Well, I'm homeless. In fact, living on the streets. (Friends are mostly college kids with leases that don't allow overnight guests or locals that live miles outside the city.) I'm looking for a place to go but it isn't easy to find housing in Boston on a very low (SSDI disability low) budget.
So, I'm asking for advice about how to survive and make the most of this? Please let me know about any feasible (real, non-theoretical) ways to get off the streets.
My experience has been that all homeless shelters are full. Trying to get a bed is usually not worth the effort since my medical conditions are triggered and worsened in the process. I have no kids so apparently there is no emergency housing. I'm just stuck carrying bags around, trying to find a place to sleep where the police won't bother me.
Advice is more than welcome! But only true advice. There are a lot of "myths" about help that either isn't really available or is nearly impossible to get with odds similar to winning a lottery.
