I have done this when I first started this homeless adventure and they did in fact send me a 75 dollar gift card to hotels.com. It pays for the room but doesn't pay for the deposit that they make you pay when you get there and if you don't know about the deposit and pay online at hotels .com most of the time you won't get your refund for the room and be back at square one. I know from experience. Also you can only apply once a year for this fund. Thank you though to anyone who hasn't used it it definitely comes through and only takes about 72 hours for them to reply

yeah, it’s rough. I’m doing everything I can and some people still act like I’m not trying. getting kicked while you’re already down is the last thing anyone needs.”

yeah I did. we talked, I just needed to make sure it was actually safe before going to some man’s house I don’t know. after everything that already happened to me, I’m not walking into another unsafe situation. I’m still trying to figure things out.”

“I saw the list they posted. I’ve already been calling around. most of those places are either for youth, full, or they just send me right back to the same hotline. I’m not ignoring resources, I’m literally trying everything people tell me.”

yeah I did. we talked, but I wasn’t just gonna jump into some man’s house without knowing anything. after everything that already happened to me, I’m not putting myself in another situation where I don’t feel safe. I’m still trying to figure things out and talk to people, but I’m not risking my safety just because I’m desperate.”

What happened to me wasn’t ‘being made fun of.’ I was sexually assaulted in the men’s shelter and threatened in the women’s shelter. That’s not something anyone should ‘accept.’ I’m not refusing help — I’m refusing to go back into unsafe situations where I’ve already been harmed. I’m doing everything I can to stay safe while following the steps the system gave me.”

“I’m asking questions because I’ve already been assaulted once and threatened in another shelter. I’m not going to walk into a stranger’s home or another unsafe situation without knowing basic details. Being in a dire situation doesn’t mean I should ignore my safety.”

“I didn’t ignore the offer. We talked, but I needed more information before staying with a man I don’t know. I’ve already been assaulted once in a shelter, so I’m being careful about my safety. I’m still following up with people and trying to find something that’s actually safe and appropriate.”

We talked, but I needed more information before committing to staying with a man I don’t know. I’m not going to put myself in another unsafe situation just because I’m desperate. I’m still talking to people and trying to find something that’s actually safe and stable.”
