Well, You are in a difficult situation. One that no one envy's I'm sure.

I have been homeless twice in my live and it is no fun. Although it was a short period outdoors, I lived in a Motel for a few months until I gathered enough money together to get a subsidized apartment for DW and the kids.

The best thing your husband can do is look for work. I took anything because I wanted off the street and out of the Motel. I know this is difficult but have you tried any assistance? The Salvation Army helps folks in a big way by giving them shelter, food and help with getting jobs. They have rules there, no drinking, no smoking and a curfew for those not working. Classes are to be attended, for live skills, etc. It is not the best but, it is a place of your own for 3-6 months depending on circumstances.

I encourage you to look for work, anything beats a blank, at the end of the week.

You have a tough situation, but you can overcome. Good luck in the future.
