I was a housing advocate of sorts for the past 4-5 years, and had to couch surf for a couple months when I was younger. Can relate a little, though I never had to sleep outside.

Trust me dude, if roommates are even remotely an option, they are your best option hands down. If doesn’t have to be forever. But it beats the hell out of sleeping outdoors or being homeless generally. Even if the “room” you’re renting is technically an attic closet or a basement with rats, or whatever. You start where you are and try to gain stability from there.

Be safe and best wishes.

I appreciate it. I have some prospects.

And I’m not in the worst situation… I have a reliable vehicle and quality sleeping bag.

I should be fine, but I’m just scared.

I’ve interviewed for several rooms over the last months.. Just nothing planned out yet.
