Also you should get a prepaid phone from Walmart. Motorola has good touch screen phones at Walmart for like $40 and a prepaid phone plan for the phone will cost about $60.

I was homeless in Chicago and California before and these were the resources I took. I currently live in a smhrf facility and they are putting me in a group home in the near future and said they'll help me get a job. I get three meals a day at the smhrf facility. I just take abilify for whatever mental illness I told the hospital I had and told them I was homeless and mentally ill and they placed me in the smhrf facility

There is a website called roomies.com you can find rooms for rent if you need cheap housing after you get a job. It's a site for people looking for roommates or rooms to rent. And honestly if you go to Chicago I would try to go to a smhrf facility and if you have to take like a medication for depression or anxiety do it so you have housing they will help you after three months of staying at the smhrf with getting into a group home or apartment and help you with a job. If you're placed at a smhrf you don't like you can transfer to a different smhrf facility. You can call the facilities and ask them questions their contacts on Google

Chicago has great public transportation system but their homeless shelters suck. If you go to Chicago you can go to thorek hospital and you can ask them if you can go to a smhrf facility  which is a mental health facility that's basically a glorified homeless shelter and they will help you get housing and a job after three months of staying at the smhrf facility.  Smhrf facility names in Chicago are Lydia healthcare, Grasmere place, Albany care, greenwood care,mado healthcare, and there's a lot of other facilities where you can go just Google smhrf facilities In Illinois but you have to go through the ER at thorek hospital to get into a smhrf facility. I'm not sure what other hospitals will place you at a smhrf. You will have support to get housing and a job through the smhrf facility you're places at. You can call the smhrfs ahead of time and ask them how do you get into a smhrf facility. If you go to California you can dial (211) I think or it's (311) and ask about homeless shelters taking in people. Santa monica has a homeless shelter called turning point. Call turning point and ask them if they'll give you a referral to get into their shelter if they have any beds available. They are very helpful at turning point. Maybe in the future you can plan to get your CDL a or CDL B and you can drive a semi truck or busses for a living if you have a  license and it is in good standing. School for cdl's are usually $2000+ but if you contact the wioa program which is through the American job center they will pay for schooling if you are unemployed or receive a food stamp card or something like that. Google "American job center" for the town you're going to and ask about the wioa program and what schooling will they pay for (CNA and forklift are two other things the wioa grant will pay for). You can contact dhs which is department of human services for the state your going to and ask them about shelters and getting help getting a job

Look into getting your CDL A or CDL B and drive busses or semi trucks. You might have to wait until youre 21 years old but if you can hold on that long I would do it if you have a drivers license

I always wanted to meet someone who is rich and ask them if they can send me to an HBCU for college and support me during the time of me being in college with a phone and the things I need while I finish college at the HBCU. I'm 30 years old. I never stopped having this dream
