<prompt> Human: For some context, I am currently homeless living in my car. I have a 32 hour a week job but I only get about 170-213 a week depending on hours. If I can come up with 1500, i can put a down payment down on an apartment with roommates and i wouldnt be living in the car, unfortunately my whole check is gone rather quickly. Here is the breakdown:Gas:50-70 a week depending on driving and if i get cold and have to run the car for heatFood: 35 a weekStudent loans: 75 a monthInsurance: 65 a monthPhone: 33 a monthGym membership: 31 a month for showersPrescriptions: 12 a monthMore info: Ive applied for secondary 3rd shift jobs, but have not received a call back from anyone. Unfortunately if I try to get another job, it means limiting my availability at my current job and losing hours. I can not go to my family for help and Ive exhausted all possible friendships for couch hoping since Ive been homeless since June. Only one shelter in the area Im in and its for recovering drug addicts or domestic violence victims of which I am neither. Nearest shelter past that is about 15 miles away and is in a really bad part of town and not a place I even want to drive let alone park my car. Cant apply for foodstamps because they need an address which I cant provide. Edit: thank you guys for the responses, but Im not looking to blame anything on my homelessness, I know Im homeless because of decisions I made. Im also not looking for shelters, because the car is a place for me to sleep within a half mile of work that makes me feel safe in a well lit area with the doors locked and tinted windows. I am honestly just looking for an honest way to make 1500 so Im not out in the freezing cold this winter. I dont ask for help from others because thats not how I was raised, I dont blame anybody but myself. I know that I pay a lot for insurance but when you are a recovering cancer patient you take that risk so you are safe if it comes back. Mines come back 3 times. Some of these ideas are great and Im going to be trying them this weekend to try to make it out of this situation. Thank you and God bless!  <response>: Im a social worker and Ive worked with people whove experienced homelessness before. I think your best bet would be to exhaust any government assistance you may be eligible for and then reach out to homeless service agencies. Homeless service agencies might be able in helping you acquire housing by helping with first months rent and in getting you a connection to a better job. The government agency HUD provides non profit agencies with funding to address homelessness so they would be better equipped to help. Such programs such as Rapid Rehousing would assist and cover the cost of an apartments first months rent. I dont blame you for not wanting to utilize a shelter as it can be unsafe but perhaps you could utilize their other services for food and clothing. I have found a few agencies in your region. Have you gone to your local social service welfare, Im from NJ so I dont know much about Indiana but they should be able to offer some form of Emergency Assistance due to your situation. The link below has information on your states services and it mentions the rapid Rehousing program I mentioned earlier I would check it out.
