That's rough. When your resume is by default the easiest to reject out of any pile it finds itself in, a personal connection is often what it takes to receive any consideration.

If I were you I would talk to as many people who are in a position to hire as possible. If you see a "now hiring" sign, go in and talk to someone face-to-face. Try to get any 9-5 job you can at first, even if it's grocery store clerk. It will make it a lot easier to convince someone you're a steady hire when something better comes along. I was never homeless but I did have a dead-in-the-water resume at one point with a big work gap. The first jobs I got on my own were seasonal UPS helper and furniture mover. When I got hired into tech it was with months of full-time work experience. My new employer only had to worry about whether I could do the job, and not whether I was capable of holding myself to a 9-5 schedule

I don't know to what extent this squatting stuff is a choice, but I would recommend you abandon any voluntary participation in that lifestyle as soon as possible. You're not going to bootstrap yourself out of homelessness if you're linked arm-in-arm in solidarity with other anarchists, squatters, etc. It's also just not a stable environment.

You should realize that you might personally be ok with working "enough to survive", but that doesn't fit the needs of most employers. Ultimately you have to figure out what an employer's requirements are and meet those, and one of those is almost always going to be "commitment to a working square's existence". A part of this is also convincing them that they won't be hiring your replacement in just a couple months
