[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is her problem, not yours. She is trying to avoid having to overlap rent payments. As someone who WAS homeless, nobody who would ever "have to go to a shelter" would EVER casually drop that in conversation to their boss. It is humiliating and terrifying. She is trying to get you to swoop in and save the day.

She needs to keep her old apartment until she's ready to move into the new one. That's her problem. Don't get sucked into her drama. [/quote]

I agree with this. I was homeless before and I never did that either. I found it very easy to find people that I could stay with, couch surfing for even a night here and there with someone. You said she does have family nearby, and I am sure she would end up asking them before having to try to stay in a shelter. The fact is that most shelters are already full and it would take you up to a week or 2 to get in to them anyways. Most people that I knew that were homeless, didn't want to stay in them either unless it was a rainy season or really cold. Shelters are not hotel rooms. You have to go in early, there is nothing to do, you can get your stuff stolen, and you get kicked out early in the morning. If you don't come back the next night, you usually can't get back in again, they don't save a spot for you if you wanted to go out and do something one night. We would save money and go rent motel rooms and share them with 4-8 people as it was preferred to anything else.[/quote]
