Today I discovered “IT IS HARD TO STOP BEING HOMELESS WHEN YOU ARE HOMELESS” Former Case Manager – Presently Homeless – Single Mother college degree, excellent work history, marketable skills and experience, Professional, Smart , Savvy, Resourceful and …….I can’t secure employment or housing – I have been turned away from the shelter in SCV the last 5 + times I showed up. I was not accepted into the Family Program – they gave my son and I vouchers for 4 nites hotel stay and then told us we were not welcome and not to come back. I sent my son to live (temp) with relatives while I struggle to find safe places to sleep and secure employment but it is a strain on them and us – Please give me some advice I am losing hope
