I'm not trying to be funny or trolling, but I really might be homeless in the next 2 weeks as I prepare to move to San Diego for my a co-op program . I'm spending my savings on the moving process and saving the rest for the deposit. I'll have housing in mid July, though. Any tips, tricks, and pointers? I already have a gym membership.

Do you have enough money get a long term Airbnb or at least stay in a motel?

How old are you? It might not be too late to join the service. It's what I did when I was homeless

Nah. Saving that money for the deposit. Need 4k deposit for the studio I found.
Sleeping in your car for 2 weeks wouldn't be the end of the world. I saw some people use couchsurfing.com to stay with strangers while they travel. I don't know if I'd trust that but if your back is up against the wall maybe

Never been homeless so my advice may be useless but I have friends who have been. Honestly if you are an able body, work really fukking hard. Tell nobody your situation because people perceive you differently and unfairly, try to work 2 jobs, as the jobs will not only pay but serve as makeshift shelter. Grind for 2 months and then see if you can get a whip if you don't have one, then build up from there.

My friends who went homeless only did because they weren't willing to put in the work, even being in the streets trying to sell product you still gotta put in legwork.

Now if you aren't an able body, you'll have to rely on government resources, that I know nothing about.

Edit: I just realized you said youll have housing in mid july

I'd just say try to find a way to sleep in a car instead of the street, find a decent spot
