Homeless with no money for apartment. What should I do?

- Start date
When i was homeless it made me realize how easy it is for black people to become homeless.
Alot of people dont want to open up their place for you to stay...
you get more of a negative stigma than you already have
many places are adamant about hiring black folk....
i was thankful for the people who did though.
Ive never been more grateful to have food on my table a warm bed and a roof over my head.
I remember during the blizzard last year i slept in my car.
i had to drive around before sleeping to heat up the car so i wouldnt freeze to death.
id wake up and my windows were so fogged and iced up i didnt attract attention to myself.
Cops passed my me where i was sleeping and gave me food.
I would hang out at parties and at the club to bide time
i stayed hanging out at burger king on myrtle and knickerbocker.
It was rough but i made the most out of it.
Made music and mixes while homeless too.
and i blogged on tumblr the whole time.
It was so mentally and physically taxing
i fell to drug abuse to deal with the pain and frustration of being homeless.
i hustled my ass off to get to the point i am at now...

He's out of shape and apparently an ex con...
So military might be out of the question.
Like I said... Extended stays, church, or Job Corp.
If I was him I'd walk to work just to lose weight then try out for military (Army/Marines might take him depending on the crime)
I was 410 pounds at my heaviest. Actually down over 160 and I kinda got stuck. I'm not really fat I just have a sloppy body because I was so fat before. I like to think that if I cut down below 10% the loose skin will shrink toO which is why I call myself fat.
Pretty athletic wouldn't have a problem joining the military but I don't think they'll touch me. Hopefully grubhub works out

Depends on your case. They do waivers for nikkas all the time...
Navy, Coast Guard, Airfoce might not touch you at all... Maybe navy if they were desperate

Rent a storage unit and sleep there at night. It gots to be cheaper than a hotel... And better than outside
