0. Save your money for laundry and storage.

1. Food pantries will provide food. “I have a food emergency.”

2. Call the local homeless shelters, mental health clinics - anywhere that deals with indigent populations.

3. Recognize your bravery for putting ethics over money.

4. Work your way into a low-income housing situation. Many ethical thinkers live this way.

5. Don’t get paranoid or angry. You have dignity.

6. Join a church which is full of intelligent and relaxed people. I recommend Catholicism.

7. If you have to ask for something, ask for it with a smile. People want to help each other.

8. Family sticks together.

Sincerely, A programmer who lived homelessly for years
