I think we need to reframe the problem.
It shouldn't be how to find work while homeless, it should be how to find shelter while jobless.
Finding work _while_ homeless is akin to getting married with a cut femoral artery. Can be done, but the odds of success of the former are improved if we stop the bleeding.
I think changing the amenities situation should be top priority. That should be the objective. How can you get shelter, especially during the night, in an affordable manner for your current situation?
- Shelters
- Working at jobs that require an extended presence on site where it's more practical to live there than commute: boats, hospitality (hostels), buildings (concierge), assisting a limited mobility or elderly person (stay at home or retirement home), night security (you stay there in the night, which is more dangerous, and try to find another job during the day. Naps during the day in a park are less dangerous).
Can I send money to get you in a hostel for a few days just to bootstrap the thing?
