If you are 19 and homeless and can not get a job? What kind of aid are eligible for? I am having trouble finding work and about to be homeless. Am I eligible for unemployment even though I never worked?
I think you're going to have to specify what country you're living in. The laws are different in different places.
Also, I know homelessness sounds like the end of the world, but it isn't. If you think this is a genuine possibility for you and want some advice, just send me an email. I don't particularly want to talk about it in public, though.
I've been looking for a steady job since 2009 (3 years now) and I still can't find shit. I'm living with family in the dining room, and on food stamps just to survive and stay off the street. I can build and repair computers, but can't even land a job at WalMart. I try to make money by fixing computers from home, but nobody has money and they're all flakes. If I advertize like crazy (online, on light poles around my city, in parking lots, holding a big sign, handing out business cards), I can maybe pull in $200 in an entire month. Things are bad.
I've been Homeless alot and I'm only 21. Life goes on. It just sucks. I live in Michigan and asked for help and was denied because my skin is white and have no kids. I've slept at the park when my bf beat me. Lived in my car when I had one. Even stayed in a cock roach infested motel. It's not fun. Keep ur head up
It depends on what country you live in and their laws.
Look up what benefits your country currently provides.
i am sorry to hear that, i am also having trouble finding work, i have been looking for about a year and a half and still nothing. it kinda sucks. as for what you are going through i do believe there are programs that can aid you, i am not to sure which ones but they are there, i hope you find what you are looking for though
If you're in the UK you can apply for council housing and benefits such as jobseekers allowance which will tide you over until you find a sustainable source of income. I'm not sure how long it takes to receive housing but until then you could stay in some homeless shelters / hostels.
From the terms you use it sounds more like you're from the US, though. I don't know enough about the US to confidently give you advice, but surely there is a government or state website providing information in this regard?
