What about churches? Have you sought help from them?

This seems to be a chronic situation for you. I hope that your situation improves. I can't imagine anything worse than being homeless and not understanding the reason. Obviously there is a lot more to this than posted, and that is probably a good thing. My only suggestion is to take a hard look at just what 'put you on the streets' and make efforts to deal with this root cause of you plight.

If you have no skills to offer, why should someone hire you????
I am not saying that you have no skills, I am saying that you must have something to offer society. Find out what that is. Find your talent, make money doing that. And yes, it is THAT easy.

good news, maybe get some referrals, and maybe you can make enough cash to get an apartment, but just fusion cash, even with referrals, might not be enough, try getting a job

Something about this story don't sound right! Hopefully things will change for the better very soon. But you have to really want that change.

I don't know all the details about your situation but sorry to hear about your living circumstances.  Here are a few of my suggestions:

So many times during my childhood I dreamed of running away.  I would've did it had I not been concerned how my sisters would turn out.  At the time my plan was to save up enough for a tent and camp out in a 24/7 park. A tent's better than a bench and you will have shelter from the rain.

Also, you can rent a mini storage shed for about $25 per month, which FC has the potential to bring in. It's not ideal and I wouldn't inform the shed manager that you'd be living there but it certainly beats the alternative until you can get on your feet.

Seek work trading services, like maybe a hotel will let you two stay free in exchange for free work. 

Go to DHS, the community center, and all local churches ASAP to see what emergency assistance you're eligible for.

Finally, come up with a plan.  whether that be to save up to lease/buy a trailer (which I believe is the cheapest form of housing available) or applying for any and every job you can or whatever, come up with a plan to ensure that you are working daily toward your goal of not only getting out of poverty, but staying out of it.

I truly hope this helps, keep us updated!

You may have to look at people who have jobs that might help. seems like you have to know someone to get a job. My son works somewhere and my other son works at mc.d
I think if son #2s needed a job son #1 would be able to help. take something like child care anything for awhile.

      Many people are homeless...and it not their fault! Victims of violence, natural disasters, economic unrest or some other problems. You just have to be prepared for the worst...because there will be times when no one will help you. Always take care of yourself and your loved ones.
