| I spent nearly six years homeless. I got back into housing about 2.5 years ago. I started multiple websites while homeless and I still run multiple websites, some of which are pertinent to this problem space. This comment seems to list all my homeless sites: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22804929 2020 is proving especially challenging for the homeless population. The pandemic has made things very hard for homeless people of late. Libraries are currently closed in many places, as are eateries with wifi and so forth. Some shelters and soup kitchens have shut down during the pandemic. It's pretty brutal at the moment. But things like tablets are cheaper than when I first became homeless and websites are generally optimized to work well on smartphones and tablets, which was not true when I was first on the street. So there are ways in which it is easier than ever to figure out how to problem solve and create an income from the street and get your life back.
