Homeless for 10 years, Need Access to Housing

Please help me. A decade is too long, and there is no end in sight. I can no longer continue to live unhoused. My career plan is described on my patreon if you wish to donate that way it also helps tremendously, but also hinges on me having a place to live.

I want to work, I need a home to work from. I want to contribute to society as an artist, filmmaker, programmer, and writer, I need society to contribute a home to me first so I can live in a home like a normal person, and not on the sidewalk, not in my vehicle, not under a bridge, not in an abandoned building, not in an office, not where its -15 degrees outside and i live outside, and especially not someone else's house where i'm constantly under threat of being kicked out. I need access to permanent stable housing. I went to my family for help, I gave them every opportunity to do the right thing, and they threw the fact that I 'am homeless' in my face.

The only thing that is going to help in this situation is having a home. I know what work is, I've been to work before, I plan on returning to work, however, no amount of work, performed by me, in this situation, is going to solve the problem of homelessness, for me. I need access to permanent stable housing.

I can't live this way. I haven't been alive the past decade. I have no home. Living on the streets, I've learned to stop saying, "Well at least it can't get any worse" because it always has. Now I'm getting kicked out of the park. This is a traumatic experience that I would not wish on my worst enemy, and I need this chapter of my life to come to a close, for me to move on and heal and be able to do something with my life.

I need this funding to show up in the next 5 months, by July 2024, because I do not have any other option passed then.

I know that the expectation is for everyone to make every single cent all on their own starting with nothing and with no help, I am sorry, I seem unable to perform under those conditions, having tried it.

How we got here:

There are a number of factors, my mom left when I was born, causing my dad to sell our home. So I have never had a home to go back to. We've always been poor, but this is something different.

Ten years ago. 2nd year college student. Laptop upgrade. So one month, while I was in school and working 35 hrs/week, I was faced with a choice, I had to decide between paying rent, or upgrading my laptop. I went with the laptop, and I have NEVER been able to recover from that decision because there is no safety net.

Maybe I should have asked for help then. The truth is, I don't really want to be asking for help at all. I tried everything you're supposed to do on your own to avoid this. I tried figuring this out on my own without asking. I'm sorry & it is embarrassing sharing these details, I would've liked to remain anonymous but I am choosing identity over anonymity. I am this person, this is happening to me, I'm the one that needs help in this moment.

Where we're going:

My plan for use of the funds is very simple,

I know this is a big ask, but I have never asked, myself, for me, for what I actually need to get through this. I have always been afraid to. Its really not a lot for what I've been through. I'm not even asking for help to get out of poverty, only extreme poverty.
