Does anybody have any ideas to find a safe place to live? I have lived out of my car, shelters, friends and now back to my car. I need help. I cant find a job and have tried every avenue to obtain a job. I am a christian woman and need help.

Peggy, unfortunately I know exactly where you are coming from. I was homeless in New Jersey for about three years. I lived in shelters, other people's homes, my car, my boyfriend's car, etc. It does not get easier. I thought that I would one day die in the streets with no income and no place to stay. I will tell you that I now have a place to stay and a job and I'm getting my life together. Unfortunately I had to move out of NJ to start the process. I have two children (8 and 4) that I had to leave with their dad during this whole process. It is depressing, but I would not be able to see them anyway the way I was living. Maybe you should consider relocating? There are states that will help homeless people...and it's not like you have an address for them to use because you technically don't live anywhere. Keep me posted!

Networking for the homeless. Does anybody have current information for homeless people to get a place to stay? How do you get section 8? How do you apply MSHDA? What people do you talk to for help instead of "Passing the Buck"
