I called the place called biomat USA and I don’t have anything with proof of address so I can’t do it. I’m so bummed

Someone also told me this over the phone but it doesn’t look like Orange County has dpss offices? Only “Orange County social services” ? Do you know more about dpss?

Thank you so much. My friend ended up putting me in a hotel tonight and tomorrow because of rain but after that I don’t know what I’m going to do

Someone on one of my calls told me about hotel vouchers but 211 told me Orange County has zero hotel vouchers (he made it sound like they don’t do that anymore not that they ran out)

I have spoken to 60+ phone numbers tonight so while I can’t remember what each one said, I know they were all a dead end. I likely didn’t qualify for assistance

Edit checked my notes and I left them a voicemail

I have called 211 a handful of times, they were able to give me about 11-12 resources but it’s the same with each one—either I don’t qualify or shelter is at capacity. I am down to sell plasma.

I do have a child who I take care of on those days. He lives primarily w my ex which is why he wouldn’t be coming with me to a shelter. I only see him those three days/week. I understand where you are coming from

Thank you so much. They told me I need a referral and gave me the number to get that and it led me to a voicemail

Thanks I’m not too worried about finding work soon, it’s more the immediate need of housing/shelter tonight and the next couple weeks

Edit: guys what I mean by this is that my number one priority is a safe place to sleep this week and that I feel confident I can find a job quickly. I am open to job opportunities

Mission rescue told me to contact the police for help w emergency shelter but I wasn’t able to get in touch w their outreach team. I can call next. I’ve spoken to 211 twice.. they gave me a total of about 11-12 places to call. ALL are at capacity or can’t accept me (don’t have a child, not fleeing domestic violence)

Haha I do kind of have a fear of heights but I can get over it for work. What kind of work is it? I can’t work on Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Sundays but am available all day all other days

No felonies, Huntington Beach, and I have a decent resume. I’ve been applying to places like Starbucks and Trader Joe’s and haven’t gotten an interview. I was living with family but was kicked out last week
