the court’s website, but you should expect that the person who answers will be reluctant to say anything that might be construed as legal advice. Frame your questions as “where can I find this information?” to avoid giving the impression that you are asking for advice.
I might be on the wrong site, but I need help from.someone regarding my uncle. He s homeless ,almost blind and needs assistance in daily living. You see he had a heart attack and stroke several yearsago in which he laid there three days before being found. Can you give any organization s that help people with disabilities and in need of residence. Any info would be appreciated, thank you so much for your help ….. sincerely,. Gina Villwok
What city and state does he live in? I can find you leads once I know where he is.
I need help
Me too. I have asked twice for help on what my rights are and receive not one answer.
Your question was answered in July. Here is that post again:
According to the Texas Workforce Commission, Texas follows the doctrine of employment at will. This means that employers can change the terms of the job or fire an employee for any reason or for no reason. Here is how the TWC explains it http://www.twc.state.tx.us/news/efte/pay_and_policies_general.html. Texas employees do have legal rights, however: the right to be paid fair wages and the right to work without discrimination. Here is a page about employee rights in Texas. http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobseekers/employee-rights-laws Since you were fired, be sure to apply for unemployment benefits. http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobseekers/unemployment-benefits-services The unemployment office will help you identify new job opportunities. Here are their job search links. http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobseekers/job-search Also take a look at the federal Department of Labor’s Career Stop which has very good training videos, guidance about applying for jobs, and a job search tool. http://www.careeronestop.org/ Good luck!

Actually, I think you want to call 211 which is the United Way’s all purpose referral phone line. http://www.211.org/ Those 311 lines are typically for municipal government assistance. You call those when you have issues with the street cleaners or the public pool or other city services.

Find a children hospital and tell them you need a social worker . Talk to them you should be able to get emergency help for all of you . Through social service or some group.

northern there is not adaquate legal representation for homeless or those about to lose their homes if nonprofit available most the time a conflict will be found from need of representation previously leaving them with none and since attorneys are not bound to legally to perform pro bono there is none to be found creating a bigger risk of being homeless and remaining that way with the tech industry booming in northern Calif forcing people to leave their places of residence and relocate in less desirable most times unsafe cities and neighborhoods legal representation and affordability i’s the greatest need in ending homelessness it is overlooked as seen as one of the major problems and designed to create and keep them that way till end up incarcerated or die a form of unequal right we are promised in our Constitution will be provided for us for any reason you may lose your place to live many city ordinances do not allow you to sleep in a vehicle or motorhome even though may be the only possible home can obtain most donor chose to be homeless as some believe it’s a system failure that needs to be fixed and public and state officials address educate and become aware of as one of the major needs in our entire country I am still living the repercussions of living in a vehicle at 64 permanatley disabled with a dog and caregiver from failure to receive any legal representation on an unlawful detainer illeagal eviction and no response from landlord in my right to request a reasonable accommodation that he did not respond to this left us with a wrongful eviction as well as leaving no chance at ever renting again no recourse and no defense available
Is it lawdull to throw a person out of a homeless shelter with no probable cause
It just depends on the shelter policies and the facts of the situation. Due process is another legal concept to have in mind when you have been treated unfairly, but privately operated shelters (as opposed to government run shelters) do not necessarily owe residents due process before terminating their residency. Consider writing a letter to the organization that operates the shelter or to the editor of your local newspaper. In that letter, call for shelter residents to have a certain amount of notice and an opportunity to explain themselves before the shelter makes a final decision about kicking them out.
Since motel shelters are permanetly closing down will sec 8 vouchers be handed out? also if people take homebase will the names on the sec 8 list be taken off? this question is for both public list and priority thanks
If you have a local or state law requiring that the motel shelters cease operations, then the same law probably sets forth a plan for relocating residents from those places. Contact your governor’s office or mayor’s office for that information. In the alternative, you might reach out to the nearest homeless advocacy agency to ask if your city or state has arranged relocation plans for people who have been living in these motels. The National Coalition for the Homeless has a good directory of state and local homeless advocates.
I am 19 and just got kicked out I have way too much to carry so the dude that kicked me out of his house drive me to Walmart so I can use one of there carts an employee saw me putting stuff in my cart and says to me I can get arrested if I take it off of Walmart property can they really arrest me for this I have seen people all the time take Walmart carts I just don’t want to get arrested

Me and my FAMILY NEEDS HELP!!!
I have been on section 8 choice housing voucher for 30years. I have had no eviction and I am a great tenant.
My problem is relocating back to Quincy from Florida. In May 2016 I moved out of my apartment and started the relocation process with Quincy housing authority to have my voucher transfer to Florida. I stayed with my daughter until everything was ready for my move. I moved, with my husband & daughter to Florida in July and we stayed with a friend, 2months later, we decided that it was not going to work out there and I had called Flagler County housing authority to transfer the voucher back to Quincy housing authority. That was done 8-2016. We all took a bus back to Quincy ma September 6.2016 knowing that we had no place to live. I have a special needs daughter and my husband and I are totally disabled (I am 50 yo and my husband is 48yo)
We arrived in Boston mass at 3am stayed in bus terminal till 9a we went to Quincy housing knowing that we may not be I didn’t have an appointment. I spoke with my housing workers and she couldn’t fit us in that day. I was hoping to get signature done for the pp work stared and atleast start the process for my voucher. I was surprised that the housing being absolutely rude to me. She said I didn’t know that you were coming back. I did speak to her while in Florida and my voucher was sent back in August. I have no idea what her problem was. I was told to come back that Friday. I explained to her we have no place to go, I was hoping for advice I have never been in this situation and I thought we had a good relationship I have never been a problem. She was very rude and Friday came and she didn’t put our appointment in the book. She sent another worker out to inform us my voucher was not there and my was too busy for see us to make another appointment. I left and called Flagler County housing Florida and she said that the voucher was sent to Quincy housing authority in August. 15 minute later I received a call from Florida housing saying she just got off the phone with Quincy housing and my voucher is there. I had to make an appointment with my worker. Great Right??? Not really.I am now sleeping in a tent it is October and I don’t know what to do . I have been calling my worker 2x’s a day with no response from her. Quincy housing is not communicating with me I had to send my daughter to RI at a friend’s house so she was safe and not sleeping outside. I am responsible and pay my bills, rent is paid no drugs and I am going crazy. Once in a while I get her on the phone. I had to sign Cori and since then I have not heard from my housing worker. All we did was relocate back from Florida no lease was signed there and no arrests. I NEED help.
I NEED help. I have relocated my section 8voucher to Florida it didn’t work out. I have had Florida send it back to Quincy housing authority. I have been on this program for 30 years. No eviction and always pd rent. I have a special needs daughter and myself and my husband are disabled. We came back in September knowing that I have no place to go. The day after we went to the housing authority in hopes that we could get the process going. My worker said no appointment. Come back Friday. We explained that we have no place to go in hopes she could advise us. I
She shrugged us off. WE slept out side. I am 50 yo and beside myself. Friday we went to the appointment with housing. She sent another worker out and she said that Florida didn’t send it up. I called them and they sent it in August. It is October and I am sleeping outside in a tent. I call twice a day and leave message to my workers. NO callback. She called me to come in to sign for Cori and I asked her how long, not long. you I just relocated back due to health reasons. I have been homeless for 2 months and the housing authority workers are not communicating with me. If there is a problem let me know so I can fix it. I don’t know what to do. I have call logs, nothing changed since I left to Florida. I SO confused with howthey can DO this to people.

You have a homeless outreach program in Anaheim. Have you contacted them? Both of the Calvary Chapel churches in Anaheim provide hot meals. The Anaheim Poverty Task Force maintains a whole schedule of meal availability. There seems to be food every day at La Palma Park. The police can give you bus tickets to get there if you are too far away to walk.
I am Desperately trying to find out if it is Legal for a current husband to deliberately leave his wife Homeless (in the state of Florida) due to his narscist, controlling, mentally abusing behavior. He has already been Arrested due to his physical abuse on Myself, my daughter (Not his child-step child Only), and her friend (that was a visitor at the time)? I would appreciate a Prompt Answer as my husband just stole our money order receipts, as he is deliberately causing an eviction to deliberately leave me homeless, and is yelling an inch away from my face, all while he instructs his 9yr old daughter to call me filthy, vulgar names while he’s intimidating me by “putting me in My Place”. Also If he leaves with the money order receipts, will that help him be able to leave me homeless. He claims it will, he has All Rights, days I have None and has prevented me from even eating at times. He has slept with the only drink we had in our home, to prevent me from having Anything to drink during the night, then Left with it the next morning, as he IS Aware that I get severely dehydrated and can end up in the hospital from the dehydration. Not including having to go to the hospital in the past due to his extreme verbal, mental, and at times physical abuse. Can He LEGALLY leave me homeless, as we are Not legally separated. He continuously Tell’s Me He Can Do Whatever He Wants and I can Not do a thing about it. How much truth is there to This?? Please Answer ME ASAP. Thank You
I think you need to read about the topic of marital assets. Here is a good explanation of marital assets that I found on Findlaw. Generally, when two people are both named as owners of an account or a home they are both owners of it and have the right to use it. The Findlaw page explains this more thoroughly. Money orders are not as secure as bank accounts and, as you see, if one person takes physical control of them then the other person does not have access to them and has no way of benefiting from them.
If you cannot get up at night and get a drink of water from the sink and you are abused and intimidated and he has already been arrested for abuse and you have been hospitalized for abuse, you probably know already how to contact domestic violence services, but here is the website for the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence in case you are ready to get their help now.

My Boyfriend is a Convicted Felon. He will be off Parole in about 6 months. I had no criminal history until recently I was accused of something I didn’the do. Originally they said it was a Felony, now it’s a Misdimeanor and my Lawyer expect it will be dismissed completely. I had to move out of our Apartment so that my Boyfriend would not be in trouble for associating with me. Is this legal?
Probation rules are different in every state and are set in each case according to the offense. An individual’s probation rules can be changed if the reason for one of them turns out to be a mistake. You can at least find your state’s standard rules by typing the state name and the phrase “probation rules” into a search engine. Ask your lawyer for copies of documents from your case so that you can explain the situation to your boyfriend’s probation officer and request a rule change.

Please somebody help us ! I am in Atlanta GA.homeless with a 16 year old son.He is too old for a shelter we wouldn’t qualify for due to my work schedule.They have curfews and do not understand that my schedule fluctuates.I only make 10.00 dollars an hour .Being unstable is expensive.I have a truck that eats gas,storage,insurance,and go to a hotel about 2 times a week.I am broke every payday.I have just gone through an grueling intake process expecting housing with Odessey Villas to be told that I have now qualified for their waiting list.I was told 2 weeks ago that we would receive the next available unit,today I was told that it would go to couples. My son is depressed and angry,running away and leaving school after I drop him off or just not going after I give him bus fare.No! We do not have family or friends to stay with.No! I am not a junkie.I keep getting the same stupid questions.I do have pitiful credit but have been at my job for a year! We tried staying with other people and they were very abusive. Can anyone out there say something POSITIVE to me? And No! I can’t afford a 237.00 a week for a nasty drug infested efficiency.Yes ! I have called ALL the family shelters !! They are full and have waiting lists.
Can you find out if it’s legal after my landlords buildings were taken by the city of Oswego in new York if they have the right to tell you that you have to be out. THE reason the 9 properties were taken is due to a 90 thousand dollars in debt on taxes and no rental permit and not up to code
If the building is not up to code, the city can condemn it– according to the Oswego City Code. If the building inspectors and/or health department have concluded that it has to be condemned, then it is not safe for people to live there. And if the government (city, state, or federal) is owed a lot of money in taxes, the sheriff can take control of the property and sell it to pay off those tax debts. Here is something else to keep in mind: The lease was between you and the landlord. If you are right that the city has control of the building, then the landlord does not have control of the building. Just because the city took control of the building does not mean that the city is willing to become the landlord and rent those apartments. Maybe it wants to renovate the building to make it safe or else sell it to compensate for the unpaid taxes. The city might just want to tear it down and use the land for something else. Maybe you are thinking about the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment declaration that “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” Usually, this means that the government can’t take away property that you own without going through due process. Maybe they did go through due process. Telling you that you have a certain amount of time in which to remove your stuff from the building can be one form of due process because it enables you to decide what happens with your possessions. If they just locked your things inside without any warning that they now had control of the place and they suddenly told you that you had no chance to take out the contents of your apartment, you would have a chance of proving that the government deprived you of your property without due process. Still, just to be thorough, you might contact your ACLU office to ask if this sounds like an unconstitutional taking.
If they did decide to condemn it and yet renovate so they can make money that seems horribly unfair. It could be brought to code while she is living there in that case, possibly. I realize her agreement was with the landlord, but to be tossed on the street without notice doesn’t seem right. The city steps and takes responsibility for the place they should be responsible to the tenant. Not saying “should” equals legally obligated. But if it could be fixed it is unfair to the tenant who would be otherwise entitled to having repairs done by the landlord to make the place habitable.
This kind of thing sticks in my craw because I live in an area where many dozens of buildings have simultaneously been marked for destruction and I suspect some of it is not on the up and up. Buildings with asbestos that are rammed down without prep work and piles of rubble left for weeks. I assume that is legal as well, but not sure it should be. The cost to tear all these down has to be enormous given the man hours and equipment it takes. To do all this at once seems really odd. But I don’t know. I’m skeptical of the whole thing so this is just a rant now. It’s a treacherous city (state capital no less) that charges people to park to go to social services to get help and the workers there get away with lying to, refusing to explain paperwork, asking for signatures from friends or neighbors over and over again, and denying eligible people. And if approved often not delivering on the benefits. I could go on and on. It is probably hard for those who have not been through it or had someone close go through it to believe. But it is true. And the way they treat the poor, including people with serious health issues is horrible…
The whole cycle is horrible. Most landlords will no longer deal with social services because they know how difficult it can be on their end. Then you have landlords get away with not fixing things. Had issues with slumlords and am in that situation myself. When people can’t afford to move they have to deal with these kinds of people or get thrown out for trying to exercise their rights. Less and less sympathy for people nowadays as you can see from all the problems reported on your site. Many get refused for the help that is falsely believed to easy. State doctors ignore documented serious medical conditions and it is all a vicious cycle that leads to homelessness. And it doesn’t change because there is no accountability. Add in a bad economy where employers can choose from a large pool of healthy young people and this is what you get. Look at what they’ve done to our Veterans. If they do it to them you can imagine how many more horror stories of poor people there are out there who have no advocates. So many have no idea this is happening.
I agree with you; it is a rotten way to treat people. I was not excusing it in my comment. Thank you for writing such a strong advocacy statement. I hope that tenants will emulate it in letters to their city council representatives and the mayor as they demand better treatment.

Do i have to check in with parole on my own once a month if iam homeless and theirs no changes…
Only your parole officer or the parole agency can answer this question.
How do I keep homeless people out of the outdoor shopping center I work at. The homeless burn dumpsters, break windows, crap on the sidewalk, sleep in store doorways. They steal out of the liquor store, ask customers for money. They yell obscenitys and threaten you when you ask them to leave. I call the police and the bum leaves before the police come and they come rightalk back when the police leave. Many of the bums I deal with are method heads gone mentally ill. How do I get rid of these cockroaches ?

February 23,2016 Chase Bank stole my home of 51years by fraud foreclosure. Ex Sheriff Leroy Baca intialed and stamped his name on the eviction notice.The whole traumatizing experience spanned ten years involving WAMU,JP Morgan Chase,adjustable rate&interest only securitized loan..I became a homeless statistic when sheriffs pulled up ,no court date or registered mail ever came to me.. Sheriff Baca was in all the papers a year prior due to illegal activities and was fired…he is in trial now. I can’t see the eviction notice being s legal document.IIs it?I am a daughter of the American Revolution,my cousins were Emily&Charlotte Bronte,we married into President Monroe’s family and came over on one of the boats of the May Flower…My heritage and ancestors raised this country not to have the 5 top banks bambouzel my fellow Americans to steal my Home and Retirement!! Worse,they are given a slap on the hand as they continue more illegal handling of monies not theirs.People of LA county alone now have 44,000 homeless approx.and maybe 2,500.beds to shelter them.Confiscating the homeless persons tent when no housing is available makes NO sense.It is not what our ancestors gave their lives for.I live in a tent by the 710 freeway.I had two dogs,three cats and a boyfriend. My kirtied
Melanie Marrah,
Cont’d: My kitty died,one kitty is missing and my poodle went to look for the kitty and is missing also.I kept them in and on leashes but still it happened.I have my baby girl germ. Shep.thank God.What Chase,HUD,Obama’s false promise to help but instead just gave the banks more money,and all those involved in this huge illegal and devastating tragedy…all I can say that the pain I’ve gone through in such tremendous loss and grief is bundled up and felt by all those that aided in the deaths and loss of my baby furballs,my home of 51 years ,what I’m going through and those around me are put through,if karma is due process than I will step away and know justice in Gods way than so shall it be.I do not wish harm on anyone but I think..How can you do this?How do you sleep at night knowing you caused all this pain? My Grandma would say for now..enough said.

Im stuck a thousand miles from my family and friends, homeless in Pittsburgh. It’s too cold to hop trains right now. Any type of help to get me ten or fifteen degrees warmer at night would be the work of the universe. Just get me a third of the way!!! All the live in the world!
I am homeless for now 2 years I live were i can put me head down I am disables and I am sick what in it in one month I have trouble get all the money because were every I am at I paid for that night. I have buy food for me to eat and all of my pills I have to take because what I have I am in and out of hospital I just need a places to said it is my home. Thank you Mary Henderson
Its very sad to see all of this, but a lot of it boils down to our economics in the United States. Just know, that most of us working folk are steps away from homelessness. All it takes I a bit of crime, fraud, forced loses, medical problems etc….Our society was not built to really help anyone who is not homeless to “not” become homeless. Instead of building a new store build facilities for the homeless.

There is a system for replacing your ID cards. It begins with a meeting at the Social Security Administration where you answer questions about yourself. If you need a ride and help arranging that appointment at Social Security and a temporary place to stay, get in touch with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. The phone number is (213) 225-6581. Also, try the Beyond Shelter Resource Center. 5101 S. Broadway, 1st. floor Los Angeles 90037 (213) 252-0772 or (323) 232-9000.
I’m am street homeless now, b,c I was simply during go take a shower at my aunt’s got pulled over and thy took my car stating I can get it back wen I get my tags and I’ll only ahlf to pay towing fee of 250 I did everything that was asked, went to get my car and they said I owe $500+ witch I didn’t have because I just spent it on the tag and insurance and had enough to get the car they denied me and I’m in the cold and sleep by the lot so I can make sure my stuff isn’t being touched
The impound lot does have a right to be paid, but it certainly could be decent and waive the fee this one time. How would you feel about contacting one of your local news stations about this situation? If they report on your situation, the lot might let you have your car back for free or the members of the public who see the story might contribute to get you your car back. Here is another idea: Reach out to your county office of human services and ask if they can help you with emergency funding to get off of the street and back in your car. Here is the list of regional HHS offices. If you can’t get through to anyone that way, contact your nearest HUD Continuum of Care agency and see if they can help you get your car back.

What about the legal issues that come into play in divorce proceedings where 2 of the parties had homes of their own prior the marriage and once I was removed from the only home left which was his I was left homeless. I was lied to by him was told that we didn’t need to homes and I would always have a home there and that was not the case. My attorney took advice from his attorney stating it was already under foreclosure. I had stopped making the payments I believed and trusted this man. During the divorce my attorney did nothing to insure I would have a place of my own to stay. I have slept in a park I bounce from place to place homeless worrying who is going to kick me out now. I have sent my ex pics of my living arrangements he doesn’t care he has his own home still. In short our divorce courts are leaving a lot of people homeless
I’m homeless have had crit need a place in hurry

Hi my name is khalif gray I am a father of three ages 5,3 and 1 years old. And my kids mother. We are seeking as much help as possible. We was living with the kids mother sister. And she felt as thought we wasn’t looking for a house fast enough after being at her house for five months so she started fights with us bashed us on social media and on the final day she had filed a false PFA against me n my girlfriend. Which was granted due to false accusations. We had two hours to get as much of our things out of the house. We grabbed our thing and with the savings I had to go towards a house for us I had to use for the days inn on Baltimore pike. After being here a month we are out of options and will be forced out the hotel by noon 11/15/2016. I’m looking for a place we will be able to stay during the day and night. While we try to maintain a stable savings to be able to afford a place of our own. I can be reached 610-931-0043. Although I may have to but I may have to put my family into a shelter and I go homeless. Worst feeling a man can have. Someleef@gmail.com Thank you in advance.

My name is Erica I have 3 beautiful kids age 14 13 and 10. I was currently in a long time relationship with someone who was very abusive mentally as well as physically. I finally got the courage to leave and start new with just the clothes on my back and my children. We have been staying in hotels off of the money I had been storing away for 2 years. I am down to nothing and last night was the first night my kids and I slept in my truck well I waited for them to fall asleep while I drove around once they where all down I parked in a dark parking lot I stepped outside of the car and I cried like a baby. I have no idea what to do or where to go I have no family support. I have been calling shelters every morning and every morning they are full. I need to stay strong and keep a smile on my face because I do not want my kids to feel wat I am feeling or no that mommy is having a hard time proving the basic essentials. Please someone anyone help my family and I. I am praying for you to come into our lives and not give me anything but at the least point me in the right direction because I’m stuck in a continuous circle.w e live in Tacoma WA . My email address is Ms.ericalewis@gmail com. Thank u

I’m 63 and disabled mentally do to tmi’s and fragments from a DVT and a PE. I Have neuropathy from my neck down.Can I carry a cain sword legally in Tennessee?
According to Section 39-17-1302(a)(8) of the Tennessee Code, it is an offense to “knowingly possess” an “implement for infliction of serious bodily injury or death that has no common lawful purpose.” Does a cane sword have a common lawful purpose? That is a question for the courts in Tennessee.
Is it illegal for a shelter to hire people with no certification or degree to give out narcotics or psych meds
The regulations about dispensing medication are coordinated in each state by a government body called a “board of pharmacy.” You can link to State Boards of Pharmacy through the website of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. These regulations generally say that only licensed pharmacists (and hospital nurses and in some cases doctors– such as when doctors have samples available) are permitted to dispense medication to patients. Once the pharmacist has given the medicine to the patient, that medicine is under the patient’s control. When people move into homeless shelters, they are typically only allowed to stay there if they give up control of their medicine. This is meant to keep residents from taking the wrong quantities of their own meds or from taking other people’s meds. Of course, it puts residents at the mercy of staff who, as you point out, have no knowledge of medicine. They may also be sloppy or hostile or otherwise irresponsible about giving residents their medication. Probably, the most useful legal claim for these situations is negligence. When a shelter takes away a resident’s medicine, it assumes the duty of giving the resident the right amount of medicine at the prescribed times. If they breach that duty and it causes harm (for example a worsening of psychiatric symptoms), the resident (or else a group of residents at that facility) can file a negligence lawsuit. Negligence cases are handled by personal injury lawyers who get paid out of the settlement or lawsuit winnings; they do not charge clients out of pocket.
I need help. Today my daughter was riding her bike as she does alot, and the desk clerk comes up and says you have to check out, when I asked why, she looked at my daughter and I said why cause she’s riding her bike? She said the owner said he wants me to leave. So I went to the office and he would not even come out of the office, so I said ok I’m calling my Attorney, and I said you are trying to steal my money, because I pay for the week, so I called my Attorney and she says she can ride her bike in the parking lot!!! How safe is that? This man has harassed me on several occasions asking me how much I make and another occasion asking me where I work, having his staff keep saying were going to raise your rate. I am sick with two chronic illnesses and going thru physical therapy this is a bad stressor for me!

In March 2016 I made the choice of moving out and becoming homeless. My boyfriend was living on the streets for about six months before I MOVED out there with him. Then in. June 2016 he was arrested and remained in jail. There I was all by myself! I just recently moved in with a friend temporarily about three weeks ago. But during the time I was out on the bike path I learned ALOT ABOUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY LABELS AS HOMELESS! FOR ONE: THEY ARE NOT HOMELESS!JUST BECAUSE THEIR HOUSES ARENT MADE OF BRICK AND WOOD OR THEY DONT DONT HAVE PIPES FOR RUNNING WATER OR THEIR WALLS DONT HAVING WIRING TO A SWITCH! BELIEVE WHO ARE YOU AS THE COMMUNITY TO JUDGE THEIR HOMES OF CLOTH PROPANE FOR HEAT BATTERIES FOR LIGHTS. TARPS AS THEIR COVERED STORAGE AND HELPS KEEP THE WARMTH AND DRY. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED OF HOW EACH HAS THEIR OWN TECHQUINIC ON HOW THEY STEP UP THEIR TEMPORARY HOUSING AREAS. THEY ARE A COMMUNITY WITHIN THEMSELVES. THEY ALL COUNT ON EACH OTHER IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. FOR WHAT ONE DOESNT KNOW THE OTHER WILL TEACH THEM. AS FAR AS MATERIALISTIC THEY REALLY HAVE NOTHING BECAUSE THE CITY COMES AND TAKES FROM THEM WHEN THEY DUE THOSE DAMN SWEEPS AS THE MAYOR CALLS THEM. I MYSELF EXPERIENCED ONE OF THEIR SWEEPS AND NOT ONE THING THAT THE MAYOR SAID HE WAS GOING TO FOR THEM HE DID EXCEPT THE SWEEP AND MY STUFF DUD NOT GO TO STORAGE AS THEY SAID IT WENT DIRECTLY IN TO A DUMPSTER THAT WAS BROUGHT RIGHT OUT TO THE LOCATION. In all factual reality is THOSE PEOPLE ARE. OUT THERE BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT REASONS! SOME BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY SOME DUE TO FIXED INCOME SOME BECAUSE OF LACK OF EDUCATION AND SOME HAVE BEEN OUT THERE FOR SO LONG THATS ALL THEY KNOW. AND SOME BECAUSE THAYS THEIR WAY THEY PREFER TO LIVE. AND SOME YES HAVE ADDICTIONS. BUT OUT OF IT ALL I HAVE TO SAY THOSE PEOPLE ARE THE MOST KIND HELPFUL LOVING GIVING WILLING TO WELCOME ANYONE IN TO THEIR HOMES. BELIEVE I HAVE WITNESSED ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS LAST SUMMER PARENTS FRANTICALLY LOOKING FOR THEIR RUNAWAY KIDS OUT ON THE STREETS THE FIRST PLACE THEY CAME AND THESE PEOPLE DID NOT HESITATE A SECOND BEFORE THEY WERE HITTING THE PAVEMENT TO MAKE SURE THOSE. KIDS MADE IT BACK HOME SAFELY. I MYSELF THINK THAT YOU AS THE COMMUNITY SHOULD STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES! TAKE SOME TIME AND MEET THESE PEOPLE. THEIR NOT ASKING FOR. A HAND OUT BUT A HAND UP. SUPPORT THEIR CAUSE! HELP THEM FIGHT FOR A SPOT PERMENTALLY TO RESIDE.I ALMOST CAN BET MONEY ON IT THAT IF THEY HAD THAT THERE WOULD BE LESS GARBAGE AND ALMOST A GUARINTEE THAT THERE WOULD BE MORE WORKING JOBS BECAUSE THEN THEY WOULDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING SWEPT WILL THEY WERE AT WORK. SO THOSE OF YOU WHO READ THIS PLEASE HELP ME HELP THEM SUPPORT THEIR CAUSE. I AM WANTING TO SUE THE MAYOR MULTNOMAH COUNTY SHERIFF AND THE PARK RANGERS FOR IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF MY PERSONAL PROPERTY AND I HAVE IT ALL ON VIDEO. IM NOT ASKING FOR ANTHING FOR MYSELF WHAT I AM ADKUNG FOR US A PIECE OF LAND WERE THEY CAN RESIDE PERMINATLY.
THANK YOU TO ALL THAT TOIK THE TIME TO READ THIS.

Hi, My fiancee and I are currently homeless in the Tucson Arizona area, long story short our home caught on fire back at our home town, we decided to relocate and take a chance in Florida with only so much cash on us. We lost mostly everything, currently we were in that tornado storm in Florida of the Golf Breeze Coast and Pensacola area while camping out till we found shelter there, end up losing more, by God’s Grace we barley made it out and traveled to Tucson Arizona. With the money we had left and hope, we are reaching out for help asap, we are both open and honest clean people…We are asking for only 2weeks to a month for shelter as we continue to look for work in this area. Also we have been to shelters, but we do not want to be apart from one another, everything is new to us, and we are already out here alone. If anyone can HELP us, Please Reply thank you God Bless.
Think about this
Do you know what it’s like to have everything you ever dreamed of and under the surface you really have nothing.
Welcome to my world within the last 15 years and 6 months I’ve lost everything at first I thought it was preparation for something great they claim that the most high God whatever it is gives you trials and tribulation to make you stronger.
The time when the light shined the bright on me i would pray the same as when I was in the dark once again I thought it was preparation for something great.
With a ill turn of adversities With Disaster turning into destruction an evil entity something Supernatural maybe even extraterrestrial has manifested in my soul and has made me Hollow cold it seems to control money it won’t let me have anything no success. The caster of this shall be sought out.
Last night I slept in the bed of a stranger’s truck in 20 degree below weather with ice rain but I’m still alive I should be thankful but to whom I look up in the sky and I asked why why how did this happen such a good Soul a good person someone who wants positivity over negativity why my soul why turn me into a jhant or something evil this is what this does. And not what I want and definitely not what I need
My thoughts of recovery are extremely dark but with people counting on me not all family but certain individuals counting on me I’m not quite ready to leave this place not that I take it for granite but the pain the pain it’s unbearable to be a fully functioning individual and not being able to provide to contribute not even able to do the most and a day you see death in your face and of course around the corner. Being a smart individual using mathematics to decipher I know my mind-state I stand corrected this is an ill fate
My advice donnot have any expectations everything is a letdown it’s not negativity it’s not the thought process sometimes bad things happen to good people and that’s the way it is the biggest question I want you to think about is this.
What is worse to have everything and lose it all or to try everything in your physical power with every positive bone in your body being optimistic never given up but you failing you just keep failing you can’t keep any money all your successes is just stripped from you no matter what nothing is yours everything is not what it seems.
Is it a demon extraterrestrial is it a curse is it the earth and its position astrology we’ll never know I said yes find something you love and hold on to it
I am still as lost as ever. I’m ready to die. I want them to leave me alone. They win I don’t care anymore. They are heartless bitches eating at the very essence I am because they are ugly bitter and unforgiving. They keep repeating the same shit till I do what they want. Which for me means dieing. I’ve done my research. You are an old bitter hag. You think I did this to you you did it to yourself. You are taking something personal and trying to make it business and I’ll let you cause it serves my purpose. I’ll see you in hell bitch.
Your not the lost soul and the story is not a joke it real find your own Lane you cannot write like me you suck copy cats know this is a no fly zone find inspiration for jokes somewhere else. This was real life not a fairytale
Every person is a soul. You are not the only lost soul. How selfish of you to think that. And how dare you call my truth a fairytale. I posted what I am going through. I have a plan and I will go through with it, I’m tired of people trying to stop me or pray the devil out of me or say they are making me want to do it. This was laid out for me long before you where here. And I know the original poster. Have yourself a good day.
Ok
Think of this: Are you sure your lonely
People buy 1million dollar vehicles with nowhere to go. People buy 2 million dollar camper with no where to go.People Charting jets 50,000 a month with no where to go. People Buying Jets and jet fuel and you have nowhere to go. This is the icing on the cake watching a few millionaires turn possible billionaires take out 55 million dollar yachts this past Christmas some with helicopter pads some without with nowhere to go.My point is you have to find something to love and money is not it. Take it day by day no expectation whatever breezes in the Wind good or bad. Think of this what are you crying in the cardboard box or crying in a Bentley.You are still crying that is the point.
Think about
I’m certain it’s not loneliness. I am in heaven when in my solidarity. I won’t deny it is nice to share life on occasion. Fell the warmth of tenderness. I would have to admit living a solitary life lacks a feeling of home. Safety without constant standing watch. But I am one who needs to be in control of my alone time. Narsasistic, I guess, just selfish perhaps. I would prefer to say selfish by experience not nature. I get lost when sharing my life. I would rather make someone else happy then myself. Then in the process starve my need to be alone. I am hanging unto this time of being alone if only for a time to heal. Time doesn’t stop. But sometimes we do need to. Mental and spiritual healing is something nit ever considered. You wouldn’t ask a man in a body cast to go to work while he heals. Then there are some that are just to broken. Left with no purpose and no where to turn. This is me. So why take up space that someone else can do good with. So lonely no. Just tired.
In the case of money
Not something I hold to dear. I do have something I love and they want me to leave. So you can’t hold onto something or someone that doesn’t want to be held. I agree no matter where you are money is not the answer.
im loving in a homeless shelter i have a cat and they are making me get rid of it

Hello my name is Angel-lena and my family and I were exectuded from our home about a week and a half ago the living situations were terrible so i refused to pay a slumlored until he fixed things,well that backfired and here i am with my husband and five children during the holidays, living in a hotel room that we pay for weekly which is very expensive! we recently found a home and can move into it this weekend but my husbands entire check for the next few weeks will be paying for us to move in. I am so depressed about the fact that i wont be able to provide a christmas for our children they are going through so much and are so deserving of a nice holiday. I am very greatful for being able to have a roof over our heads and i know that is the most important thing at the moment but it breaks my heart to know that my children will be going without any holiday cheer or how i am even going to explain why santa couldnt/didnt bring them gifts they asked for because theyve been so good for me giving the situation. ive tried local agencies and reaching out to my community for help and have had no luck, i just want to be able to give them one thing a piece they asked santa for :( if anyone can help with anything even suggestions of something i havent tried i believe ive tried everything i possibly could it would be much apprieciated.

I currentlyam stayih in a seige suiteivebeen here for 2.5 years and for the first time Iaskrdour maintenance man ifwe could get another mattress… He brought us up oneand it looked older but had no stains needlss to say today I woke up covered in bites I’m pretty sure they are bedbugs. I am worried ifi go to office they will kick me out like they do every other person who has thrm. What can I do?
Contact the health department. It is never acceptable to infest people with bedbugs. Here is a nationwide map to help you locate contact information for your health department. If the health department does find that the mattress is infested, get in touch with a personal injury law firm or with your legal aid office and tell them your story. Show them a copy of the health department’s report to you. Maybe they will file a lawsuit on your behalf.

I was kicked out a shelter because, they attempted to wakes me and my 3 girls up during a fire drill 3 times and were unsuccessful . As they walked back towards my room me and my three girls were walking out of our room and exit the back door. They called names to make sure everyone were present which I was, then everyone proceeded back into the buliding. 2 days later they called me into their office and mentioned their time failed getting everyone out then last time because of my slow pace! And asked me to make other accommodations and made me and my 3 girls leave . Is this eveb legal
Shelters can kick people out based on their own policies. It is also possible that the fire code requires them to be able to evacuate the building in a certain amount of time. If they can’t evacuate the building in time and they are in violation of the fire code, or at risk of violating it, they could be forced to close their shelter. If that’s the case, you can see why they would rather give up on housing a few slow people instead of not being able to house anybody.
My fiancée has lived on a property for 30 years in NJ owned by her family members(grandfather). Due to a estate dispute over the actual ownership of the property we are being asked to leave by a family member (uncle) . We have permission to live on the property from her grandfather who has a “lifetime deed” to the property. When he dies the uncle gets the property. Grandfather is still alive but the other family members wants us out of the house so their children (fiancée cousins) could live there. There has been no tenant agreement or anything over the 30 years she has lived here. Just written permission from grandfather we have stating we can live there. I’m confused on what to do I’m on unemployment and made under 20k last year and my fiancée is disabled with a 8 yr old girl . Any advice we would greatly appreciate it
My boyfriend is going to the cops to make me leave we just got back together the Saturday before thanksgiving. He said he is gonna tell the cops he let me come get my stuff and I won’t leave that’s a lie and I have proof where we went to pigeon forge. I live in Bulls Gap Tennessee. He talked me into quing my job I depend on him for everything. Oh he is hooked on pain pills bad. What is my rights
If you get your mail at his address and have been for at least 2 months. It is considered your home. You don’t even need to be on a lease. He has to evict you. That takes at very least 30 days and he has to go and file this action. Hope you can kick his ass, cause he won’t like hearing this…

My husband and I live in Newberry D.C. and we’re homeless. We were staying with friends, but the landlord just wanted the family there so we had to move. My daughter let us sleep at her place for 2 nights, but we were out on the streets Tuesday. We walked about around all night until my husband’s knee started hurting him and we went to the hospital; we slept there for a little bit. someone blessed us with a $100 for a room yesterday but we’re back on the street today. Newberry has no facilities to cater to the homeless
We let a homeless live rent free on the property in exchange for cleaning our ranch. No cleaning has been done so we are asking him to vacate property. He wants a large amount of money to vacate and says he will sue. Is there anything we can do?
Stampede.. That give you any ideas??

I was injured at Choices, the domestic violence shelter in Columbus, Ohio I lived at for almost a year. I was getting ready for work and cut my index finger on the metal light switch plate grabbing for my clothes. I had to get 10 stitches and subsequently found out there is nerve damage. The hand surgeon told me she couldn’t perform surgery because the injury is at the top of my finger and the nerves are smaller and spread out. I have worked in the clerical field for over twenty years. I currently work but always in pain and the discomfort of numbness and needles pricking my finger. I can’t braid my hair, tie my headscarf or shoe laces tight. My finger is swollen and the injury is clearly visible. I will never pass a typing test again. I want to know if I can sue the shelter for being injured.
Contact some local personal injury lawyers for free consultations. They will be able to tell whether this is the kind of incident and injury that can result in a lawsuit and they will let you know if they are available to represent you. These are the lawyers who advertise everywhere, so you should have an easy time finding a few of them to talk to.

Is it illegal for a landlord to tell you that they can’t accept any money from you and the you get a motion to evict and the she tells you the day before court that if I have any money that I can give her a payment?
She’s trying to rob you.
People are legally permitted to renegotiate their private deals, such as leases between landlords and tenants.
I aM homeless and disabled I need to get a place it is cold out please help me

Can I be put out in the street if I’m not on the lease in Nassau county LI
If you are getting your mail at the address. No you can’t. Whether on lease or not it is considered your place of residence. They would need to evict you by giving you a 30 days notice. they have to file for it. They also can not charge rent for that last month if you pay it to live there. GL..

It sounds like you need a social worker. Call 211 and talk to your nearest United Way office about finding a social worker. In the alternative, Google your city name and the phrase “family services” and you will get a list of agencies that provide social work services.

Trying to find houses for Section 8 and it’s on trouve internet and there’s never anybody to get in contact with and they don’t leave no for rent sign how do you do that if your homeless and need to find Section 8 houses
Are you in regular contact with someone at your public housing authority? That’s the office that manages all of the Section 8 listings. If they are understaffed or not helpful, get in touch with your county human services office. You can find that human services office through the regional office of the Department of Health and Human Services. If you can’t get more attention from these local offices, you may need to file a complaint with HUD or at least seek guidance through their “contact us” link. You might be interested in Tenant Talk which is a free newsletter published by the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
Me and my husband and my dog is going to be homeless because my landlord is kicking us out of my house I need help please
I am a single women with two babies and i have nowhere to go i dont have a job and i dont have family and i dont have money please where can i get help!
My husband and I are helping a homeless man stay at a nearby hotel – we started a community fundraiser to help him. He is beyond grateful, but as our funds run out, we are looking at other ways to support. He is interested in getting a state ID but has no address to list. We can drive him to the ID place, even pay the $28.50 for his ID, but we cannot offer our address to use on the ID. What are his options?
If he interacts with a social service agency on a regular basis, he may be able to use their address on his state ID card. The best way to get your answer is to look on the website (or contact) your state department of motor vehicles and ask them how homeless people can obtain street addresses to use on state ID cards. You might also be interested in seeing my posts about homeless people and addresses. https://homelesslaw.wordpress.com/category/addresses/
Thanks for your reply about state IDs. This blog is such a resource for so many. You should be proud of your work.
Thank you for writing back. I usually don’t know if people read my replies.
Hi my name is tonyneal my question is two days before I got out of a halfway house I ended up catching staph infection MRSA where did the week to be treated and get the test results to see if I got it from there which I did I have a big hole in my stomach now that’s in the process of healing look yet took care of it seeing it if it’s possible to sue for catching something like that
Yes, it is possible to sue a place for causing you to be that sick. The problem will be proving that you really did catch the infection there.
Arrange free consultations with several personal injury law firms to discuss the particulars. They will not charge you unless they win the case or get an out of court settlement for you. They will take their fee as a percentage of the amount that you get at the end of the case.
I and my husband had our motorhome stolen right before Christmas and it was our fulltime residence, we have no transportation or place to live we only recieve 1165.

My brother ended up stranded in Boulder CO he has no where to go he stayed at the homeless shelter last night, he has no ID it’s cold outside I want to help him but I’m not sure what to do?
Depending on where he is from, he may be able to order a replacement license or state ID online using a computer at the public library in Boulder. He can get on a Greyhound bus without showing identification, so you can order a bus ticket online for him. He can retrieve his ID and/or his online bus ticket at FedEx-Kinkos or a similar type of business. You can create an online account at FedEx Kinkos to pay for that print job, if he doesn’t have any money. (Note that if the public library charges for printing he may also need to print his temporary state ID card at FedEx Kinkos.) You can also reserve a hotel room for him in Boulder. If you put him up in a hotel that has a restaurant, you can basically give him an open tab so that he’ll be able to eat and sleep and shower in a safe place for a few days if he needs to wait for printed ID card to come in the mail or if he can’t get on a bus immediately.
Hello I’m homeless and need a hotel room for one night can anybody help me 352 2771685 I’m in tampa
I was homeless recently I was able to recieve an voucher. So I move into an apt. It turn out I reside over a meth lab. Which is still making meth everyday. It’s sad when you realize the property manager is involve and police come and find no drug.YET I GETTING VERY SICK and you can see traffic still in exist. Along with noises and running water crazy. I sleep with window open ( 30 degree)to keep my lungs from hurting.Although my face is burning and itching.Finall!! Im tire and sick at the same time!! HELP!!!
How about calling the Health Department? If you tell them that there is a very strong unusual odor in the building and then describe the symptoms that you are experiencing, they will probably come and inspect the place. It may turn out to be something other than meth or it may turn out that when they report meth to the police, they get action.
I am currently homeless with my three young children and my husband thankfully the lord has blessed us with a car.I’d do ANYTHING to have a home and a life again!

Hey!
I’ve got an eviction notice by helping an homeless man that I know a while. I am trying to make him stay away for trouble even he have a record , I see a potential in him, but anytime I have him help around in my business people. Around me are calling the police or make a scene .
He is not a bad guy . To me he deserves a second chance.
What do I do!!!
What are my right???
Your lease probably indicates whether you are permitted to have an extra person living in your rental. If that is not covered in your lease, check your state landlord-tenant law. The eviction notice might even cite a state law. If he is not living there, maybe you are being evicted for creating a nuisance by having this guy on the premises. No matter why the landlord is evicting you, you can try to “cure” the situation. This means that you would stop doing whatever you are doing in violation of the lease. Here are some legal aid explanations about negotiating or curing situations before the eviction goes through:

I put my RV in my mother’s name. But still use it as my home, have I broken any laws
More should be done to help the HOMELESS. HOMELESS need to have more rights because prisoners get treated better than HOMELESS.
Ideas that are legal is the art work for life
I understand exactly how you feel. My children are adults and I was a victim of domestic violence. I left Michigan and came to Columbus, OH to the shelter. While I was there taking a shower to go to work at my contract position I cut my index finger on a metal light switch plate and had to get 10 stitches. I learned later that I have nerve damage that I can’t sue in the state of Ohio they will not let you recover damages because they feel I should have seen the light switch plate and every lawyer I contacted turned me down.
I have 20 years of clerical experieince and I am writing a book about domestic violence but my finger is numb all the time and it feels like needles pricking me when my finger is touched. I work in pain ever single day, can’t do a lot of the simple things I used to like braid my, wring out a rag tight, tie my shoes etc.
To top that off the shelter paid for me to get an apartment that I didn’t know was infested with roaches and bed bugs. I can’t afford to move because now I needed to have my car fixed and Goodyear marked up the price of my parts 100 to 200 percent and a tune up and valve cover gasket repair cost me $1112.00. I should have gotten a second opinion but I have to work and needed my car fixed. The only thing I can tell you to do is reach out to church organizations who may be willing to help you. I plan on returning to Michigan once I have the time on my job to transfer.
There is a church I plan to stop back in at that offers FredMyers gift cards for homeless. I keep losing my nerve to ask for help. It’s hard for me to ask and receive help. I was always told I need to wait for offers. I am trying to get to that point of growth.
Thank you for your support.
I understand. I was taught to get my own but my mother (who passed away last year) told me everyone needs help sometimes. I rarely ask for help and when I did I didn’t get it from family or friends. It’s okay to ask for help as long as you don’t make it a way of life. Don’t let your pride stop you from making your life better. Hang in there and good luck to you.
Looking for a way to pay for a court appointed school I have to go to by the end of February cost is 300.00
I’m being abused an I need out I’m packing just what me an daughter need an getting just the things we need an leaving a lot behind I need some where to go I’m in need of help for me am a place for her
I am glad you decided to leave but unfortunately you will not receive a lot of help from family or friends. Try to find a domestic violence shelter. Some of them help you pay for a place to live but check to be sure before you go. At the domestic violence shelter they are going to treat you like you are 10 years old and you will have to put up with other females who will lie, cheat and steal from you. Try contacting churh organizations that may assist you with food, clothing and referrals. Good luck to you.

Hello
A friend of mine was living with his relatives for a while. He cannot afford a house. The relatives cannot have him anymore and asked him to leave. He is going to ask them write and sign a letter telling the situation so that he can apply for a housing. He is 65 jobless — a handyman who does not have works in winters. What should he bring in the letter? Does this system work at all or should he take another action?
I don’t know who he is writing this letter to, but it seems that he should be eligible for HUD programs that benefit senior citizens since he is 65 years old. He just needs to talk with a HUD-approved housing counselor in his city. It might be easier for him to talk with that person than to write a letter. They will probably believe him and not ask for any proof when he says that family members will no longer house him.
Thanks for the information. I passed them to him and will come back to you with new updates. I appreciate how you are helping us.
I’ve been in a relationship with a narcissistic for 6 years and I feel that the only way out and it will be better,is to let it all go of unimportant items,and start fresh over,but…. I have a dog now too,first real love I’ve ever felt. This guy is willing to hurt me threw animals so I know I’ve gotta go.wish us luck I have no one and nothing now. We are going to be homeless because anything is better than to have to see the fear in your pets eyes.no one has ever helped me.my mother hated me.and now my life begins
I was evicted in September for basically no reason my lease expired February of last year my landlord never renewed my lease so my Impressions were I was okay we were homeless for four months but when I went to court the judge told me I was on a month-to-month I thought I was supposed to know something like that I fell and injured my knee due to negligence of repairs
I use to joke that I was put on this earth to experience all trials in life, that helped me to give, love wo judgment to all/any who asked or didn’t ask. Leaving my Dr husband, who had me in and out of psyc hospitals, misdiagnosed, believed drugging me himself to keep me incompacitated/incompetent 2yrs in bed, after my middle child made sexual allegations she recanted but dyfs did not until having me hospitalized after my 1st panic attack driving to work. To Christi, I am LDS that my Dr husband converted to, that nobody wanted to believe could do such a horrible crime? He became more desperate after they took away diagnoses, all medication, and I changed my $250,000 beneficiary to my just Temple married eldest daughter still at BYU. Remember the day he calmly said that he was going to have me placed in Ancorra. I called my friend to watch after my child and fled to my grandma’s, my only family. Moving back to my birth town I purposely moved my babies away from, abusive, drug/alcohol, everything I tried to protect from, losing my home, career I loved having my husband file approved ssdi on lies, him fleeing to another state to avoid charges, alimony. Our Ward Bishop did help, though I didn’t know how to tell him what we’ve been through, fear, guilt of a mother who felt of all people should have known, never wanting to become my mother who stayed w her abuser, allowing to lose me. The year I forgave and felt strong enough, excited to go back to work after taking in and care of 3 different families, I had a bad slip and fall with concussion. Again not seeking a lawyer, never been sick or injured to where I couldn’t pick myself back up from, until now. Became extremely ill a 6mo after spinal blocks for pain wearing off, seizures, passing out, severe weight loss, and our new Ward Bishop telling me I lack Faith, must not be praying enough? Started saving texts Pleading for help for Dr’s, specialists, neurologists needed, besides not able to drive anymore, bathe, walk. I gave up and accepted death, couldn’t wait to go Home. Became so ill under my LDS Dr and Bishop’s care, I was Approved by the state for In Home Nursing Care. Thought I’d die while waiting for the 5 years of property and income history paperwork, making the mistake of the church belief Family First, and moved to Pa offered by my son in law, for Better support and health care. He threw me out after a seizure, in the middle of Amish nowhere less than two weeks after moving my entire life I offered to give them anyway, spending all I had on food, clean fitting clothes for my grandsons, son’s new job, utilities changed over, and of course my ssd check for agreed rent. All while sick, lost 30lbs, fractured lower back, head/neck, molars cracked, special diet for hypoglycemia and gluten intolerance. Oh yeah, cell phone w all contacts broken, battery dead in my jeep. Gets even better. Same night, heartbroken and disbelief, try and sleep in my jeep, when Gap, Pa police 1st tell me I have no rights here and will drive and drop me off at the Wal-Mart? Few hrs later, son in law has police take me to the ER claiming Suicidal, hoping to have me committed. Deja’vu. Hospital sent me back that morning with discharge papers stating I need a Neurologist asap, saying he don’t give a F, get the F out. The cab driver who wouldn’t abandon me, spent his entire day looking for a shelter that wouldn’t accept me with my medical problems, calling local Bishop again who had his wife take me to a Hotel for 4 nights, bishop telling me to figure out what I’m going to do by then. Have no family, I just moved everything so my youngest daughter wouldn’t drop out of college, just making the Honors House upcoming fall, to take care of me. By the way, they through her out before school started back, and the local Bishop I never met told me ‘I guess you’ll be sleeping on a park bench’, not knowing anyone, my grandma passed the year I moved to be near her. The only friend I had/have, almost killing himself trying to find and come rescue me almost a month later, leaving his family, friends, job, bringing me to a rotted rodent, snake infested camper, completely traumatized to be alone. Bishop telling me and my daughter in Idaho that he’s right on finding me suitable housing. That’s been almost 2 years ago, losing everything including my clothes, shoes, coats, no kitchen/stove for special diet needs, no hot water, real windows or door, space heater, still treated like I’m purposely Inactive or deserve this, having my only ‘male’ friend helping me live like this not alone, passed out, seizures, not able to help myself for the 1st time in my adult life in Millville, NJ.
I have been homeless for 10 yrs wrote hot checks and UMV charge checks need to be paid so I don’t go back to jail. I am 53 no job because of criminal background living in a house I shouldn’t be in all shelters are full. Have some health issues I at wits in
Sometimes when landlords check for criminal background, they violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act or else a state law on unfair or unreasonable use of a criminal record. Sometimes, for example, the prospective tenant has a criminal record that was set aside or suppressed. In those cases, people do not have to tell landlords about the record. But if the landlord finds out about it and uses it against the tenant, the tenant likely has a legal claim– depending on how the information and other details in the particular situation. Here is an article titled “Using Consumer Law to Combat Criminal Record Barriers to Employment and Housing Opportunity.” This article tells how to take legal action when a landlord does not get a prospective tenant’s permission to check criminal records through a credit reporting agency, does not give the prospective tenant a chance to correct the record, or violates anything in the state law regarding criminal record usage. It is a technical article, written for lawyers, but you can give it to a legal aid lawyer to be sure that he or she knows about this kind of claim.
On ssi wrongfully evicted,sanctioned.I . Have strong suspicions landlord had my sheriffs five day notice ripped off door,and taken out of mailbox. I’m in / streets .She’s a psychologist of all things I was told by sheriffs at courthouse one was posted,and msiled now what! In the streets.she refuses to let me get my possessions.http://www.caltenantlaw.com/Eviction.htmat courthouse
There is usually a court process for getting your possessions back after an eviction. It might be called a “petition for tenant’s right of re-entry” or a “petition to recover possessions.” You can go to your nearest legal aid office for help with this.http://www.lsc.gov/what-legal-aid/find-legal-aid If they are not available to represent you, they may have a packet of instructions so that you can go to court yourself.
My husband and two daughters live in Florida. We have been in a house rented for almost seven years. On January 15 we got a email terminated our lease due to owner is selling the property, which is fine we found a place but can’t move in till march first, which means we will be homeless for 8 days. We asked if we could stay and the owner said no,?we don’t know were to turn for help or if she could legally leave us homeless for those eight days and we don’t want to lose our kids either
Look at your lease and see how much notice she owes you. Is she charging you for the full month of February and then not letting you stay until the end? Is she making you move out before the end of the month because the new owner will own it in mid-February? If so, can you find out who bought the place and ask for their permission to stay that extra week? Can you get your movers to hold your stuff for that week? Can you pay for a hotel if you tell the landlord to keep one week’s worth of rent from the deposit that she is supposed to return to you? I’m not asking you to send me answers to these questions; I’m asking these questions to help you think through ways of getting through that week.
we didn’t have a lease, we kept asking and she never gave us one. Also on the email it stated a month to month lease plus she hasn’t even put the house on the market, she said there is someone very interested. I don’t have a problem with movers cause we are getting a pod. My issue is can she legally kick us out without us having a place? cause we don’t want to lose our kids cause we won’t have a place to stay. We spoke to the lady at the office that runs our community and she said she can’t make us leave due to we will be homeless. And no we can’t go to a hotel for those days cause we used all our monies for our new place.
FAMILY OF 3 IN NEED.
Myself as well as my wife and 1 year old daughter have been stuck homeless in Spokane WA. We’ve tried other resources out here but they base on a score out here and homelessness is rapidly growing in this city.. We are a very quiet couple and our daughter is a very impressive respectable child with many advancements already in life. Im really praying this may be the end to my search. My name is Nick and my Wife Aly and our almost 2 or old daughter, Alyana. I am on disability and my wife really takes alot of time taking care of me and our daughter when I can’t. But she usually finds a local temp place and gets her foot into a job that way. Hope to hear from you. Our number is 509SixZero8One2Three0
Willing to take all options as well .. We’re tired of what little money we have going to a room not suitable for our daughter anyways. Thank you.
We also have two tickets on greyhound to Ohio stopping in other states.. Have nothing in Ohio though. . have no idea on what to do. :-(
*~nick~*
Ps. We also have no pets.
Houston Texas is a great city. There are lots of help fir those who are homeless and jobs in Texas is plenty. I would give Texas a try.
I need legal help,I’m on ssi/ssd.when I applied for snap benefits I applied for myself and my 17 yr.old daughter who resides with her father (one hour away) on the application I explained I only have her on wkends.Somewhere in between that time,my daughter got her first time job after school (down where she resides with her father).she was still in highschool.Two years later (this past august ) the cops came to my home,put cuffs on me and took me to the police station,they didn’t explain what was going on until I got to the station.I could not believe they were charging me with 3 felonies because she was working while she was at “main home” and I didn’t report it.I have severe depression,been homeless many times thru the last few years and now they want me to pay restoration of 1500.There are days I can’t afford to eat but they just don’t care.I don’t know what my daughter does when she us w her dad,only when she’s with me.NOT ONE PENNY OF HER MONEY ever came into my house.its not my underage daughter’s job to pay for food.my charges..Grand larceny,welfare fraud,filing false instermit.
Hi I’m living in a homeless shelter with an oxygen tank to stay alive. No other shelter will take me because the oxygen is too much liability. Now for my question: can a homeless shelter coerse me to save 80% of my little $50 every two weeks gift my sister sends me. They say that they want the homeless to save the money. They tell insist that we save by giving them $80 and they SAY that they will put somewhere until we leave. I have a bank account so they say that I must show them my account to prove I’m saving the amount they want. If I refuse,then I must forfeit the 80% or be thrown on the streets. What can I do to keep my financial business private while staying in the shelter?
I am surprised to read that a shelter requires residents to save money because that requirement can cause residents to lose their eligibility for Medicaid and SSI. Both of those federal programs require beneficiaries to have less than $2,000 in order to be eligible. On the other hand, maybe the shelter only requires residents to save 80% of their money up to a certain point which is lower than $2,000. As a general matter, shelters are permitted to know how much money their residents have; this is often the only way that they can be sure that every resident is poor enough to need the shelter. Their donors, government funding sources, and bylaws may all require that they only house people who are unable to afford any other housing. Massachusetts Legal Help has a good clear explanation of how emergency aid relates to poverty status. Even if you don’t live in that state, this explanation will demonstrate why shelters need residents’ financial information. http://www.masslegalhelp.org/income-benefits/emergency-assistance-guide/4-income-limit

I am 24 in Sacramento.hispanic male Born in the Capitol of ca.strong willing to work I lost my car sobi don’t have transportation my bm and I separated .she took my daughter and fuked me over in every way beneficiating her.and her $ I’m homeless I know how to work and so many things .i wan to live my life too and I’m a great father even my DAUGHTER which is turning six recognizes my situation as unfair.anybody around here?
Right now I am homeless I live in Extended Stay InTown Suite motel I am having problems at the Extended Stay suite hotel because now they’re saying the boxes that I have stored my personal property in the room and stack them neatly they want me to take them out of the room and put them in the storage room that cost a lot of money so is there a rule that I must oblige them by putting my things in storage they are my everyday living things with my children
If that rule does exist, it would either be written in the contract you signed when you went into the hotel or it would be posted somewhere. The rule might not be specifically about boxes. It might not even come under the heading of “storage.” It might be about luggage or room cleaning. If there is not a rule about how much stuff you can keep in your room, then the hotel might be breaching its contract with you. You might ask about this at your local legal aid office or H.E.L.P. agency (HELP stands for Homeless Experience Legal Protection) https://www.probono.net/oppsguide/organization.517397-Homeless_Experience_Legal_Protection_HELP Making a legal argument might just make the hotel mad at you. You might consider offering to do some work for them in exchange for free access to the storage space.
My fiance and i were kicked out of a homeless shelter because they said we broke the rules. Now we are living out the car. Its way more complicated than this. I would explain more if need be. Im wondering do we have a civil suit against this place for discrimination
The best source for finding out whether you have a basis for claiming housing discrimination is HUD’s housing discrimination page. https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/topics/housing_discrimination Once you read that information, with your situation in mind, you can decide whether to click on HUD’s link for filing a housing discrimination claim.
My name is Rose and ive been homeless for about 3 years now . Ive been on a supportive housing list for about 2 and a half years . Im currently in a homeless shelter far away from family because of domestic abuse . But but since there werent sny reports the housing authority hasnt budged to help me . I have a 2 year old son that has been homeless along with me . Is there any possible way that i can get boosted up faster because of my situation or do i really have to “wait my turn like the rest of the people waiting” ?
Your domestic violence caseworker is probably the professional who can best answer this question for you. Each housing authority establishes its own set of “preferences” about who gets priority status on the waiting lists for various types of housing, including supportive housing which you are waiting for. Would it be possible for you to get a live-in job?

Cfh5301982@gmail.com my name is Rion. Someone had recently got ahold of me about me getting a hold of Eric Mason. About transhional housing said if I sent him 450 he would have 30000 at my door in 15 hours. I’m on the verge of lousing everything cause I can’t return to work. I didn’t send him anything but I think its a scam. I tried to get the money. But my wife told me that I shouldn’t trust him. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. What are ur thoughts. U can contact him on Facebook

I am a 60 year old woman who’s been on disability because of a drunk driver who hit me head on in 1997. My disability is being taken away from me, and I have to move out in 16 days, from this asbestos and black molded house out in the country with no transportation. I had to Pawn my dead mothers ring for $200.00 just to waste it on trying to fix a car that is Chrysler’s and Dodges designed mistake with the water pump in the engine. My abusive ex husband owes me for the teachers retirement that I took out to borrow to start his business. And now he won’t pay me back the thousands he owes me. So he is sitting really well with a collectors item hot rod car and escaped his abuse. He has shot at me an beat me for years till I finally got a chance to escape. I’ve even paid his child support. I know I was so dumb to be so kind. Can there be any one who can help me. And now the Social Security /Disability Administrator wants to stop my monthly payments. Because I haven’t been getting all my mail. The mail boxes have been moved twice because of a convenience store was built on this highway next door and now the highway is being widened and my mail is sometimes on the ground or the ditch. And so I don’t always receive my mail. So that’s why they want me to start over on my disability. Please help me.
It should not be too much trouble to fix the error with the SSA, but get somebody from legal aid to help you. Go to the website for the Legal Services Corporation http://www.lsc.gov/ and in the top right corner, click on the red button that says “Find legal aid.” Then you just need to identify your location and the site will tell you where you can find the nearest free lawyers. The legal aid office might also be able to get you a quick appointment with your housing authority. Here is a link to help you find your housing authority on your own. https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/public_indian_housing/pha/contacts/ They should be able to get you into some sort of HUD funded program, if not before you get the disability straightened out then soon afterward.

Hello there. I need some help. I have a friend who recently was being abused in Clearfield PA so she moved back to her hometown in Lock Haven PA and got a room in the Lock Haven Womans Center. She is homeless. She had no where to go..so she went there. Everything was going okay until a woman came to stay there. Little after she had this new room mate. All of my friends things went missing, clothes, phone, jewlery, etc. Well when my friend said something somehow she got in trouble. My friend said she was going to call the police and the staff of the Lock Haven womans center told my friend that if she called the police on the theif then she would get kicked out of the womans center. Well my friend didnt call…but she got kicked out anyway. She didnt break any rules or anything. And they are giving her one hour to get her stuff out of the womans center or they said they are going to throw her things in the dumpster. This cant be legal! I know for a fact that it is rude and unjust. The staff of the lock haven womans center need replaced and my friend needs a place to stay. Pleasr someone give my friend some advice asap??????? Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Evidently Lock Haven Women’s Center is involved with the thefts ….. contact the Sherrif’s dept and tell them the same story …
The women responsible will have a new place to stay. The way you describe them; they have been there before.
Sounds like a prison genre… on the outside.
Los Angeles California down town skid row is having a major issue with police about tents taken down. First there was a arrange ment with officer Acosta. Then he lied, saying he did not say that in front of his Sargent. On the side streets tents should be able to stay up all day. Verses the main one’s open. “I believe! “?
In Seattle, the City Council has been legislating in favor of establishing and providing basic city services to homeless encampments. Here is one article about what they’ve been doing. Homeless advocates fought for this legislation. In Los Angeles, your ACLU has a project called “Homelessness and Dignity for All” that will probably be able to help with various facets of your situation: police conduct, due process rights, etc… They might also take a lead in fighting for the kind of legislation that Seattle has or they might refer you to a different organization that is working on lobbying for city services to homeless encampments.
I done work for this guy now he don’t want to pay because I would not turn the water on with his water key the water people had turn water off I fixed the bathroom and put in a hot water heater now I can pay my bills I have pictures of the the before and after I done the work and I also still have the keys to house
Did you submit a written bill with a due date on it? Do you have a contract from when you started the job– one that shows what you will do and how much you will be paid? If you have those kinds of documents, you can send a letter reminding him that he owes you the money and giving him a deadline. If all else fails, you might have to sue him in small claims court.
Can a transitional shelter kick you out for taking a day off work to try to get a car
It just depends on the shelter’s rules. Those rules are the contract terms that give you the opportunity to live there.
I have stayed at the shelter in Hope Arkansas it is called Hope in Action #2 and the lady who is over the shelter is named Mrs. Helen. She is purposely rudee to me and my family. My dad informed me their is nothing you can do because Hope is a small town and she is like a celebrity untouchable. My family advised me not to take any action towards her but it’s time for this mistreatment to stop. My sister and I faced hard times which forced us to rely on shelter. In upon my visit my sister wanted to seek assistance from the Hen house which houses mother in children to look into her options in case her daughter had to stay with her. She then had to fill out an application and had a interview within the same day. I am unsure of her name but they criticized my sister’s clothes and stated it looks like you hadn’t received a bath In told her to change her clothes and due to the fact we are facing had times a washer in dryer is limited. My sister walked out of her office crying feeling horrible about herself. In due to my father and my sis needing a place to again we returned back because this is the only shelter in Hope Arkansas. In me in my husband also needed a place to stay she stated If we were so rude to you why do you want to stay here. She also said your sister told me you called in complained on me. I’m just at an end. It hurts me to thank how many people she has disrespected and made fun of their situation. A shelter is suppose to provide you with guidance and give you support I just just don’t know what to do anymore. I know this isn’t were you post to complain of a bad experience with homeless shelter I just want people to know to expect at Hope in Action #2 in arkansas and not to mention she called my e year old niece dirty in laughed about it over the phone.
is it legal for government subsided rehab houses for the homeless require that their “clients” surrender their Link cards to the facility before being admitted?
If you have a “Link Card” then I’m guessing that you are in Illinois. There must be a regulation or manual that indicates when (or if) social service providers such as rehab homes can take control over clients’ link cards. The Law Project of the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless can probably answer this question. To contact the Law Project for legal help, call them toll-free at (800) 940-1119, email ali@chicagohomeless.org, or text them at 312-720-1800

WOW Gina , The only help you need is to get your tubes tied! You say you have 2 kids and 2 on the way and yer all homeless in the streets begging. Yall need to stop breeding how horribly selfish do you have to be to bring not just 1 but 4 poor unexpected children into this world knowing damn well what type of hellish life they are about to endure. That is just pure evil on your part to me.
And before anyone opens their mouths about how cruel I am for saying so… I speak for those kids of these horrible parents because I was a victim of the same abuse and I know what it’s like not have a place to lay yer head at night and I know what it’s like to have been fed garbage out of mcdonald’s garbage dumpsters. And I also know that being homeless today is even harder than it was back then cause they put padlocks on those mcdonald’s garbage dumpsters so now you can’t even do that anymore .

I wish that all of those who are now homeless could all meet up with what ever if any resources you could come up with to form some type of community a mobile one if need be like mobil pvc wheeled hydroponic grow gardens and livable structures. mobile hen houses. I don’t know maybe disguise it as a ren fair type thing & everyone who works it lives there. I’m just saying come together make something out of nothing make a reason for you to have mobile hen houses part of the act like a open easter egg hunt people pay an admission and if you hollow the colored eggs out put lucky scrolls inside whoever gets a lucky scroll in their egg gets a cut of the entry fee mean while you use the meats from the egg for food for the community. let the folks who are not well enough to do the harder labors be the ones to help and instruct the kids to hollow out and decorate eggs. That was just an example not the answer or the end to poverty but the start of a good idea to a solution. God does help those who help themselves but I think he would like to see people helping themselves in masses together. When we go to church it is a communion of togetherness we don’t go there to be alone. Maybe we are not suppose to be alone no one wants to feel lonely that’s one of the hardest parts about being homeless is the loneliness we feel so alone in the world with our sorrow. but if the lonely all come together they will have a sense of home. And even if you have nothing you yourself are something and can offer your knowledge or strength to help and provide for your inner community. Let those bad people you are all running and hiding from be the outsiders of a world you create together. My blessing to you all.
Hi, my family and I moved to New York and was denied shelter in the Bronx. My question is, after the 10 days investigation period, will my closed case show up in another county after I apply?
Only someone who has worked in that system would be likely to know whether there is a statewide database versus just a local or county database and whether it even matters that you were previously denied in a different location. People’s circumstances change all the time; maybe somebody is not eligible one month, but is eligible the next month. And policies differ in every city or county; less crowded places tend to be more flexible than busy urban shelter systems are able to be. You might contact New York City Homeless Advocates and ask if they know this answer. http://newyorkcityhomelessadvocates.org/
My family and I were “dismissed” from the family shelter we were in unfairly and with no warnings or chance to fix their “issues”. Is there someone I can make this known too? Someone higher?!
Yes, you can report to the organization that funds the shelter and to the shelter’s board. Here is another thought: If this shelter is funded by the government and you think that you did not receive due process, contact your nearest ACLU office and see if they are available to make a case out of it.
We will be homeless Friday3/3/2017 in Austin TX. Husband 56 has Afib, CHF and Diabetes. I am in St David’s right now, they think I have diabetes now. We have been in a hotel 13 nonths, and no more money left. Anyone with advise please help,
I am homeless and 57 with a bad hip and back can not walk that good it when I walk I want to get on pha they is giving me hell I don’t no why I got a litter from them saying that I need a address how can I have a address and I am homeless I don’t understand please help me
You don’t say where your staying! If you are doubled up with someone you are NOT considered homeless under federal law. If you are staying at a homeless shelter, I’d suggest asking the homeless shelter if you can use there address or go to the post office and ask if you can have your mail delivered there since you do not have your own place. Are you in rehab? If so you are considered homeless and should be able to use the rehab’s address.
There’s a homeless Court I found out about today and I need to know if I can get on the homeless Court even though I’ve got to go to walk in court tomorrow my name is Michael Scott my email address it is and 6 ons
I live in Salem, Oregon. I have been to shelters here. I feel hopeless with my experience in them. I am seeking options that may exist that may benefit my life. I am depressed. I feel I have to camp alone due to experience that is not worth inviting around self esteem. I find it difficult to get going and that I have to dig deep inside myself to get strength and courage to cheerleader my own confidence. I get hurt feelings and feel unwanted like a burden most places I go. I get the “homeless programmed thinking reflexted at me like I am dirty, less than safe to trust, must be a thief, I have gotten accused of shoplifting in front of customers at Goodwill. (The employee switched with another employee for clothing counts and I had to prove in front of people my innocence. Lifted my shirt proved nothing in backpack, and was needing clothing bad. I had money to pay plus more at the time.) Plug in outlets blocked for: calling shalters weekly Job search Housing Appointments 911 Resources Food locations Clothing Financial assistance Bus/transportation/showers/warming centers/etc. NO SOLICITATIONS & NO TRESPASSING I am mentally, emotionally, spiritually, exhausted. Nerve damage from weather conditions in my feet and hands so chronic pain. I am hurt by so many people who get relief or whatever sickness fullfilled by daily tearing me down, assuming prostite if homeless, stolen bank money (over thousands by now over this much time-account closed to stop stress) I am overly due for a hand up in life without stings of I must pay back through unmoral ways. I am in need of a place to live, a job, and good health restored. My kids miss me. I can’t due much to offer HOPE with my life looking less and less hopeful. I need a role model buddy to help me know the way to go. I am praying and struggling to cope and me ideas and every option have been blocked by slander and insecure past relationships that believe I need to be out on the street suffering for leaving after boundaries were step on to many times. I need help please. My life is on hold waiting for a new way to recover from to much pain, grief, loss, abuse, and shattered image.

Im homeless because the Salem-Keizer public school district retaliated against me for demanding that they protect my young child from hate crimes for his nonconforming gender identity. Essentially, they defaced my character by turning me into child welfare under false pretenses. Child welfare then got involved and added to my now ruined character by giving false information to my children’s fathers. I need a civil rights/family law attorney to aid me in federal court to make some changes that in the end will hopefully help the people who need it the most, our survivors/the homeless. I have doctumentation for everything, approximately 30 pounds or more of evidence against the state, county, and school district for their misconduct, maltreatment, and intentional corruption.

I’d recommend going to your state’s Department of Transitional Assistance/Welfare Office. They should place you in either a homeless shelter or place you in a motel at their expense. If you became homeless in that state the school district that the shelter/motel is in is REQUIRED by federal law to provide transportation from where the Department of Transitional Assistance places you back to the school district where your child was last registered for school and the school district that your child goes to has to pay for the return transportation (that is if it is quite a distance).
My husband met another woman and threw me out with no notice to move her in. I had absolutely no money because his job required us to move constantly so we lived on his paycheck and it was plenty. When he kicked me out he did not give me any money. I have ptsd and a messed up knee so having difficulty working. I found a place to live in exchange for cleaning house etc I recently found out I am not safe. My roommate has legal issues and without discussing his case and respecting his privacy I will just say because of a certain reason he moved cuz bad people where after him and still are. I live in Colorado, I don’t no what to do. So much more but will take up to much room.

Hello, I am very new to this homeless life, and honestly don’t know if I can handle it. I just dont know what to do but cry. I got milked big time by a what I thought was a boyfriend, until he took everything I owned, 2 houses which he manged to get into his name, all my possessions and belongings in my homes, my car, and even my cat. He has ruined my credit by maxing out all my cards, which now I cant even pay. I came home to his new girlfriend living in my home, and the locks being changed, with an eviction notice for me posted on the outside of the door. I am 61 years old, and dont know where to even go to get warm. I dont have a job, but am willing to work, just finding it hard to get hired because of my age and the fact I have not worked in years. I live in virginia beach va. And there isnt any shelters. I went to the salvation army for help and they told me there isnt any assisstance at this time. I really need to know what to do, I am all by myself and no where to turn. Any suggestions. Social services told me they can not offer any assisstance without a physical address of where I am living.
I am now homeless. Brand new to this whole different way of surviving. I’ve been screwed big time.and just dont know whaere to go or what to do. I just lost everything I have ever owned. To a guy that was suppose to be my boyfriend. Sweet talking, controlling, conniving, shewd and very clever. I am 61 years old, no family and really no friends, cause he kept me in a very controlled environment. I lost 2 homes, all my personal belongings, a car, and even my cat. He destroyed my credit by maxing out all my cards. I came home to the locks being changed, an eviction notice posted ti the door and a woman opening the door informing me she is the wife of my boyfriend and they rekindled their relationship and I am no longer welcomed there. I just dont know what to do. I went to social services for help and they told me they could not help me without a physical address. I went to salvaltion army to be told there isnt any help at this time. I tried some churches and didnt get anywhere either. I can not find any shelters. Or anywhere to even brush my teeth. I do not have a job, it is really hard getting a job at my age. I live in virginia beach va. I need some help , some suggestions, something!!! I really dont know how to survive like this. It is pretty scary.
I’m a in Arlington,TX been outside 4 days. Can’t get into a shelter no food, no family. I don’t do drugs or anything. I was a victim of a violent crime ended up hospitilzed on life support 4 months. I lost everything I owned. Been on my own 27 years after my mother was killed in our home by her spouse. When I was born my family was estranged from each other and I never got to meet them. I can’t even get in a shelter they all saying no room no funding. What do u do when you are literally outside no food not one penny in the Dallas/Ft Worth,TX metroplex area?
Here is a list of all of the homeless service providers in the Arlington area— just to be sure that you haven’t missed any. Here is the list of Arlington food providers. You might need to contact the shelters every few days to see if space has opened. The food providers might know about other housing possibilities. Have you applied for YourTexasBenefits yet?
Hi , my name is sherry and I live in Rhode Island . I am a mother of 2 boys aged 21 and 17 graduating this year with high honors i might add, we also have been blessed with a transgender 8 yr old , whom is now my daughter . My husband and I and our family have experienced so many road blocks ,we absolutely have not deserved.
Let me start from the beginning. We found a house 8 yrs ago with a purchase agreement , so the agreement was $1500., $1300. for the rent of the property and the other $200. was to be put in an escrow account so after 3 yrs it would be a down payment for the purchase of the home , I also have legal and binding documents and a purchase agreement . After 3 yrs the owner did not want to sell due to the market crash and we decided to keep the agreement the same until something that was to become agreeable between both parties . We have been excellent tenants ,never late on the mortgage & always fixed any problems nor asked them for the money for these repairs, we also had the cesspool pumped and paid for that as well . My husband 4 months before December of 2016 finished off the basement, therefore adding more value and equity to this house we were under the assumption this was to become our ” FAMILY HOME”.
It wasn’t until this past Christmas, 2 weeks before where we were told they did not want to sell when I asked about the escrow money , they basically said there was no account with escrow money . My family and I are also going thru legal issues with the school department where my ” daughter attended ” because of negligence on the schools part while she was in their care she was bullied knocked down and her tooth was knocked out , she has been called a faggot and taurmented ( and a very traumatic event happened on the bus )
With everything happening simultaneously this had taken a toll on our family.
My husband and I refused to give this gentlemen another dime so another words he sent me a five day demand notice , so my family had to pack 8 yrs of our lives in 2 weeks to put in storage . We had just built a tree house 2 months before this happened and i begged him to gobe me time to remove it and a week later we stopped by and it was already torn down , it broke my daughters heart. My whole family is separated with not having any family member that can accommodate 5 more people along with their families. I am usually a strong woman but sometimes one needs advise or a helping hand .
I am home schooling my daughter so I have had to take time out of my house cleaning business and my husband is disabled. I have been anable to find any programs for affordable housing for homeless families or any legal advise to see what my civil rights are , ANY help or suggestions or resourses or even a prayer would be greatful and thankful. I’m sorry about the novel , I just needed to explain everything so you could understand the whole picture.
CAN ANYBODY HELP ……PLEASE !
Have you gotten in touch with your local housing authority? Because of your husband’s disability and your current lack of employment, you may be eligible for some form of HUD-funded housing. Here is the HUD portal to local housing authorities. The local housing authority will be able to figure out what you might be eligible for and where there are available properties.
I too am homeless after being laid off from my job it was a domino effect I lost everything while in the process my boyfriend lost his job we live in Mississippi on the coast. Living in his vehicle a man ran a stop sign and hit us totaling out the car we didn’t have insurance so he was not liable. The point I’m trying to make is you are not alone I have never been so humbled. I was one of those people that wouldn’t make eye contact with homeless ppl, but boy I now see I can happen to anyone in the link of an eye. God bless, prayers coming your way.
Here is the link to the Mississippi Department of Human Services. http://www.mdhs.state.ms.us/ You might also reach out to your United Way to find out if there is a local organization that can repair or replace your car either for free or in connection with some sort of charitable grant.
My name is Darrin. Davis, live in the shelter..Hope to find apartment to live in but only income have is disability…Because have in jail, unable to get rental place in my name..
Need help, likes to work but need place to sleep…
I’m homeless too and live on a monthly disability. I Rented a storage unit with 24 I know it’s against the law but it keeps me safe. Don’t tell anyone know where you sleep. Leave before the office opens and come back when the office is close. Join planet fitness gym for showers and shaving only $10 a month. And rent a PO Box with an address for all your mail. This should hold you until you can find a real place to live.
Don’t give up! I helped a client who was convicted of first degree murder to get into a rooming house. He got into a subsidized rooming house within 6 months of applying.
Please help me…
Michael, were are you? I live in Massachusetts. If your in Massachusetts I’d gladly help you with getting into housing.

I am homeless and trying to learn how to drive to better my situation. My question is can a homeless person take a driver’s permit test in Florida if they have no proof of residency?
According to the “Gather, Go, Get” site operated by Florida’s Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Department, any new driver in Florida does have to present a document proving their residential address. However, the Florida statutes do seem to have a work-around. According to Section 222.17 of the Florida Statutes, a person can go to the local court clerk and file “a sworn statement showing that he or she resides in and maintains a place of abode in that county which he or she recognizes and intends to maintain as his or her permanent home.” I found this opportunity by looking at the definition of “resident” at the beginning of the Motor Vehicle laws in the Florida Statutes. Here is that definition: (34) “’Resident’ means a person who has his or her principal place of domicile in this state for a period of more than 6 consecutive months, has registered to vote, has made a statement of domicile pursuant to s. 222.17, or has filed for homestead tax exemption on property in this state.” This does not necessarily mean that the sworn statement can replace proof of street address for the sake of getting either a learner’s license or a permanent license, but you might ask the court clerk.
I can’t answer your question regarding driving, but have you gone to a local shelter and have you asked them if you could use their address as a mailing address?
No residency? Trying to aply for ID or a drivers license? Check out homeless resources in your local area. There are locations which allow you to use their business as a place to receive your mail. Good luck! Stay calm, cool, collective. People respond better with our needs when we are polite and assertive.

Here is a booklet about service animals and the law. It says that private businesses, such as hotels, have to allow service animals, but not emotional support companion animals. Still, you might reach out to your nearest Disability Rights Network office and ask if they can help you find a place to stay with your dog.
A companion dog is NOT a service animal!
A SERVICE ANIMAL is any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability.
COMPANION ANIMALS are not individually trained to perform any specific kind of task. Instead, the principal service that companion animals provide is simply that—companionship. While service animals are trained to behave flawlessly in public, companion animals may or may not be as well-behaved. As a result, companion animals are virtually indistinguishable from the family pet.
Under the FHA, a disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment which significantly limits a person’s major life activities. Even if a lease says “no pets” or restricts pets, landlords are required to make what is called a “reasonable accommodation” to allow pets who serve as assistance animals, which includes animals who provide emotional support.
I am so sad to read all of the stories on this website. I have been homeless for about a year now after losing my home of 35 years to foreclosure. I am in Tempe, Arizona and have gotten food stamps recently, Thank God. The housing authority is a joke, they have thousands of employees that are there to help the homeless but you can never really get any help. I wish I could find someone who needed me for something. I am 61 and my wife is 62. Social security gives me the run around and my whole family is now dysfunctional. Is there any help for us old people that have been used up by this system? I was living at campgrounds but my truck broke down. Now I have no income, no car and no home. My wife is so sweet she says everything will work out. I will pray for you all and myself and hope she is right. If anyone has any ideas i will listen. Thanks.

Start at the Social Security Administration (SSA). They will ask you questions that only you will know the answers to. If you can answer correctly, that will be the first step in verifying your identity. Do you have a doctor, dentist, or other service provider who has known you for a long time and can verify that you are who you say you are? If so, you can tell the SSA how to contact them. If you have ever been arrested, the police may be willing to verify your identity for the SSA. Tell the SSA if such a record exists. Once you get a replacement Social Security Card, you should be able to obtain a state ID card. If anyone in your family has a copy of your birth certificate, borrow it from them and take it to the SSA. Here is more information about how homeless people replace ID cards.

Me and my 2 children are homeless i used all my money for hotels cabs to and from school.and buying food for us.i really need help im maxed out.we had to leave are home because my mom beat my son with a bat. I have a TBI traumatic brain injury and he has multiple disabilities.we are in Rochester ny.

I put $16,000 check down on a house from a builder he was a legit Builder and a real estate agent he’s a drinking at the biggest church in Louisville where I went he let me know if you came and picked up the check he let me move in the house he cashed the check for mortgages and then he left town houses in the court system it made me become homeless I have no family that I have nowhere to turn me and my husband have even sleep outside in the storm
Was this builder prosecuted for fraud or other crimes in connection with this situation? If so, you may be able to get some help from the state’s crime victim compensation fund. If not, you can still file a consumer complaint with the State Attorney General’s office. You might also contact the Office of Victim Advocacy to see if they can help you or point you to resources. (Note that all of these links are for Kentucky because you mentioned Louisville.)
I was homeless for over two years, lived at a shelter for 9 months before I got into my roach infested apartment. I mentioned the pest problem but not once have they sprayed. They don’t half do the repairs but when the 1st comes there is a reminder for the rent. I was a contractor at my job before they hired me permanently in November. Since I have an Associate degree in Computer Information Systems Applications and 24 years of work experience I thought they would utilize me to my full potential. What a joke!!!. All I am is a glorified mail clerk. They hired 5 people after me and taught them them the computer processes because they have worked in the organization longer than I have. Typical for my culture. I hate my job but I need the healthcare benefits so I have to stay until I find another job. But at 58 years old it’s not going to be easy. As a black person who has always worked and never really asked for help, I go to the store and they watch me like I am going to steal something. As a victim of domestic violence, there’s the relationship with my husband. We are trying to work things out but he still acts the same way and always accuses me of cheating. We are not together, he still lives in Michigan and I live in Columbus, Ohio. So for everyone out there who feels like they have it bad remember the 58 year old woman who always did good and helped people whenever she could who is struggling just to keep her sanity. It’s hard but stay positive, believe in yourself and DON’T GIVE UP. Don’t let all the people who want you to fail win. Believe in yourself and God and things can only get better.
Since you mention your culture and being underemployed and treated like a suspect, it seems like you are feeling discriminated against. To find out whether you are a victim of employment discrimination, get in touch with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. You will see an online complaint form plus a lot of information on that site.
I’m a single mother and I would like to know do i have to sell my vehicle in order for me and my children to enter the shelter in south Carolina?
People usually do have to demonstrate that they have a lack of money and valuables in order to be eligible for shelter services, HOWEVER, for most poverty-based forms of legal eligibility a car does not count. In other words, people applying for bankruptcy get to keep their cars and people applying for SSI and Medicaid get to keep their cars. So it would be strange for an individual shelter to say that people can only live there if they get rid of their car. But keep this in mind: you generally have to be unable to afford housing in order to be eligible for space in a homeless shelter. If you have money that could be used for housing but you are instead using it for car payments or very high car insurance, you might be financially ineligible for admission to the shelter.
I need a place to stay for temporary

Maybe you could get a MegaBus ticket. Need to purchase ticket online, however, if you do NOT have a credit card maybe you could get a pre-paid credit card at the local store. Through Megabus you can get tickets for as little as one dollar each way. By ticket 45 days in advance!

My husband and I have been homeless and living in our Jeep along with our 3 cats for only about a month and a half now and we’ve already been I’D ed and questioned 4 times (and counting). We’re in the Sacramento/Placer County area. The Genersl rule seems to be, if you’re homeless …. Move Along (we don’t like your kind here). SOME Wal Mary’s will allow overnight parking till there are too many and it becomes “an eyesore”. We shouldn’t be seen or heard. Close your eyes and homelessness doesn’t exist; at least not in Our neighborhood.
How many faceless people will it take to understand that WE are part of WE THE PEOPLE and homelessness won’t just go away and ignoring OUR problem will only force it to be YOUR problem whether you want it to be or not. People, open your eyes and pull your fingers out of your ears now; before YOU become one of US !
I need help desperately for the last eight years I was taking care of a man in home health care that was in a coma and when he came out of the coma he couldn’t talk or feed himself use the restroom he was in diapers I took care of them 24 hours a day 7 days a week for 8 years he passed away last August and of course it really hit me hard I got very close to him well I was not certified for CNA in Houston Texas or for that matter anywhere I would like to go to school get my certificate I really enjoy doing this kind of work I do not know what to do I don’t know where to go I don’t know what to do I have absolutely no income at all my unemployment ran out 3 months ago I cannot seem to find a job I do not have a vehicle as two after he passed away I couldn’t afford to keep the car it mechanical problems I couldn’t afford to fix it so here I am no job no car no income whatsoever I don’t know what to do I’m at my wit’s end where do I go how can I do something I’m literally starving to death help me please I’m getting depressed and I don’t know where this is going to go I’m crying right now as I’m telling you this story please somebody out there help me and give me some advice I’m not out here anymore
Have you looked at care.com in addition to agencies? https://www.care.com/senior-care-jobs/houston-tx I wonder if the Texas Skills Development Fund can somehow help you get that Certified Nurse Assistant training that you want. http://www.twc.state.tx.us/partners/skills-development-fund You must know people at the Texas Workforce Commission, since you were collecting unemployment. Can you ask them for ideas about how to work and get this education paid for? http://www.twc.state.tx.us/
Am disabled. Crippled for life with extremely painful disability. Can’t afford to continue living on disability check. Between the crippling pain and the inhumane treatment of the disabled and the absence of real significant help I am actually better off dying. Doesn’t matter I will have to die anyway. Regardless of the fact that disabled are better off dead or not. Literally starving to death. America is so inhumane that I can’t even have a death bed somewhere. Would appreciate any help, but there is none. Will try to just starve out and try to resist temptation to commit suicide. Not sure that’s the best way to go. Maybe as it gets harder to starve, I will find enough courage to end my life. Please no one refer me to any of those phony suicide hotline numbers. The truth is they exist to encourage suicide of fence-sitters like me. When I tell them I am starving to death, they just hang up on me. They are fraudulent like most if not all phony charitable organizations.
Starbucks will not let you starve. If you go in there and tell them that you are having a rotten day, they will give you a free cup of coffee. You can probably request hot chocolate or tea if you want one of those instead. The Salvation Army will not let you starve either. Nor will the Union Gospel Rescue Mission. Is there a senior citizens center near you that provides meals for the elderly? They will almost certainly let you join in those meals as well, although you may need to show proof of your disability if it is not obvious. You will find people to talk with at all of these places, but if you don’t feel like talking you should at least go and get something in your stomach. Are you lonely or bored? If so, make your way to the nearest branch of your public library. If you find a comfortable seat near the reference desk, you can listen in on other people’s conversations. That can alleviate boredom pretty quickly. Look through the new books or the magazine racks; maybe something will catch your attention. When you are ready, ask the librarian where you can go for meals and groceries.
I am Aaron in rehoboth de. I am homeless and was brought here and abandoned by my aunt I am from Florida but now my stupid asshole aunt abandoned me here with nothing I need to get some help or a roomate I have a job but not enough to pay 400 a week at this hotel my dumb ass bitch of an aunt put me in
You must pray that Satan will let go of you and that you can learn to others with same respect that you ate looking for, I hope you are cognesent enought to get what I am trying to help yo with, but just for your sake here it is, You have a mean heart and a filtymouth, it’s not your faultit is that. Satan wants to destroy God and taking you to the Lake of Fire in Hell willhelp Satan win. As soon as Jesus knows you want and will accept his hid Love and help, you will feel different, you will have wisdom and most important you will be humbeled and then you will have the ability to communicate with other. Christans that will care about you and lift you out of the chaos in which you are now flung. Dear sir. I We pray for your evil aunt and your new Heart to be softened.. You may respond if you wish but please discuss your response with Him first.. God Bless

Have you been in contact with your local housing authority yet? That agency will help you figure out whether your family is eligible for any HUD funded programs. Find your housing authority through this HUD list. https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/states When you say “no one seems to care” does that include your local homeless advocates? There may be certain types of homeless services that the two year old and your daughter can get as well as other services that you as a disabled person can get. Here is the Directory of Local Homeless Service Agencies published by the National Coalition for the Homeless. Have you been in contact with any family service agencies yet? These might be Lutheran Family Services or Jewish Family Service or Catholic Charities… Call 211 to reach your United Way referral service and find out about family service agencies that offer assorted professional social work services in your city.
Just found this blog and think it’s so empowering to the homeless! Knowledge is power, and I hope it helps even one person get back on their feet
I am aware of the severity of homelessness but unfortunately McKinney Vento is a waste of money and does not help the homeless students. More often than not it gives an unaccounted for handout to a family that needs no proof, and can claim they are homeless without being questioned. The lack of regulations for this ACT sour the integrity for the help of those truly in need. I think assistance is needed but the majority of situations I encounter are abusing the support and actually harming their children more. The Act needs more accountability, more common sense as the ingrity of the act is at stake.
please help me find out how to help my homeless brother. our mother passed away four years ago and left all five of her children each equal portions of her home. the will has been probated for some time now almost 4 years but my oldest sister who is the executor will not sell the house. She has allowed several people to live there and they do not pay any type of rent and each of them have been in prison multiple times and are felens. by her not selling the house it has made it to where my brother couldnt use that money and is unable to buy a car or better himself. he is also told he’s not allowed to stay there and I have also been told the same thing even though neither one of us have ever been arrested or in trouble with the law. our oldest sister knows that he is homeless in California and does not care and she is out actually a counselor and her husband is the chancellor of a small College in Texas. she says her that until the house is sold that she still in charge of it but she won’t put it up for sale and she won’t give us any rent from the people staying there. They have been there for almost 2 years. is there anyway I can report her since he is a registered homeless person and she is keeping and taking what is ours not to mention my husband passed away in September and I could use for money myself. I’m feeling really desperate my brother is not doing good and he needs the help. I do not have the money to hire an attorney right now hopefully I will soon I just had to file bankruptcy for the house I’m buying myself. thank you
You should report what she is doing to the courts. If you can not afford an attorney. If the inherited property is in California you may try http://www.lawhelpca.org I’m NOT an attorney so am NOT giving legal advice.

Please tell me is it legal for a homeless shelter to make people pay rent or fee to live there. If you don’t pay they put you out in the street. This shelter is in Shelby ,NC. Please help me on this, because it’s not right to see people thrown out in the street like a dog.
There are some programs in shelter that DO require one to pay rent or a fee and this is LEGAL.

Dear Sir. I know a 42 year old lmentaly disabbled homeless man, he has no violant or criminal history, he had been living a Mt. Clemens shelter for 7 weeks but on April 18th he had to leave and back onto to the streets. My question
can he still use the 7 weeks that he was living in a shelter to qualify himself to get help securing a MSHDA voucher and have a rent free sppartment, food stamps, and vouchers for furniture, cloths and bus tickets??? Sir my name is CharlesMalesev my Email is. Sharyn888@Gmail.com thank you for any suggestions and CharlesGod Bless
According to the Homeless Preference Checklist on this page for the MSHDA Voucher program http://www.michigan.gov/mshda/0,4641,7-141-5515-342824–,00.html someone exiting a shelter after a certain period of time is still eligible for the preference. But this and other eligibility criteria all have to be validated with particular documents, so read that checklist and make sure your friend is working with a caseworker. If he doesn’t have a caseworker, find a social work agency through your local United Way 211.com.

In Oklahoma is it illegal for a homeless shelter to charge you 25 percent of your income to live there if they are funded by grants donations and other methods ? Please help me out with the answer to this question. Thank you ahead of time .
The federal government ALLOWS transitional programs to charge for staying their despite their receiving grants/donations. Some transitional shelters are within the same walls as the regular shelter so this is what may be taking place. The program should explain to you why they require you to pay 25% of your income if you were to join their program.

Am in desperate need of housing for my cat and I
I lost my job relationship of 16 years and home within the last week and need housing for my cat and I now
I am an injured truck driver in Columbus, OH that was abandoned by my company as i was injured on the job 7 days before Christmas. I have been staying at the Motel 6, until I was told that I had to leave due to their 28 day policy. I have NO means of transportation and I have enough stuff to accumulate an apartment, along with a dog. I am re-injuring my back, shoulder and rotator cuff. I had to sell my equipment in order to pay to stay at Motel 6 while I await my Workmens Compensation to come through.
If anyone can help, or know of a place, mobile home, etc that is pet friendly, please let me know? I have been having a hard time trying to find someone to help me move to another Motel 6 in North Columbus-Polaris, as the management has threatened to call the police on me, due to the fact that I have NO TRANSPORTATION to move. Also, the chiropractor I see is 1 mile from where the Motel 6 is that I’m currently staying at. Now, that I’m forced to leave, seeing my chiropractor has now been made into an impossibility.
According to the BWC, my lawyer should be receiving my first settlement by the end of this week. Meanwhile, I suffer more as I am re-injuring myself and have now been disenfranchised due to their BS 28 day policy, and now cannot see my doctor 1 mile away.
Thanks!
Il est revenu après 9 mois
Bonsoir à toutes et à tous,
Certains d’entre vous se souviendront peut-être de moi et de mon histoire.
J’étais durant 5 ans avec quelqu’un qui m’a quitté pour diverses raisons. Notre rupture a duré 9 mois.
9 mois pendant lesquels j’ai tout fait pour le récupérer et j’ai énormément souffert (dont une tentative de suicide).
Plusieurs personnes du forum me disait : “de contacter marabout SAID qui est un Spécialise du retour Affectif qu’il m’aidera a le faire revenir dans 3 jours”.
Et bien voilà c’est fait !
Aujourd’hui il est revenu mon mari grâce a marabout SAID et nous sommes de nouveau ensemble depuis peu.
Nous avons beaucoup discuté et fixé quelles étaient nos priorités respectives.
En y réfléchissant bien, je pense que cette rupture nous a été bénéfique à tous les deux. Elle nous a permis de murir chacun de notre coté et de savoir ce qu’on voulait vraiment.
Aujourd’hui on s’en sort beaucoup plus fort de cette rupture et beaucoup plus proches. On a tiré des leçons de nos erreurs et je pense que c’est une bonne chose.
voilà, ce petit post pour donner du courage à tous ceux et toutes celles qui souffre aujourd’hui,de contacter SAID

Je vous embrasse
Great news, all of you homeless people everywhere and in every state in the US, in October of 1999, in the Supreme Court for the United States the Supreme Court upheld the decision of the artists in the US 2nd Circuit Court in the case of Bery vs. New York City, and because poverty art has been recognized for hundreds of years as a form of expression by artists expressing their art and depicted in almost every country, city, county, and state Government, they are now powerless to convict any one for expressing their poverty to the public, or fining some one like an artist who express themselves through their art, like an artist does with his art.
Feel free to file a lawsuit in your US District Court in your city and state, if you have had your civil rights violated, if you win, you could receive up to $ 350,000 per civil right violation from your government.
My name is Steven Montes at E-mail: globalwarmingdefense@gmail.com
and I am suing the City of Tucson for running me out of my 8 DBA-Montes Orthopedic locations, and after I becaming impoverished, I was prevented form expressing my poverty to the public, like many of you have been treated in the same way.
Contact me at 520-749-1105 for your copy of the case Bery vs. New York City.
Just stumbled onto this.. Does this blog still exist?
Need help with this problem. I live at a homeless shelter that had army tents for people to live in and now they have had 70-90 huts. I am in a wheelchair and have a service dog. Also, have filed for disability due to severe central canal stenosis. I’m the only one left in a tent. They refuse to give me housing and told me today I need to find somewhere else to go. I’ve done nothing wrong and I follow all rules. Any suggestions? Thank you
If you are being treated differently just because of your disabling health conditions, then you are entitled to equal shelter treatment under the Fair Housing Act. You can read about this law and file a fair housing complaint at the HUD website. If they are making you leave for other reasons, you just need some basic help finding housing. For that, you can contact your local United Way to look for housing agencies and caseworkers at general social service agencies.
First time in my life at 55 everything and I don’t know how to start and homeless shelter it really I was staying with a friend because I lost everything it was her home not my home and just because it was a friend it has helped she helped me more than this homeless shelter I’m in now I just don’t even understand how is operating and if it’s to help you and I understand volunteer it benefits them and it’s supposed to benefit the homeless people with my experience first time for everything I would feel better considering myself homeless outside under the tree I never experienced anything like this in my life and I want people to know about it cuz I’m living it and they’re supposed to help they don’t help us here… but to be turning homeless had to come to a homeless shelter and they want me to find a job find a place to get money from the government and they don’t tell you how long until it almost 30 days is up first experience and they want you to get back on your feet and move forward and 30 days to get a grant but I had to come to the shelter and before they can sign off on me I have to be so I can tell you what I was homeless before I got in the shelter but I was more stable than I am now because no one listens I’m very disappointed disappointed outside would be safer cleaner sanitary environment

Hi ,
I’ve been homeless off and on for a few years. My struggle with drug addiction stems from running away from my problems in my life.
I use to feel like the police were people I could trust and I use to feel they where here to help protect people, now I fear the police… I live in Woodland, CA. I ran away from my family ,friends because I couldn’t deal with the problems I had with them and the money I owed from traffic tickets I had gotten along with the legal problems from hanging out with the wrong people.
Anyways I now feel there is no hope for my future and no hope I can fix my problems.
As I have been homeless I now feel fear when see an officer coming.
2 yrs ago I waved a cop down as I was in tears, I told this cop a man threated to shot me.
That officer didn’t care ( he says he doesn’t recall me saying anything about that, in fact he says in his police report he pulled me over which is a lie)
So the out come of that was me being arrested for being under the influence because he asked me when the last time I used any drugs and I trusted him and told him yesterday morning this was on Sunday evening and I used Saturday morning early so clearly I was no longer under the enfluence. I was upset at the fact a drunk man told me he had a gun and was going to shoot me.
That is just one example ……
Hello I have a question my name is derrick Kennedy and I am on disability and home less I live here in santa Cruz California. I am currently on section 8 waiting list in sonoma county in California. but I have to wait 3 to 4 years to get a voucher. so I have been paying for camp sites in state parks in California. instead of sleeping on the street or sleeping any were I will get in trouble. they say that everyone only gets 30 days out of the year.does that apply to even people that are Ssi a set income.and has a disable pass.if it does then does that mean that they are setting us up to live on the street and not let us try to thrive until we are able to pick are self up.I’m stuck and I got a ticket from state park ranger because of getting wrong information from a family member and witch I also got kicked out of Henery cowel state park and now I have to pay 288$.but because of that I’m not going to be able to to pay for gas.car insurance. phone.and camp sites.they or going to force me to sleep in the street.
If you do not have a valid argument for fighting against those tickets, then contact the office or offices where they are supposed to be paid and work out a payment plan that is feasible for you— maybe ten dollars per month. I wonder if you can find roommates or if your disability income is sufficient to get you into one of these places http://www.lowincomehousing.us/cty/ca-santa_cruz until your voucher comes through.
Bed bugs in shelter and nothing is being done now they are trying to move me to Lowell mentally abusing my children and I. Moving me further because I complained further from my blood doctor and doctor and I will have to change my kids school and it’s mentally abusing my children and I. Call me please 7742011374
It is possible that the shelter has an exterminator during the day when residents aren’t there and won’t be affected by the chemicals they use. Nevertheless, you have legal standing to report the bedbugs to your local health department and ask that they inspect the shelter.
Your concern about having the kids change schools is not consistent with standard interpretation of child abuse law. See, for example Findlaw’s overview of child abuse which describes abuse as resulting in “imminent risk or serious harm.” Kids change schools all the time without suffering any risk or harm. Schools and school systems are accustomed to handling all kinds of kids as they transition between schools.
Your children are NOT required to change schools. You CAN still be consider residents of the city you became homeless in. This is in accordance with FEDERAL Law. The city the shelter is in MUST provide transportation to the city you originally came from IF you wish your children to still go to school there and then the school (in the city you originally came from) must provide transportation back to the shelter. If you need help with getting this I’d recommend that you contact Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) at: 857-654-1000 and ask for the FAMILY TEAM. Best of Luck!
I have been homeless for at least 16 years now,I’m not say I’m living in my car or under a bridge but right now I’m living in my NEICE garage.well with future reference I should not to say
Anything about her inconsiderate children…so of course I’m right about what I said but now I’m no longer allowed to. Live here.i do have an appt with housing on the 24th. So pray ,pray that this hour good .well now. U know who I’m addressing this to I’m not gonna leave anything ..I hope that’s ok that I spilled my honesty.
Good luck with your housing authority appointment. You might want to read through the HUD Blog as you get ready for that meeting– just so you will be well-informed about their programs and other issues before you get there.
Ii I have been disabled since 05. And now my wife and myself find ourselves homless living in a parking lot
Can a man and a woman in a homeless shelter walk off the premises together? It is supposed to be a *Christian home* but the board of directors have never been homeless or walked the streets in their life. It’s apart of human nature to meet greet and mate regardless of however this turns out and it isn’t fair I can’t hangout with whoever I want when I want when I already gotta deal with enough Bs in this stupid world. I wanna know if it’s against human nature. If so, I’m going off on these people cause right is right, wrong is wrong.

My Family and I are homeless in San Diego, Ca. We have a large family but are split right now. My Fiancee and I sleep in our car at the beach with our smaller babies. We both work full time and have solid positions at our jobs but lets just say the past follows and there are a lot of landlords out there that don’t believe people change. Even when you have a family to support the righteous way. Because we are not legally married, we dont qualify for shelter programs without being split up further. But hey, at least we live in a city that the temperature is mild and the beach has showers and bbq grills so at the end of the day we are okay. But, this lifestyle is wearing thin and we hope someone will be willing to work with us to help my family be all together instead of split.
FIRST OFF I DO DEFINITELY THINK “ALL” SHOULD BE CUT OFF OF FOOD STAMPS AND WORK OR DIE!!!! MEALS ON WHEELS, OPEN HAND AND EVERY ENTITY THEREOF IS A BIG JOKE!!!! ALL.SHOULD BE CUT!!!!!! I FEEL LIKE TRUMP WORK OR DIE!!!!! MEALS ON WHEELS, OPEN HAND, SENIOR CONNECTION ARE KNOCKING DOWN AND THE MEALS ARE A BIG JOKE! FIRST OFF IT’S ONLY ONE MEAL FOR JUST A FEW DAYS ONLY PER WEEK!! DEFINITELY NOT MUCH! JAIL MEALS BEAT IT ANY DAY AND HEAD OF OPEN HAND AND MEALS ON WHEELS STATES THEY DON’T GET OR NEED STATE OR FEDERAL FUNDING! SAYS THEIR DONATIONS ALONE KEEP THEM RUNNING ! So WHY NOT CUT THEM AND LETS SEE IF PRIVATE DONATIONS IS ENOUGH??? THEIR LIKE SATAN THEY CAME TO STEAL KILL AND DESTROY!!!!! CUT THEIR FUNDING!!!!! ASAP!!!! FOOD STAMPS ALSO AND OR IMPLICATE ALL TO DRUG TESTING!!!!! THEN YOU WOULD SEE SOME MONEY!!!!!! HALALUAH!!!!
D. Smith, You sound like a very unhappy person. “JAIL MEALS BEAT IT ANY DAY…” You sound like you speak from experience. “THEIR LIKE SATAN THEY CAME TO STEAL KILL AND DESTROY!!!!!” English check… You don’t sound like someone who should be quoting the Bible. I assume you are feebly attempting to mock Christians. “CUT THEIR FUNDING!!!!! ASAP!!!! FOOD STAMPS ALSO AND OR IMPLICATE ALL TO DRUG TESTING!!!!! I think you need to take your own medication.
Who the fuck cares what you think. Go crawl back under the garbage can you came out from.
May I ask you why you are so angry? Homelessness,, is by far is not a joke. To wish people that’s less fortunate and especially the elderly death is uncalled for. I hope that you realize that you could just as easily be in the same position as fast as your Head can turn. Try being Nice and educate yourself. Not sure if it’s the “stigma” that comes with homelessness. Drugs, Alcoholism, criminal, etc. I’m sorry, it’s my pleasure to inform you that you that in the Boston Massachusetts area and I do help the homeless. I have met some really nice people. They are humble and especially grateful. There are some that are on drugs and what not, but they need help. Not a death wish. At the end of the day. THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS….
Your statement about the less fortunate is your right.. your constitunal right. I’m not going to bash you for the way you feel. But I’m sure that you will meet your destiny… BAD KARMA.
What are my Legal rights, as a homeless person living in shelters in Louisiana?
My husband out of fear had me sign and notarize a paper saying for $2000 I relinquish all rights to every thing we own. He has now kicked me out and taken everything financially and left me homeless. I sleep on the alley in my truck to be close to my son. Are these paper’s legal? He never gave me one penny for anything. Please help I only signed them to keep him from taking my son.
Hello everyone. My name is April and in from Birmingham and I think in just down on my luck right now and learning one of lifes lessons. I’ve currently not had my own place or car for about 6 months and its just been a struggle to start from so far down. I’ve been patient and praying about it and things are looking up but I also have a six year old son who has been living with his father luckily for me so I could concentrate on myself but unfourtunatly his father has been rediagnosed with cancer as we survived it in 2012 and I know in needed more than ever now and I want to be there for both of them the best i can they are really the only family I have. So anything would be much appreciated mainly if you could pray for myself and my child and his father to take this journey again and thank you for the outlet to just vent its hard to have so much to say and no one to tell. So thanks again have a great day
I work as a PCA for a retirement center in NC. I have 4 children, two with which I receive daycare assistance. My parent fee is set now at 140.for the room each week it costs 240. I bring home 540 twice a month. My income is less than my bills. Is there anyway to temp have my fee waved?
Most subsidized programs of every kind, whether housing or childcare or anything else, have the legal authority to reduce or waive their fees when a family has a documented financial hardship. When you approach them, instead of asking “yes” or “no” ask “how can I get this fee waived?”
Info about how to apply for section 8
Apply for Section 8 (also known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program) through your nearest housing authority office. Here is HUD’s information about Section 8. It will help you figure out if you are eligible and it will give you all of the facts about the program. If you are found to be not eligible for Section 8, your housing authority will let you know if you are eligible for other HUD programs. Ask them about that, in case they don’t voluntarily tell you.

Yes, it is common for shelters to charge minimal fees like this. Thank you for sharing.

My name is leo and I am currently homeless,have been for a couple years. Since becoming homeless I have experienced lots of profiling and discrimination, last night me my wife and a friend stopped at a shell gas station Wich is in the neighborhood we stay in to buy some cigarettes.the cashier working had an issue with my wife a while back because she grabbed a cup without asking, so as I am at the counter he sees her and tells her she has to leave, she asked him why and did not give an answer, I wanted to control the situation so I told her to wait outside.then I ask him what the problem was and starts saying something about a lighter a couple days ago and just stops going into detail, tells me I have to leave too and wouldn’t sell me my cigarettes, I ask him what did I do wrong and he goes on saying “I don’t have time for you homeless people” I tell him that I have never done anything wrong and never disrespected him he tell me “you brought that in” and one more time says i don’t have time for you homeless people and threatened to call the cops if I didn’t leave, so I said a few words still not disrespectful but letting him know that he is in the wrong for the way he was treating me and discriminating me. I have been going to that store for years, never loiter,steal from them, panhandle on their lot or anything you may expect from a homeless person, I wanted to know if you think I have any kind of case for profiling and discrimination and if I do how should I go about it? Please help
I am in San Antonio TX
A lot of those stores have video, although I don’t know about audio. But it could show you guys weren’t bothering anyone.
I am so very sorry Leo NO ONE DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS!!!!!
Homeless people do not count as a “protected class” in Fourteenth Amendment equal protection law. Also, private business are allowed to refuse to serve customers. This might be more of a social justice situation than a court of justice situation right now. He says he doesn’t want homeless customers. What would happen if homeless people and those who support them all boycotted his store? Here is an example of a news story about what happened when a business treated a homeless man badly. http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/2016/01/12/restaurant-takes-heat-for-refusing-to-serve-homeless-man.html Maybe one of your local media outlets will publicize your own situation or a boycott based on your situation.
I need to know if someone one can kick you out, if they don’t give you notice…not late on any payments.
It just depends on the details, like whether you had a lease for a longer amount of time, whether you had some other type of arrangement that you were counting on –even if it wasn’t exactly a lease, and what your state rental laws say. I bet that your nearest legal aid office has a landlord-tenant fact sheet of some sort telling whether the landlord owes you notice before kicking you out.
Hello, My name is John and I am in need of some help and information, I became very sick in the end of Jan 2017, to the point of being in a coma and life support and being lucky enough to survive and time to try to regain my health.
I ran out of saving for myself and my two children who live with me and I tried asking for help, begged and pleaded, even tried an online donation page but almost no one helped. I lost my place to live because I was months behind and no income, I got turned down by disability already and the state only helped me with snap and health insurance. I do not know what to do now.
My kids and I are at a friends for a few days, and I need to find a way to get some sort of help or something for a place to live prefer around where I am now. I have to maintain life saving medication, a lot of pills daily and because of heavy severe daily chest pain, I am unable to move long distances. I worked all my life and was in my field for 22 years, and now with this illness I have lost my credentials and license due to being unable to pass the federal mandated requirements for my job. I started to recoup and had hopes of returning to work.
Then I had a bunch of Pulmonary Embolism’s and had to go on heavy controlled meds and after they started to clear, I suffered a heart attack during some early part of May this year and am still recovering from that as well. My breathing is rough and my movement severely limited and slow with a cane. With all this I do not understand how I do not qualify for help, or housing. I do not understand this system.
Are u allowed to stay in nyc Homeless Shelters without your paper or expired visa, wthout any legal problems.
I am homeless and and i dont have my papers yet.
I’m not sure if you are replying to someone else or are homeless yourself, but IF you are homeless and illegal you may want to move to Massachusetts. Massachusetts is the only state that I am aware of that ALLOWS illegal to live in state-subsidized housing. NOT every city in Massachusetts but in SOME of them. I know Boston to be one such city.

Hey im becoming homeless and live in miami i want to move to colorado with my 2year old daughter how can i get help
Hi my friend and her five children have been made homeless and placed in a hotel room with one double bed and a bunk bed that is it, three children under 5, and a 15 year old girl also a boy of 17.she is under erawash Council but they have moved her to Nottingham were her children can no longer go to school. Just wondering if there is anything she can do as she doesn’t seem to be getting the right help. Regards Louise.
FEDERAL law PERMITS children to remain in the school system they were in when they became homeless! The city that they are homeless in MUST provide transportation to the original school district IF the family has the intent of moving back to that district. You can CHOOSE to put your children into the school district the shelter is in IF you wish to but otherwise they MUST provide for the cost of transportation TO school and the original school district MUST provide for the cost of transportation BACK to the shelter. If you need help with this I would suggest contacting the LEGAL AID office in the state your in.
Cousin over power trust. Mother deceased. Cousin change all document and deed. I am daughter of next kin I have all proof of doucmet what can I do I been homeless cousin wouldnt let me stay mother house. Cousin didnt give my share cousin took it all.thank you
You can contest an estate administrator who is mismanaging things. It is very technical legal work though; you really would need an estate lawyer to handle it. But how do you get an estate lawyer if you don’t have any money? That’s the big challenge. Your legal aid office may be able to take the case. If not, they might have a list of lawyers for you to call. Is there a H.E.L.P. service in your city for people who are homeless? If you have a disability, you might be able to get an estate lawyer through the Disability Rights Network. That network of disability lawyers does not typically handle estate law, but they may have estate law connections. The county bar association might operate a volunteer attorney program that can either represent you or help you find representation.
I did you took it off
Is it true that having a ticket from the transit in New York City if you live in a shelter that they will vacate the ticket is it true
I’ve never heard that!
I see nothing in New York’s Public Authorities Law that exempts people who are homeless from paying fines, but it is possible that as an internal practice they waive those fines when they know that particular people aren’t able to pay them.

I wonder if you would be interested in a live-in job. This company https://edwardrose.hrmsasp.com/Careers/ has jobs in Grand Rapids (and elsewhere) for onsite maintenance technicians who get a free apartment in exchange for being on call to fix things whenever a tenant needs help. At least your family would be together living in a nice place. I don’t know all of the salary details, but you can read the qualifications and apply for the job if it sounds like a good fit for you.
Fucking word press censorship? Why bother to share comments if sensored¿¿¿ homeless is an individuall that became a product of society’s hate. Stereo types as “narcotics” user drug chronic etc.
1).The basic citizenship of United States of America. In Hawaii is the only place a homeless person gets cited a judicial infraction of stereo type s of unlawfullness making bench warrants as police who fabricate infractions just to incarcerate steal burden fianancially even more upon homeless individualls. And taking advantage of asserts
Or any success achieved over $2,000.00
The law on proof of compliance has become the law of terrany communism.
The right to have basic call phone communications mobile devices. Right on Obama but how do I keep my cell phone charged to keep in touch with my outreach case mgr. Trying to find me housing? Let alone not many of these people were ever omeless themselves and knows the humiliation of urinating in your pants and then duduu. Just these main problems addressed solve the %%%% of the main issues of being homeless
Then becoming a statistic of being able to taking care of yourself mentally and physically
Puts that individuall at another risk of abuse
Self sufficiency, now that same transitional housing cant touch your money or medically known prescriptions. Add to this individualls that on employee performance evaluations of
Kiss ass fuckers. In the work place surrounded by prostitutes thieves. Drug dealers. Conartist
Othr low life stereotypes of society’s hate burdens accountability from not me I don’t know somebody else? Now do you see those people that became like myself. Look around do you see myself as a product of your hate, why I’m polite humble I don’t leave a mess where I live in the streets why do you hate me drugs are not an issue with god, but like those that killed my savior your hate has created another product of you. Me!
Me and my family who just happen to be homeless and in need of some where to stay but this is what happen i received an emergency homeless choice voucher but the ccompes that i applied for demied me and my family the thing about it is that i am disable and homeless i though the voucher would house me and my family no mattet what it was just like false hope they wrote me and said that they was offering me a 2 bedroom and also gave me the apartment num and all i called the complex ro let them know that i would love to have y all then when i called in to tell them i would except the apartments they told me i was denied my baby cry all all the time becouce of 2 evictions that are on my back ground due to the evictions and the thing about it is that i was not rhe lease holder and i did not get house i did not think i would be turned down becouse of the voucher the homeless shelter gave me a i am really in need of a housing
I don’t know that Section 8 landlords have to accept the first tenant who wants their apartment, but it seems to me that an advocate like a caseworker or legal aid lawyer might need to remind the landlord in your situation that the housing choice voucher guarantees that most of the rent will be paid by HUD and that you have been vetted for your ability to pay the remaining amount. Have you called your HUD office to report the situation? (The intake person won’t be able to answer questions, but hopefully a supervisor will get back to you.)
My mother and I are homeless. The house we lived in was sold. Having low credit makes it hard to rent. I lived at a place for 10 years . my landlord I jsd wouldn’t fix the mold or fix anything. She was a bad landlord .told me I had move for no reason. Now I can’t use her as a defence cause she won’t talk to me case I was told her I was going to turn her in. The mold was affected. Me bad. I’ve always ppsid my rent on time. I have a payee that pays it each month for me. Being on ssi and us having to spend 70.00 for fees it breaks us . so if anyone out there will give us the chance to prove that were are good renters we would appricate your help. We are looking for a two bedroom .we can pay 800.00 for rent.we are clean people . thank you for your time in reading my ad.
The National Low Income Housing Coalition suggests that you contact your Congressional representatives for leads to affordable housing. http://nlihc.org/involvement/housing You might also contact your nearest HUD liaison https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/states. If neither of those resources work out for you, try to find a social worker at a private agency. Social workers are good at helping people find housing and housing support services when they are also trying to cope with other challenges, including financial and health challenges. Here is an online tool (associated with the National Association for Social Workers) for locating nearby social workers. https://www.helppro.com/nasw/BasicSearch.aspx You can also type “social work agencies” and your city name in a search engine to find this kind of assistance.
Hi, I have a complex situation, that’s turned disastrous. I realize I’ve fallen in the cracks and my civil rights violated. However, as of now, I just need urgent help. I”ll try to be as brief as possible. I’m an over 50,female, disabled, and homeless due to domestic violence. I was nearly murdered. Due to mistake at state atty’s office, though I was victim, the report was typed backwards; it read I was arrested. Though I received a “DV victim’s letterhead”,assigning me to advocate,benefits, security, and punitive damages, it took me a year to get anyone to listen to me. The time limit to apply for relocation, much needed counciling, (ect) ran out, though it was the state’s error. I became homeless,couldn’t work, and was raped. Again, the system let me down. I already suffered from PTSD, prior to any DV or rape. I still cannot find proper treatment. I am a mess. Though I’m countless wait lists for housing, I have lost everything I ever owned. I live in my career I was w/ my cat. It’s inhumane for both of us. I now have been dx w serious life threatening health issues. I cannot find help. I’m on the phone or online day/night. I learned I have no friends or family. I need to be hospitalized I’m, but can’t afford to board my cat. I receive SSI, which is depleted by the third of the most month.i have not had a hot meal in years. I’m college educated. If.I had a studio apartment, I could work from home, not depending on federal aid. I’ve attempted to obtain a case worker, therapist, PCP, legal aid, all no availability. There’s more, but that’s the condensed version of. I need help, assistance, advice, guidance, orat least referral. I don’t want to die needlessly in this car alone. I still have goals, hopes, and dreams. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Are there any hardhip or desitute laws for towed vechicles that is ur home
When a vehicle that serves as a home gets towed, I think that the social service system is more likely than the legal system to have a quick and helplful way of getting the vehicle back. For example, a local poverty support agency might have an emergency fund to pay the towing fee or a caseworker may be able to negotiate a deal with the towing company or impound lot. Probably the best that you can do with the legal system in this situation is try to argue for lower fines on any parking tickets that led to the towing. You may be able to lobby for changes to the local laws that enabled towing under the circumstances that cause homeless people’s vehicles to be towed. It’s a good idea to engage civil rights groups and poverty advocates and the media in this sort of campaign.See the post on this same Homeless Law Blog about getting laws changed for more thoughts about this.
Thanks for sharing a great knowledgeable blog. its very helpful for all. I loved your Content.
Thank you for offering this resource for ppl who are struggling already from being homeless.
Hi my name is Julie and I live in the back of my sister’s house. I’m having problems with her son and her boyfriend they brake in and still stuff and vandolize not just that, they have turned on the propane tanks more then 2 times there trying to kill me and my son. Please help don’t knw what to do. Thanks
As far as I know, the only way to involve the legal system with burglaries, vandalism, and attempted assault or attempted murder is to call the police.
In Naperville Illinois I was renting I’m a real estate agent I was also working at Bloomingdale’s and the gangs kept breaking into our house we prosecuted one the rest of them went after my autistic grandson who lives with me needless to say there was a lot of police reports and so the homeowners association was upset about it told the other broker and he told me I had to leave or he was going to evict me so he didn’t give me but two days notice and I moved out and my credit was ruined that time so I could not get a place to live and I had to live in a motel for 5 months and finally moved out of the state and got my grandson away from all those evil kids and now I’m wondering is any of this tax deductible for me having to live in a motel and spend $375 a week which left me with no money to even get a place to rent. I thank God my older children are helping us I am getting my brokers license in the state I moved to.
I am a woman in Utah. My family and I are homeless. We stay in a shelter here but as soon as it warms up we have decided to leave this place. It is awful here. I appreciate everything they do here for us . I just can not take the verbal abuse and now threats by upper management the racist demeaning snide remarks and attitude by the staff. The favoritism with staff and other clients. Director cleared my son’s bed on last Friday without even knowing who’s it was. All we ever received back was 2 blankets he had a duffle bag of most his belongings.library books his shoes art supplies a school project that is due today wich the library book was for. And his 10 inch Samsung tablet that he saved 2 birthdays and a Christmas plus allowance. For this is something my son had saved foover a year 250 dollars plus is a whole hell of a lot to save for an 11 year old boy. He is absolutely devastated. It is now Weds and his things haven’t even been looked for or mentioned.i asked the director Friday night when we noticed all his things gone. At wich time he director said she gave all stuff back. I said obviously you didn’t these things are missing. At wich time she told me we deal with it tommorrow and I said no we deal with it now. She continued to tell me she would take me outside and handle me. She took us down stairs made me wake my baby up. My son had no shoes on daughter only in diaper. She took me down stairs screaming at me that I think I am entitled but in real life I amthe lowest of lowest. They have done this once before with daughter stroller. I have had all my food thrown away again. This is forth time. I am terrified being here. I am so scared of this woman I made an appointment with her boss and sh was in office I did not attend. I am scared for my family safety now. I am being harrassed by some girls here saying she said to woop me up. I am so scared and nowhere to turn I can never replace my son’s things he has no clothing or shoes except what he had on that day. He has worn them 6 days now of course they been washed a few times but he is at a very mean bullying age . They already harrassed him in school pulling him by backpack and calling shelter boy just mean things he tells me it is way worse than he would ever tell me. I have been waiting for housing for almost six months. It was supposed to be no longer than 3 weeks. I want to hold my head high again the stigma and shame I already felt . And now this my own family and friends do not know we stay here. I am isolated from everyone in my life. I have no where to turn for help or love and I am in a state of depression and trauma. I can not be here any longer. My mental state and fear is now crippling. I can not endure this any more. I can not wait to get out with my kids but then I risk dcfs coming after me and taking my kids for camping.they said yesterday they called on me that evening.what for I do not know what story they will make up at least 30 to 70 percent leave here with out their children or a CPS case.i am overwhelmed with guilt and crippling terror right now. Thank you for giving me a place to vent.
You should follow up with that boss– even though you missed the first meeting that you had scheduled. Tell the boss that you need to file a grievance and that you want those possessions returned. Put your grievance in writing, just like you did here, just for the record and as a back up in case you have trouble saying what you need to say in person. The boss can’t fire this bad manager without getting actual complaints from residents. Even if you have to confront this abuse manager along with the boss, go ahead and stand up for yourself and your family. Are you familiar with Utah’s Affordable Housing Database? That is a resource that should help you find a different place to live. Just to be thorough, see if the legal aid office will help you make a claim against the shelter.
What is the topic about?

My husband and I have been homeless for 1 year and we live in flea bit hotels with cheap weekly rates and get treated terrible by American staff .

The last hotel stole all our stuff. What we had rebuilt back up after fire took all. We have been so violated but not much we can do with nooney for lawyer. These places lmowntbis. We are in desmoines iowa and I pray for a safe place to call here any help would be great.
I was in a shelter for those who have a mental illness 2 different things happened that effected my mental and no one did anything about it. Is there anyone that knows if there is anything I can do
When you ask if there is anything you can do, are you looking to take legal action (such as filing a lawsuit against the shelter) or are you just hoping to get the shelter to improve its practices? You might want to explain the situation to your nearest office of the National Disability Rights Network just to see if they can help you to make a formal complaint. Do you have a peer support agency where you live? Here is the phone number for the mental health peer support warm line where I live. I bet that they will be glad to commiserate with you over the phone. 1-866-661-WARM (9276)
Last year my son’s girlfriend thought she could get out of lease agreement if filled for a no contact order on him when she with no notice moved out of the apartment. At the time my son had issues with holding down a job(had worked for 2 yrs overnight maintenance before getting a job with his dad for UAW. He didn’t acclimate to line work and was ready to go to college. He talked to committee man and at a later time could come back if hiring. His dad went balistic. ) , I helped with utilities ,food and rent so there was no access burden. When I found out the no contact order had been submitted days before she broke the lease agreement I instructed my son not to respond to any form of contact by her,her friends or family. Which there was even an attempt to slander my son to rental property manager to cause his eviction. He expressed to manager what was going on. He eventually was evicted but his grandmother opened her home up. He had a 5 or 6 month crisis accumulating a few traffic violations one being in a vehicle not owned by him but marijuana paraphanalia was found. End of April he was approved for full FAFSA grant first of May was arrested in front of grandmother’s home for leaving an accident when he seen there was no damage. Was his 1st accident. car in front of him slammed on her breaks on a hwy he corrected but did have contact . She was videoing him, so he left..coinsidently had not paid tickets so he did go to jail. That next week property manager (which his grandmother’s mobile home is directly in front of)requires my son “due to recent arrest” and his sister to fill out paperwork for a screening or my mom could be in violation of some rental agreement she was never given for pad her trailer is on in Clay county mo. (My mom and daughter had just returned from Oregon attending to her youngest sister when non B cell Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer had it’s full affects . Then dealt with her will. Had been gone for most in the year)my daughter passed,but had new apartment anyway. my son was served with an eviction and specifically the marijuana paraphanalia and no contact order were questioned then was laughed at by the reality co. associate when he says he’s helping his disabled grandmother .basically references he can’t provide sustainability help with no money and scolds him. I believe property manager violated mo landlord tenant act by providing a bias opinion before submitting a screening application that had rental application as process form. I believe my mom’s person’s with disabilities civil rights were violated at an inappropriate time (the severe depression from recent loss of younger sister ,recent left and right knee cap fractures ,Pace maker implant, Parkinson’s ,stage 4 kidney failure and recent issues with visitation with her youngest granddaughter ,..it’s a travisty that this rental manager knew all of these stacked mental torments,but is a busy body..) I think manager should be fired. I think reality company should be reprimanded for not even considering her request and reasoning to let her grandson live in her home within the guidelines of the equal and fair housing laws. On top of all this my mom’s mobile home she was hoping to soend her final days in is being damaged by the delapitation of the pad . I’m going to assist her in contacting housing authority for this matter.
I could use 500 me and my son are in the street homeless I have no where to go and we hungry and I do work I just lost my place and also have mental illness and still praying God asnwer my prayers.Please help me.
In some cities, there are agencies that provide emergency funds to pay a deposit on a new place, take care of a utility bill that is about to cause someone to lose housing, etc… You might contact 211 in your area (that’s the United Way’s hotline) to ask where you can find financial or tangible assistance.
I am a 66 yr old homeless women, have been for over 8 months. Is my family obligated to House me until Section 8 Housing ( which I applied for over 10 months ago) can be provided! I am also disabled.
While there is a slim possibility that your state’s filial responsibility law may require members of your family to provide you with some degree of support, you will probably get faster and better relief from homelessness at a state or county-run home for seniors and people with disabilities. (I know that 66 is not old, but it is an age at which people are eligible for senior services.)

I need help I am Vic of fraud identity theft cancer and homeless but don’t have the not ok get help 3 great student come from no now were or who do I turn or talk to naomi
My daughter was in a shelter called Wings in Illinois the Employee’s there took her bus tokens so she couldn’t get to work in which this was their requirement for transitioning placement then they turned her phone off and said she went missing finally they threw all of her and her children belongings on the street we have video footage and Now we have harassing phone calls from their shelter and DCFS workers. What can we do to??
Sometimes shelters take valuables, such as phones and bus tokens, just to keep them from being stolen, but in those situations they give the owner enough of the tokens to get to and from work each day. I haven’t heard of them completely preventing shelter residents from having any access to their phones at all. It looks, in your note, like your daughter came up against several strict rules at the shelter, including possibly a curfew rule. The phone calls might be attempts to provide her with information that she needs. If she is too upset to talk to the shelter staff or DCFS, maybe you can take a message and find out what they need to tell her. It is not clear from the things you wrote in this note whether there is a legal issue here– either a claim that she might make against the shelter or one that the shelter might make against her.
Call the police and make a report
I stayed at Sister Rose homeless shelter recently. Unbelievable to see the abuse to helpless homeless men staying there. I witnessed an elderly man be brutally verbalized and a young man age 18 (just released from foster care) be pushed & shoved for having fallen asleep. The worker was abusive to many men. The 18 yr old was thrown out the frontb stairs without his belongings or medicine.
Unreal. When brought to the authorities- the workers lied and made up a story that the man had threatened with a gun. So they could mint take him back after a threat. Not true. How do these things continue and the wrong doer in charge gets protected. There are cameras. This can be proven.
Stay away from a sister Rose.
You are better off camping in the woods
Let Jesus be with you.
Horrible

This needs a lawyer to investigate.

It sounds like you have the perfect skills to get a live-in job doing maintenance at an apartment or condo building. Here is one current ad for a live-in job in Graham, TX. I found it with this search: “live-in” jobs “graham, texas” You might also see if there is an “off-campus housing” office at the college. Sometimes people advertize in those offices hoping to get free household help in exchange for providing free housing. That sort of office might also have ads for households that will rent a room and allow you to share the kitchen.

I have been living in my car for 3mos. I am 72 yrs old. My daughter and son-in-law live one mile from here with my grandchildren in a big house in best neighborhood. Are they obligated to me in any way? We used to be best friends. I am freezong.
The legal phrase for circumstances when adult children can be obligated to care for their parents is “filial responsibility.” Slightly more than half of the U.S. states have filial responsibility laws, but trying to use that law (if your state even has one) can be time consuming. The AARP has a tool to help you find local resources for people in your age group– housing, food, financial assistance… You could also just call 2-1-1 to reach your nearest United Way helpline which will point you to local social services.
Main question should have been about my adult daughter and if she had any obligation to me. I just mentioned that it’s freezing which took the conversation to weather
I couldn’t stand the roaches, the loud , terrible talk parents inflicted on their children, the way the landlord treated me. He wouldn’t evict the drug dealers who were 5 mos behind on rent – they were his dealers – just me missing 1 mo in 6 yrs trying to deal with him. I am a college graduate, have always had good jobs but am now 72 yrs old and retired. I don’t need money.
SO my boyfriend grandmother told him that he either joins the navy or he is homeless and no other family will take him And I don’t think he made it into the navy. And I’m so worried. He can’t live with me cause I’m in college and don’t have a place. I don’t want him to be homeless and he has no faith in getting a job. Like. Is there anyone who could help me and him. I’m just so worried
My land lord took me to court for non payment of rent for 3 months and a water bill. I tried to work out something with her and to inform her that I did pay my rent for the months she was claiming in court. Then on top of that she never said anything to me about any back rent that I “owed”. Then for one of the months she was in non-compliance but I still paid my rent for that month and she also received a portion of a payment from section 8 that goes towards my rent that month. I showed proof that I paid the 2nd month rent she denies me paying that she lied in court and said she didn’t receive payment for that month. The third month that she is said she did not receive payment from me, was half truth. I called and texted her a couple of times to let her know the rent was still at the house. She never came and got it then puff out of no where I get a letter in the mail saying I’m being sued in court by my land lord for non payment of rent. When I say this came out of left field she never not once said anything to me about any back rent I owe her. In fact the last text to her was rent is here if I’m not home it will be in the usual spot. So by me proving all this I’m thing ok this is about to be over, I got called in the back to talk to the Lawyer that was representing my land lord, and he’s asking me what happened and what not. So after discussing my side of the story he says go back out ill call you back in a second. So when I got back he was like she’s willing to let you go and I wont have to owe anything and I have 22 day’s to move. I said no I don’t owe her that money so how is that offer giving me more time to move so my children wont be homeless, that s all I wanted was 90 days and I’m on section 8. So all three of us went in front of the judge. Once her lawyer knew I could prove that I did not owe her that rent, he brings up a whole new balance. Now I owe “5,000 dollars” so now at this time she lied and said I haven’t paid rent start from march. Now mind you she came to court saying I owed rent starting with September. Back in the spring I owed her some back rent so I gave her in the form of money orders to zero out that balance, which is some of the past months she is now seeking (I’m looking for those money order stubs today) and now I found another money order stub for rent for one of those months she is now seeking. So because they sprung that on me of course I could not bring that proof because again the months she is now seeking payment for is not the months she started suing me for. That did not matter she still won. I am on section 8 with 5 children and I grand child I told the judge I can not afford not to pay my rent because my family and I have no where to go. All I was asking for was more than 22 day’s to move and vacate the judgment so I wont loose my voucher. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP I’M RUNNING OUT OF TIME LIKE YESTERDAY
Ask for payment arrangements but always keep a receipt of all payments you make! Also why wait so long to notify you of any moneys that’s owed

You can report the infestation to your local health department. Find your health department through the NACCHO directory. https://www.naccho.org/membership/lhd-directory. Meanwhile, you can ask the person you are talking with at the Health Department whether they run a free clinic or can refer you to someplace where you can get treatment for your itching and inflammation.

Hello,
I’m staying at marjorie Mason Center do they have the right to lock our windows in our room?
Well just mine is locked out of her don’t know how many rooms they have here but just one out of 100 mine is the only one locked?
They might be required by local ordinance or state law to keep the windows locked. It could be a precaution to keep people from coming in without going through the security protocols or it might be a health department rule about keeping out bugs and rodents or it might be a way of controlling the temperature inside. There could be all kinds of legitimate reasons for having windows that don’t open.
I’m going homeless in Illinois bc come to find out my landlord/preacher illegally kicked me out and backed out pocketing 23000 of my hard earned money when he said only wanted 14000 he’s done this to others come to find out and needs to stop.no one should ever b homeless it’s the worst feeling in the world.john Elleson from Chicago Illinois needs to b held accountable for being greedy and theft should not b allowed.he should b ashamed of himself but he just keeps doing it know how these kind of people r my dad finally divorced a theif that just keeps doing it too.they r so fake and they r wolves in sheep’s clothing.the bad things going on this state and people fleeing shouldn’t b going on and starts with people who go to church all the time real people of god don’t lie steal and cheat sucking the life out of everything to get greed for themselves sad situation really disappointed was to trusting but Leo all my receipts in case this would happen.please take down slumlords.god bless,charity
Charity,
If he took your money claiming that he would provide you housing and then kicked you out without formally evicting you and kept the money that was supposed to pay for living there, you should contact the Bluhm Legal Clinics at Northwestern Law School. They provide free help in situations like yours. You might want to speak with the “civil litigation” office of the clinic or you might want to talk with the “mediation” office. Here is the website where you can find all of the information about them. http://www.law.northwestern.edu/legalclinic/about/index.html

I need help with a insurance claim against USAA I had to settle for part of it very low because I am homeless I need directions in the other part of it concerning my wages but I list the job bc I missed too much work
Your local legal aid office should be able to have someone help you through that situation. Here is portal to legal aid offices. If they can’t help you, see if Project H.E.L.P. operates in your area. You might also just search for the phrase insurance law clinic in a search engine to see if there is a law school near you that helps people with insurance negotiations. You can also search for a legal clinic that specializes in the topic related to your particular insurance question: health law, workers comp, personal injury, etc…

Hi. My name is Sue. Unfortunately, he has to want to quit. I live in Southern CA., A much better place to be homeless, but I did have to choose, prison, or program. I did quit for the program. I wanted to pass, & not go to prison. So, I am better, but still occasionally “use”. I don’t steal. But, no matter where he goes, he will follow, wherever. I was homeless for 20+ years. Have home now, on retirement. Stay strong, & all pray he’ll want to quit!

My uncle died 20yrs ago he was homeless I have know prove of his death. But need some kind of documentation before the insurance company will allow me to cash in his life insurance policy. If you have any information on what I can do in this situation I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance Larzetta Wells.
You can have him declared legally dead. To do this, you would file a document titled Petition for Presumption of Death in the probate court for the county where he lived. You might not know exactly where he lived at the very end of his life, but it is okay to use the county probate court where he last had a street address.

You should not be living in the car! Please call Gulf Coast Jewish Family and Community Services and tell them what you posted here and that you need their help to arrange housing. 727-479-1800 I think you should also call the Pinellas Mobile Crisis Response Team 727-362-4424. So many things have been out of whack lately, but they are bound to straighten up again and both of these agencies have professional clinicians available to get you into a comfortable and safe living situation. Please keep in touch with me as you move forward with them. I care what happens to you!

Another world is landlord state of NJ it’s called well repair a deduct. Lol I paid my rent ahead you are a lawyer figure that out!? Know I had that word declaration were it clearly defines another word landlords and hud know very well mold well they don’t care about people and pets like I do!

I lost my service dog God for bid I am disabled and going to school getting my CDL at the young age of 50 years. God for bid we talk about a slumlord in New Jersey also when you have a claims rep. When I said I read the declaration but oh wait I have a mental disability I know. New Jersey is a great state for screw jobs cold hearted people and yes I am angry. This is B. S. Sorry for the truth people don’t like the truth A few Good Man. I am not a poet nor do I want to be, I don’t care about comas I care about my pets and family well that could be a ?

Is it legal to put skunk essence in homeless camps where the campers are using drugs, urinating and crapping on the streets, and are frequently engaged in criminal behavior?
I’m not sure what skunk essence is. But it is illegal to harass the homeless. They are still considered human beings. Sorry if that offends you. There may be other laws broken by putting “skunk essence” to drive away people you don’t like who are in public places.

What can an homeless person die if they come into contact with an store they have been dumpster diving all of a sounden decided to pour bleech and other chemicals on the food they are throwing away is there any way we can protect us and we get any kinda of help
What a mean and hostile thing for a restaurant to do! If a restaurant knows that people search in its dumpster for food and that restaurant is intentionally poisoning its thrown away food and even using chemicals in that process that they know can be harmful when people breathe or touch those chemicals, whether or not they eat the tainted food, it is as if they are attacking the people who go into the dumpster. Now, it’s possible that they happen to just discard cleaning supplies in the same dumpster as their food garbage. But how does this get figured out? It gets figured out in a personal injury lawsuit. Fortunately, these are the kinds of lawsuits in which lawyers do not get paid up-front; they only get paid if they win or settle the case. So, if you know people who have been harmed by bleach or other chemicals that the restaurant put in the same dumpster with food garbage, knowing that people go looking for leftover food in there, those folks might want to start talking with local personal injury lawyers to see if one of their firms will take the case.
