Re: how to survive as a homeless person.
don't live in ND, SD, or MN.... of course if you really did live in certain areas of ND or SD you could easily scrounge up enough money to buy a clean pair of pants, shirt, underwear, razor, etc.

Guaranteed in 2 weeks a person could get enough money by begging to even rent a basement apartment for a month, and get a job.

I wouldn't try now though, it's cold out. Not just a little cold in these states, life threateningly cold.

Re: how to survive as a homeless person.
Dumpster diving can be lucrative if you know where to look. Some people even do it as a full time job. Keep your eye on Craigslist for free stuff that people just want rid of. When poking around in dumpsters, save all metals and take them to your local scrap yard. Copper, iron and aluminum can be a nice source of income. You will need an ID though.

Re: how to survive as a homeless person.
if you really want help, OP.. move to eastern SD... there are more then enough jobs available in this area of the country, unlike many other parts.

It would be easy to gather up enough money to clean oneself up and get a job interview somewhere. There are places in my town hiring pretty much off the street.

If you really are homeless, then spent that extra time looking around your local area.

Clothing bins are of particular use at this time of the year in the Northen Hemisphere.

wow, sorry I can't help, but you might try the book "Homelessness for Dummies" or "The Idiots Guide to Homelessness".

Re: how to survive as a homeless person.
first move to a warmer place. Even bugs know that life
is better in the south.

Then find a church that can
help you. Many will.

Re: how to survive as a homeless person.
get a bank and a PO box for food stamps and food stamp cards and other vital gov data ..and and a storage shed real close together ( ( and on the same bus line)). find soup kitches and human resource offces on bus line.. get relatives to pay unlimted cell phone and storage shed cost. set up that shed like a living room and supplied with toiltries foods meds cot blankets foods water to run in thier for naps and clean ups and clothing changes and lunch dinner .....and keep copies of vital documents there , to get new DL if you are robbed ...use a resettable 4 diget master lock combination lock cause That way,from ace hardware , that way you shed key will NOT get ripped off in a robbery on the streets . pre plan your homelessness experiance to set it up for real good survival. keep quiet on the street about your shed .and its supplies .put it in families name if need be.. tipping the worker at the storage shed might let you live there in that shed .... .
