I wasn't far from being homeless after college either. I was living in a trailer with no heat, no hot water, and a hole in the wall big enough for stray cats to come in. And New York winters are very harsh!

Colorado is bad too. I'm lucky to live with my mom but unlucky because she threatens to kick me out at any given time. If she is in a mood I could lose everything in a blink of an eye.

I live with my partner. We've been living together for 11 years, and it's still going good. But it is scary to think that I have nothing that's actually mine. If anything happened to him, I would be even worse off than I was in that trailer.

I totally get that. It is that thought, that I can't support myself, that makes me go "get me the fuck out of here!"

Oh my, I am sorry to hear that, both your situations sound difficult!
This sounds like there is no financial support for the less lucky ones in the US?

There is some financial support. But it's kind of confusing, and there is a lot of paperwork, and a lot of hoops to jump through, and you often have to go somewhere in person and wait in line all day just to hope to be seen, and I never learned to drive, and a lot of people get declined, and some people are embarrassed to ask for it... Or, at least that's how it used to be. So a lot of the people who needed it the most didn't get it...

Unless financial support is willing to pay for housing there is little help to be had you know?

What I really need right now is health care. I tried to sign up on the government website, but it said I would have to pay at least $300 a month, and I had to pay $10,000 before it would kick in, and it hardly covered anything at all... It didn't cover so much that I honestly can't imagine what it would cover...
