<prompt> Human: Hi everybody. I know this isnt your normal post but I need help and dont know where else to turn. Im 22 years old and living homeless in Los Angeles. My parents are both passed away and I dont have any family members who can help. I have been off and on homeless since 18, but havent been able to make enough friends that can actually provide me a place to sleep or anything to let me get back on my feet. I have sold most of my belongings to get by and mostly rely on Craigslist gigs in order to make little bits of money as it is EXTREMELY difficult to get a decent job while homeless. Additionally, the one job that did accept me informed me my background check came back dirty because of a trespassing offense I wasnt able to pay the fine for got ticketed for trespassing because I was sleeping on private property. Right now I have a backpack worth of belongings and my most expensive item is my cell phone. I have food stamps, but no longer qualify for general relief because Im taking a summer class. I receive no financial aid except for tuition waivers in the summer so theres no income coming in through there. Any advice as to how to make money and begin to save money while in this position so I can attempt to get my life back on track would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.  <response>: Also hit up the rpovertyfinance sub.
