homeless

Just wanted to introduce myself. For now yall can call me Bungholio. Im a stoner in my early 30s, total amateur skater/surfer/snowboarder. My sense of humor is the opposite of the dire straits i'm in currently. Sort of a throwaway account, maybe. Ill more than likely be on the road in my van...

I'm Rachel. I originally joined STP in 2010 or so during my heavy traveling years but my account closed so I rejoined in 2020. As of mid May 2025 I am recently outside again after two years of building a home with my partner as a retired Traveler. He and I semi retired into urban camping...

Greetings, my name is Goden. I will be homeless starting January 1st. I'm currently working at Pizza Hut in a very small town(2,000 population) in Georgia, USA. I already have a 25L backpack but I cant fit all the gear I bought into it. I plan on walking to Alabama then Texas and eventually...

Howdy folks. I used to come here years ago and I am facing a high probability of being on the road again. Did the "normal" life for years, then got a great writing gig, but a corporate buyout happened and now I got nothin'. I used to be a road hippie in the early 90s, but the world has changed a...

Bad news for homeless camps in California.

City of Grants Pass v Johnson Camping Ban (Laymen's Article) Huge loss of rights and safety for us houseless folks today. Of course, Grants Pass... This is probably going to set a precedent for the nation. Spread the word and stay safe out there, everybody.

I have a pair of Vietnam tiger camo pants should I wear them in public or is it to much when homeless

hi everyone, me and my partners housing situation fell thru and we weren't too prepared for it. we haven't worked in 2 years, we're mid 20s, trans. we have some extra money for a start at something, around 1k. we were looking into vans for a while but never seemed in our budget. we haven't had...

But will they make it MORE illegal than breaking and entering to squat?

2022 zine on mobilizing support for homeless individuals during cold weather. Includes a step by step on how to organize.

I made the title in the hope it would be respected and not criticized but this is an awkward subject for me so all input is embraced. Right now, and for the past 8 months, I have been housed and working at a non-profit helping folks get free bicycles. On several occasions, folks come in and at...

When things are going well, people humbly enjoy their lives. When things get shitty, people quietly look out for each other. I think there’s something admirable in that. I can’t explain my whole life obviously. I got into this position due to a complex set of mistakes and misfortunes. I take...

When Rebecca Twigg was 7, she rode a bike for the first time. There were no training wheels, but Twigg took off like she’d done it in a previous life. She fell only when she realized she didn’t know how to stop, and steered into a wall. “I took to the road like I was born to do it,” Twigg says...

The audio from the 911 call (Err not the 911 call but rather the dispatch radio communications. I edited out the dead air in between. So this is actually 3 separate broadcasts over the course of about 18 minutes condensed down into like 20 seconds) On 9/24/2021 I was sitting out in front of the...

Ive been traveling around about 4 years through NC TN and Ohio and havent found anything too worthy of sticking around for. I was wondering which states any of you would recommend that would have good jobs and resources for the homeless. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had a camp in a small lagoon I came to call the swamp. Although I've never been completely homeless I stayed with my aunt on her couch and had an address but I spent most of my time camped out with the homeless The people of the community also frequented the lagoon they had one of the few...

I just wanted to give my two cents on a men's homeless shelter in Kansas City, Missouri. It's called Shelter KC and it's at 1502 Cherry St. Overall it's a decent place to stay, but beware. They like to peach the gospel a lot. In fact, you have to sit through chapel after dinner. It's mandatory...

Recently I've been struggling with finding places to live or even squat. I've been sleeping on the benches of Tompkins Square Park (LES manhattan) and I'd really like to know how I can find places in NYC to squat or where I can find experienced people here who know about this stuff. Also im...
