I am 34 yrs old and me and my partner have split up after 4yrs we have a son together. And now i am forced to live on the street my ex partner is trying her best to find me some where to live as i can not live with her but has not had much joy. I have asked my friends and cannot ask family as they died over the yrs. I am a professonal decorator but not working at the moment. need someone who will except someone on dss.If there is any 1 with a kind heart who has a room in manchester for me to stay. Please can you leave me a message! I have tried homeless but they said that they cant help me, and salvation army said can only put me up for 1 night. I used to look at people who were on the street and think that they should go homeless if no where to go but now i know its not as easy to get in the homeless as they can still refuse you.

Pawn your computer, go to a motel and get a plan!! There are homeless shelters all over the place, and they will take you in. I am sure that you have family, friends or someone that will help. The problem is that you are petitioning for help over the internet---where predators and murderers have been caught by---this is not the place to be searching for "help" as most people here are looking at your question as a joke and waste of time. If you really are in need, you are wasting your time in sitting here on the internet, when you should be out trying to do something. If you are not really in need then you are wasting our time!!! Try to find a "daily labor" place that gives you money the day that you work for them. That could at least help you to get $$ to get a room. If your x-mate is trying to help, tell them to help by letting you sleep on the floor until you get this figured out. I have been homeless--with a child, I know that there are things that you can do. I slept sitting up on a couch so my son didn't have to sleep on the floor at a friends house. YOU will find help. YOU need to look---since you are on the internet why not try looking for your local area "help" agencies that offer vouchers, shelter, food and what not. Make better use of your time so that it doesn't give such the appearance of it being a "joke".

Unfortunately people don't realise how quickly someone can become homeless in any country. Circumstances can change your life overnight. I have been communicating for some time with a guy who was once homeless he was a very educated gent but overnight he had nothing no home or money. He slept in his car, washed at the local swimming pool. He begged and got enough money for chips and orange juice from McDonald's.
Your local social services, probation, housing executive should be able to help you. Look up emergency call outs numbers.
Use bus shelters, train stations, airport or where ever to keep warm and dry . Beg if you have to or ask someone to buy you a meal.
Keep the chin up and have a good day.

i feel for you, i wouldn't say advertising on the internet is a wise choice though you could end up in a weirdos home, why don't you go to the nearest hotel? or can you not just reason with your ex and ask for a couple of more nights in the house till you find something, look in papers also and see if theres a home to rent,

you people need to lay off my boy pete here! pete is probably at a public library using the internet.isnt a homeless person welcome in the library or are you people afraid he might infect others with the homeless diseas? pete build yourself a treehouse and stay in it buddy.

I've read the posts of others who question your Internet access, and I figure that you're probably at the library using the computer. I'll pray for your safe deliverance.

You local housing authority have an obligation to provide you with accomodation even if its only a hostel- please go to see them on monday. They also have a list of registered landlords who will take people on benefits and also they can provide you with a deposit. You must be firmer with them because they do have to help you. Good Luck.

I understand you've split, but your partner is mean. Unless you did something really bad, she could at least let you pitch a tent....Id be looking for a job. Any job.

Go and see the local council on Monday morning and they'll put you in touch with local landlords who accept DHSS.
