The ONLY exception is certain counties in South Carolina, where you have to take a government job if it is offered to you, in addition to or in lieu of food stamps. But that is actually a good thing, isn't it? The counties include Greenville, Richland and Charleston. As I understand it, you say you are not eligible for food stamps because you are getting unemployment compensation. Is that right? My next question would be: then why are you homeless if you are getting unemployment compensation? I don't get it. If you can't afford rent in Dallas, get out of there and go to some rural county and get you a trailer. You can apply for emergency food stamps if you are homeless and without funds, and get the SNAP card within a week. Best of luck to you, my friend. I have been homeless and know how terrible it feels. [/quote] [b]READ the beginning of the thread!!!!! If you did, you would have known that OP left Texas at the very beginning of the thread!!!

Original Message
So as of today I am officially homeless.
I won't bore you all with long sob stories.
About a year ago lost my job of twelve years, couldn't find new work, made some bad financial choices, and today I sit in the public library on my old laptop typing away as all my posessions lay in three small suitcases very close to where I am sitting.
I think this might possibly be the worst place to be homless, given the horrible heat.
So I have seventy-five cents to my name, am not sure where I'll be putting my head down to sleep tonight, and was wondering if anyone else out there has been in a similar prediciment.
I'll update my story here as I can. Maybe a few people will find it interesting.
