I was talking about this with one formerly homeless person online and he stated that for most people, if you become homeless for six months or so it is practically impossible to get out of it.
That is due to losing or getting stolen all forms of identification, having no home address, no phone number, etc.
You can't do hardly anything to improve your station in America without that stuff. You can't even get benefits a lot of times because where are they going to send it?
Yea exactly, especially what're you going to eat? That's probably going to be your primary concern almost all the time. Where are you going to shower? Lack of sanitation makes you sick. More problems. And where do you sleep? If you have any possessions by the end of the day, it's highly likely you'll get robbed. If I ever become homeless I'd have no idea how to get out of the situation.
