It's been difficult for us, and even more so for those we serve. The threat of deportations has made people afraid to come to our store for needed items, so we're shifting to mobile operations. I decided to focus on this full-time after seeing a four-month-old baby living outside a police station. One refugee mentioned her son waits for other kids to leave school, fearing ICE agents. Our storefront relies on community donations, providing everything from clothes to food. We offer support beyond material goods, also aiding in job searches. These things are hard to get when you're focused on finding a place to live. We're currently packing up due to the location being sold and need community help to continue. We're seeking a donated store space, even a church basement. We aim to expand to offer English classes and legal support. When you learn about someone's life, it's harder to be judgmental.

Camille McAuley, a woman living on the streets for 12 years, discusses the lack of support from the government in addressing homelessness. She mentions that despite claims by Governor Gavin Newsom, the assistance provided is minimal, with only water being offered. McAuley expresses frustration with the government's focus on the southern border and the influx of immigrants while neglecting the needs of American citizens. She shares her desire for help in finding shelter for herself and her family, including her parents. McAuley also expresses support for former President Trump and the hope for his return to address issues such as job creation and prioritizing American citizens. The conversation ends with a prayer and words of encouragement.

I am an alcoholic and drug addict who has struggled with addiction for years. I have bought crack cocaine on the streets and cooked it in a hotel bungalow. My marriage ended, I faced guns, and lived in cheap motels while scaring my family.

I am in a hotel room, which is a risky situation. This hotel, the Clarion Hotel in West Springfield, is accommodating Haitian migrants. The town is not benefiting from the tax dollars, as they are being given to my friends. I need to leave now.

I'm being kicked out of my hotel for asking for an N95 mask. I'm struggling with money, scams, and health issues. I can't find stable housing. I feel lost and alone. I just want a safe place to call home. I'm sober, but struggling without my ADHD medication. I feel tired, hungry, and in need of comfort. I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, with nowhere to go. I'm angry at discrimination against disabled people and COVID misinformation. I just want a place to belong.

I'm on vacation, but my house has been torn up by the Secret Service to make it secure. So I have nowhere to go except Delaware for one day. I'm not homeless, I just have one home. It's a beautiful home, but I'm here for the day because I can't call.

There's a lot of help signs around here. Can you get in there? No, that's just where you parked. The construction workers are nearby. Someone wrote "help" on the ground, and it seems like a lot of people are confused about it. Is it just a joke or related to the homeless? It’s strange to see those signs everywhere. I’ve noticed it too, and it raises questions about what’s happening. I just wanted to understand more about it. Alright, take care. Thanks!

It's November 25th, and Laura and I are in western North Carolina, far from Chimney Rock. We've arrived at a base camp where people are living in tents. Each tent houses five individuals. One girl mentioned they ran out of firewood last night and were cold for most of the night. I'm here in Spruce Pine, where the situation is intense. Please continue to tag, repost, and share to raise awareness about what's happening in North Carolina.

I'm frustrated because I can't get into the building. They raised the cost of living so high that even though I work full-time, I can't afford to live here. It doesn't make any sense. I'm homeless and it's unfair that they're bringing in more people without considering us who were born and raised here. They only care about money and the rich. It's a messed up situation.

Our country's security relies on our economic security; if our economy is threatened, so is our overall security. Let me be blunt, housing isn't primarily the federal government's responsibility. Here at the shelter in Mississauga, this is the spot where a young man from Nigeria died last week. You can see the tents where people were living. How are people expected to survive in these horrible conditions with the cold weather? Affordable housing, where can a man find a bed? "No one knows," he said. "Take a load off."

I went for a walk in Harris Park in London, Ontario and was shocked to discover a large tent city by the river. It was scary and sad to see. There were multiple compounds with walkways and people talking to each other. This used to be a beautiful path, but now it's filled with tents. It's concerning to think about what might be happening there. This level of homelessness in our own city is heartbreaking. We should focus on helping our own people instead of constantly bringing in more immigrants.

Yo, check this out. It's messed up out here. People are dying in the streets. Last night, a dude died right on the sidewalk, just lying there all night. Nobody did anything. This is what's happening in New York City right now. Our homeless folks are dying on the streets while migrants are living it up in hotels. How is that right? Our own people are dying on the sidewalk while migrants are living the good life in hotels. We need to sort this out.

I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, going door to door to check on people and offer supplies. We're distributing food and other necessities. We need to support our fellow Americans and neighbors. We must take care of our home, which is America. Regardless of where you live, if you can help those in need in other cities, please do so. We are here providing assistance.

Many homeless men are sick and untested, some are dangerous. It's hard to trust anyone here.

I witnessed violent incidents in broad daylight, including rape and robbery. Homeless individuals carry weapons for protection. Drug use, particularly meth and heroin, is prevalent. Some pregnant women smoke drugs. Psychotic episodes are increasing, possibly due to unknown substances. Homelessness is a choice for some, facilitated by societal acceptance. Law enforcement turns a blind eye to drug dealing. The police presence is passive, allowing open drug markets. The system seems to have given up on helping the homeless population.

Where did these come from? They seem to be appearing out of nowhere. I have nowhere to live.

I lost faith in the system and urge people to stand together, not just homeless individuals, as this is a human issue, not just about homelessness. I was homeless for a year and managed to find work washing dishes at a deli. After a year and a half, business slowed down, and I was let go, unable to pay my bills. I ended up back on the streets again.

I am trying to survive without becoming a refugee. I have been displaced from my home for 100 days and I know the feeling of being without a home or land. I cannot go anywhere. The place I am currently in is a hospital, the last functioning one.

Morning from Western North Carolina. We're here again urging FEMA to extend hotel vouchers for 3,500 families currently in hotels. FEMA recently granted a 24-hour extension, but without further assistance, these families will be forced out tomorrow morning in freezing conditions, with temperatures at 17 degrees and snow on the ground. Many families lack transportation, and those who do will have to find shelter in their cars. Our intake form for Operation Shelter has tripled overnight as we reach out for help. It's unbelievable that we find ourselves in this situation again, pleading for FEMA's support.

There are numerous shelters available to provide food, warmth, and assistance to those in need. They can also guide individuals towards other helpful services.

I'm 30 years old with four kids, and I've been on welfare for twelve years. I've been living in government housing since I was 18, but I was removed briefly for not reporting my boyfriend living with me. Currently, I am unemployed and comfortable with it because I receive a government check every month. I get $780 in food stamps, $500 towards rent, Medicaid, and WIC.

I'm in downtown Chicago near Millennium Park, where the migrant crisis is visible. I encountered a man from Ecuador asking for money for medicine to treat tuberculosis he contracted at a shelter. He's struggling to get back home and claims nobody in Chicago is helping him. Similar to New York, Chicago has intake centers for migrants to get plane tickets to other states or countries. The shelter system in Chicago seems inadequate, with migrants on every corner asking for help. The situation is concerning.

My city is on fire right now. The entire area is burning, and I just flew in last night. It's a disaster in Southern California. There have been terrible fires in many places, but this is my home. The market I shop at, my kids' schools, and many friends have all been affected. Numerous friends have lost their homes.

I'm sorry to hear about the sexual assault and lack of housing support. I usually have a place to stay, even during COVID. Thank you for your concern.

I've been on the streets since leaving my partner due to domestic violence. After we separated, I approached the council for help, but they claimed I made myself intentionally homeless by leaving. They stated they have no duty to house me because I don't have addiction issues or significant medical needs. They believe I am healthy enough to stay on the streets.
