I have no job, no money and I suffer from several chronic health issues that I take medications for. Women's shelters only keep you for about a month and expect you to be able to find a job, ASAP, clean, cook, etc or get kicked out. I have no living/non-abusive family, all of my friends are either financially stressed with full homes already, or battling addictions that I’ve gotten a hold of. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that homelessness is my only option other than staying until he kills me. I remember seeing on TV about a year ago that Palo Alto, Calif. had become a haven for the homeless in America. Its weather is mild and groups come around to give street people food/water/toiletries on occasion. It was also considered safer for homeless women. Does anyone know if this is still true? Also does anyone know if there are other places in the US that are similar where life on the streets would be less harsh perhaps? I can get a bus ticket from the Salvation Army.
