<prompt> Human: Im sure someday Ill be able to laugh at that.Single, 26 year old male, former Marine. Was staying with family while attending school, but they decided this was no longer an acceptable arrangement and gave me 24 hours to vacate. Im pretty sure thats not legal... but whatever, its done. Ive been awake since the morning of the 4th packing and cleaning and hauling my stuff to storage.At present, Im part of my states disproportionately high homeless vet population. Not living on the streets homeless, but couch-surfing homeless.My savings are tapped out and I have a few bills that are about to be past due. I exhausted the money in the bank for living expenses while looking for work, and they ran out just in time for me to start a new job. I work too many hours for unemployment, and my first pay day is a long ways away. Ill probably be all caught up by the end of the month, but then Id still have to get together first months rent and a deposit and all that. This is not an acceptable long-term solution, IMO.So what are my options? Is there any kind of government assistance I can get for the next couple of months? I get the impression that its hard to qualify for welfare unless youre disabled or have kids. What else can I do besides sweat overdue bills and be a vagrant while Im waiting for payday?Ive finally reached the point where my need is greater than my pride. I have a couple of minor conditions that could qualify me for a small amount of VA disability, but Ive always avoided it because I have too many friends who were wounded in combat and are struggling to get by. Even if I did, it takes forever to get the gears turning on that.What do?  <response>: Call your congressmans office. Able-bodied vet becoming homeless on the 4th of July is the kind of problem they live to solve.
