Help Does anyone have any resources for safe places to stay?

[Pisceslilith]

I definitely don't wanna go to a homeless shelter, I just need a place where I now I am safe.

I wish I had an answer for you. I'm sorry life has put you in the situation you're in

Honestly I don't know, I feel like if there was a place like this a lot of people would already be there. I know that airports are a pretty common place and saw a documentary about a guy who lives in an airport. But I think if you look like a stereotypical homeless guy they will kick you out. But you have empty seats to sleep on and open bathrooms to clean up.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you either, I wish I did, but I'm here to listen if you want to talk.

That's actually pretty impressive advice. I would not have thought of that.

When I was homeless I stayed in my car in a Walmart parking lot (US) or a truck stop. there were cameras and it was open 24 hours. Sadly Walmart is no longer open 24 hours because of corona virus but the truck stops are still open and have showers. I'm not sure if this helps any but it's how I got back in my feet when I was homeless.

YMCA or Salvation Army, the local council office may be able to provide emergency housing. Friends/family. As someone else said airport's aren't weird places to sleep, people sleep between flights etc. Sorry I haven't got any better advice lovely.

I don't know where in the world you are, but maybe try asking someone who works at the library if they know of anywhere. If they don't know off the top of their heads than they might at least have the resources available in order to help you work something out.

I actually probably wouldn't recommend the Salvation Army as they are pretty ruthless and often kick people out without warning while confiscating all of their things and not giving them back. They aren't as charitable of an organization as they make themselves out to be. Sorry, not trying to undercut you, all your other recommendations are good I just have a bit of beef with the Salvation Army.

I hope you stay safe.

How is that legal? They basically steal all your stuff?

They're a religious organization so they can pretty much get away with anything with the pretense of doing it over "religious freedom."

Can confirm. The SA in Boston is a fucking nightmare, they treat you like shit so you won't want to stay there and they won't have to deal with you. And if you don't agree to religious counseling you get blacklisted. I was only homeless there for three weeks, but it was far preferable to sleep in a bush.
