homeless

Howdy folks. I used to come here years ago and I am facing a high probability of being on the road again. Did the "normal" life for years, then got a great writing gig, but a corporate buyout happened and now I got nothin'. I used to be a road hippie in the early 90s, but the world has changed a...

Bad news for homeless camps in California.

City of Grants Pass v Johnson Camping Ban (Laymen's Article) Huge loss of rights and safety for us houseless folks today. Of course, Grants Pass... This is probably going to set a precedent for the nation. Spread the word and stay safe out there, everybody.

2022 zine on mobilizing support for homeless individuals during cold weather. Includes a step by step on how to organize.

I made the title in the hope it would be respected and not criticized but this is an awkward subject for me so all input is embraced. Right now, and for the past 8 months, I have been housed and working at a non-profit helping folks get free bicycles. On several occasions, folks come in and at...

When things are going well, people humbly enjoy their lives. When things get shitty, people quietly look out for each other. I think there’s something admirable in that. I can’t explain my whole life obviously. I got into this position due to a complex set of mistakes and misfortunes. I take...

When Rebecca Twigg was 7, she rode a bike for the first time. There were no training wheels, but Twigg took off like she’d done it in a previous life. She fell only when she realized she didn’t know how to stop, and steered into a wall. “I took to the road like I was born to do it,” Twigg says...

The audio from the 911 call (Err not the 911 call but rather the dispatch radio communications. I edited out the dead air in between. So this is actually 3 separate broadcasts over the course of about 18 minutes condensed down into like 20 seconds) On 9/24/2021 I was sitting out in front of the...

Ive been traveling around about 4 years through NC TN and Ohio and havent found anything too worthy of sticking around for. I was wondering which states any of you would recommend that would have good jobs and resources for the homeless. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had a camp in a small lagoon I came to call the swamp. Although I've never been completely homeless I stayed with my aunt on her couch and had an address but I spent most of my time camped out with the homeless The people of the community also frequented the lagoon they had one of the few...

I just wanted to give my two cents on a men's homeless shelter in Kansas City, Missouri. It's called Shelter KC and it's at 1502 Cherry St. Overall it's a decent place to stay, but beware. They like to peach the gospel a lot. In fact, you have to sit through chapel after dinner. It's mandatory...

Recently I've been struggling with finding places to live or even squat. I've been sleeping on the benches of Tompkins Square Park (LES manhattan) and I'd really like to know how I can find places in NYC to squat or where I can find experienced people here who know about this stuff. Also im...

Hey everyone! I've been homeless in the US (mainly on the east coast) since 2009, and hitchhiking is my primary mode of travel full time. I work seasonally in constructions and carpentry, but my biggest passions are folk music (I play the balalaika) and exploring new places with my animal...

Dog got skunked. Then ran right into my sleeping bag. It was hell. Puppers got the skunk smell all over everything. I really stank, made it hard to even go into a store. Was great for flying signs tho. But anyways yeah I vinegared the dog then dusted doggo with baking soda, then rinsed. After a...

I found this article while lost in some internet rabbit hole during the summer. I saved it as I thought it was very good, and I was worried the site it was on would go offline, as it looked like it hadn't been updated in years. I think it will be of interest to a lot of people on this site. I've...

My long distance boyfriend is coming in town on Friday. Got 5 days to try and plan on how to be with him for 1 night together. He can't stay with me at my place, due to personal reasons/cuz of my roommate not liking him. We are both broke till end of the month, I can't even afford a motel room...

I have about $550 to spend, and I'd like to open a homeless shelter in Bellevue to house about 5-10 people. I think I may be able to keep it open for two months on this budget, but there could be donations to do so with popularity. I plan to obtain permission from a storage facility, then...

Not long ago, on Dec. 30th 2019 I decided to bail out of the current living conditions I was under in south central ohio with no plan whatsoever except the experience of the past encoded in my bones. With all my trash packed tight in one bag, I hitched a ride from the sticks to a Microtel...

Wrote this one back when I was streeting it in oakland, year out of a fifteen year relationship. Sleeping in round metal containers works wonders on your spine. Was just settling into my new spot last night when 6-7 shots rang out, sounding something like 100 yards away. *DAT DAT DAT DAT DAT...

Hey, fellas and felletes! I've had this account for around a month now. I downloaded it when my friend told me about it before I was kicked out. All of you really and truly helped me out. I learned how to find under the table jobs, how to find free food and a few scamming tricks. I really am...

Prank call to Wendy's. So damn funny.

Back in late october of 2015, I got evicted from my apartment in Michigan and was again looking at the prospect of being homeless (again) in my hometown. I had some leftover money so I got a hotel for a night and bought some smokes and thought about what my next plan of action was. Do I really...

I'm not condoning it but I have tried it. Watched some very good people deteriorate. It keeps you awake and kills the feeling of hunger which are Two of the biggest problems homeless people deal with. I'm sure I'll get hate for this but I'm just saying I get it that's all.

Hey Ya'll! First off. I'm so glad this website exists. Thank you so much to those who put it together and keep it running. This was an awesome resource for my partner and I two years ago when we hitchhiked and walked the Appalachian trail for a bit, now we're going to be hitting the road again...

I'm sorry and I apologize. For chasing you from sniping cigarettes in front of my hotel. It disturbs guests, but the more I think about it, I don't blame you and don't want to be a hypocrite. For chasing you away from dumpster diving, when I in fact support it politically. Was just trying to do...
