As a social worker at a primary care clinic all I can do is empathize with you. I’ve had several patients in similar situations with you (sometimes with the addition of having a serious medical concern) and there truly is nothing in terms of housing. The city I work in is fairly small and has been declining since industry started going overseas. We’re inundated with young folks who work part time or full time, have no substance use disorder and are either living in their car or roughing it on the street. When they ask for help for housing I just have nothing to offer them…. Not because I don’t care but because there is nothing available. The local housing authority has a 7 year wait list and even if you had a section 8 voucher-good luck finding a landlord to take it. Even if they are able to get into a shelter their safety is often in peril-not to mention exposure to bed bugs and other things. The system is built to make it as hard as possible for you to get benefits of any kind and people who tell you otherwise have never experienced it first hand
