Thanks man. I know Boston fairly well but i know nothing of the squatting or punk scenes at all. Like you said hopefully someone on here is knowledgable of the Boston area.

hey - it's a bitch right now in boston with the nasty weather --- keep an eye on some shelters to stay alive. We are having quite an issue here in rochester ny but you guys just keep getting hit and hit and hit ...

im sorry for yer situation, but being that you have just signed up i feel sketchy giving you squat info because it screams cop to me. check shelters, i hope you have warm clothes bostons a hell of a place to be stranded right now.

I know thats a huge issue right now in boston because the T isnt even running half the time and its a bitch to even get around in all this snow. If I had any money id buy a plane ticket somewhere south but i don't at the moment. I might end up just taking some benzos and go into a detox to get to a TSS to wait out the winter. Either way things aren't looking too good.

I think the detox route may be a decent idea especially if you have addiction problems that lead to this new found homelessness. I wish I found treatment sooner!

check out youth on fire, it's a drop in center in cambridge, I see from your info you're young enough to go in. they can help you with warm gear and you can meet other homeless kids who can potentially show you a spot to stay. also they have food and toiletries/medical supplies and you can hang out in there during the week when they're open and stay warm. they're closed on weekends so you gotta wait until monday but here's a link to their facebook https://www.facebook.com/YouthOnFireMA

hope this helps.

I've actually been on the suboxone clinic for almost a year now so I've been clean from everything except a little pot. I was living at home with my parents and when i got fired from my job I got kicked to the streets. I was only thinking about detox because they send you to a tss for up to 6 months so you get 3 squares a day, a hot shower, and a warm bed.

I actually went to a treatment center for 6 months up in Alpine once just to avoid the streets. I actually didn't have a drug addiction but it was my way of working the system. I had a blast and was on good terms till I got into transitional housing. Good advice!
