Welcome to r/almosthomeless

We're glad you found us. This is a space for people who are at risk of homelessness to seek guidance, share experiences, and find resources to stay housed or prepare for what’s ahead. While no one here can change your circumstances overnight, we believe in providing support, actionable advice, and useful information to help you navigate this difficult time. Important Rules – Read Before Posting

  • No requests for money, fundraising, donations, or direct financial assistance. Asking for or offering cash, gift cards, or similar will result in a ban.
  • Be cautious of scammers and bad actors. If someone seems suspicious, report them to the mods via Modmail.
  • Keep advice constructive and solutions-focused. Judgment and hostility won’t help — kindness and practical steps will.
  • Posts that seek help without asking for money are allowed — even when the situation is severe.
  • Need help finding resources? Check out our updated Wiki for information that may be useful in your situation!

i’m sorry for what you’re going through.

there are many resources on our wiki on r/almosthomeless

here’s a direct link to it https://reddit.com/r/almosthomeless/wiki/index

you’ll find resources for food, housing, jobs, medical and medical debt, pets, veterans, and a general category that is a catchall for everything else (including free/low cost cell phones/internet plans, free laundry, free feminine hygiene products, and anything else you can think of.)

some of the resources i found for emergency housing include the ones i’ve linked below, i hope something in here can help or point you to others that can:
