It really does just take a few months with a permanent address in order to get back on your feet. I think the biggest issue when homeless and trying to get back into the work force is not having an address (you can't get a PO Box without a residential address) for job applications/receive mail and not having a place to sleep/shower/keep clothes clean, etc.
If I can ever afford it I would like to start up a home for kicked out LGBT* youth. Just a safe place to go while they figure out the next step.
I talked to a guy once who basically only had enough money to rent out a storage unit with all his stuff in it that he slept in. I helped him find a place that could use his skills as a groundskeeper (or whatever it's called) but after that I'm not sure what happened. I hope that he got a job, but without that address, you're right, it's difficult. And I really do hope that you get that home up and running, because that would really be helpful.

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
