Where should a homeless person go in Springfield? (house, place to live)

[Nothanks93]

So I will probably be getting kicked out of my house soon, mom has threatened it multiple times. One of these times she'll probably mean it and I want to be prepared. I won't answer any comments on my home life; I don't want to hear them.

I can't drive, I don't have an id, I don't have money, I have no friends.

What are my options.

Any shelters where you live that you could go to until you get better situated? If not, can you get ahold of a tent, sleeping bag and backpack?

First thing, you should do is go to One door. They help with getting you a place to live, and sign you up for all these different programs in town.

But you need to find a way to get an ID, so you can get a job. That way you can save some money, for either a car or a place to live.

You gave a good answer, but the OP seems to have posted once and departed.

They did not fill out their profile, they didn't say why they can't drive, nor why they don't have an ID.
For that matter, they don't say whether they are 13, 23, or 33 years old.

This happens, from time to time, leaving us to guess what their true motive for posting was.
This person does check back, every few days, so there is the possibility they will fill in some details.
(The forum software records when they click on any topic on the forum, so they could be reading some other part of the forum.)

Thank you. I am homeless myself, that's how I know about One door. My mom and I have jobs and she's disabled as well. We are also very close to getting a voucher.

I think that is disrespectful to ask a question and run off, because by doing that they are wasting other people's time. When we are only trying to help. I thought it was a little weird they don't have an ID.

I am guessing a teenager, and at his mom's wits end, or with a mom who's mental health is spotty.


Not necessarily the OP, but a lot of teenagers think they can excel, as soon as they get out on their own. How they can expect to make it on the outside, when being coddled by their mother is too hard, is beyond me. Then again, I was a teenager, once ...

I would agree, but I think parents nowadays aren't doing a good enough job raising kids. I mean, if I acted how some of these kids act... My butt would be spanked.

They do, and have you seen the ones at these jobs they do a half ass job. Same of them anyway. But it all comes back to how they were raised.

There were a lot of things we did better in 1950.
