He is not diagnosed but looking back at life I can see that at a young age he would have gotten an IEP/been diagnosed with ADHD/anxiety etc. we just found out he was too embarrassed to discuss situation—living in his car for the past few months. Job part-time no benefits. Fairfax County. He has no degree.
It’s very stressful and sad for him. |

| I just don’t even know where to begin to help? If I give $$ it will just buy time but no progress at stabilization. |

| Call 211 to get an overview of what social service resources might be available for him. |

Maybe NAMI for resources?
Or the county. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/homeless/M Op I e been in your shoes for the past 18 months. It’s heart destroying. I will say you can help but you can’t be a full service social service agency. They need to also be willing to get help Also can he apply for SNAP? |
