I’m really unsure where to put this and forgive me for such an urgent post but, my friend has been struggling as of late due to being kicked out of their old home in NY. Bare with me for the long story.
I offered to let them stay with my relatives in Baltimore, MD for a while but that is starting to turn sour as well. Though they’ve been accepted to one of our universities, they’ve been struggling with getting a stable job. At first they landed a job at Family dollar but the employer fucked them over by not responding when asked to give them a proper work schedule, even when the employer was told they were at risk of getting kicked out. Though I’ve connected with others who may have a potential job for them in place, my issue is that my relatives are struggling to support him since they live on disability and their other line of support is moving out next Wednesday, and their amount of income is only fit for two people, meaning they legit cannot afford him. And for hindsight, even though we’ve looked for jobs this month that may be open, the problem is that most places weren’t training at the moment due to the holiday season, meaning they’d only be able to hold training and interviews after January, which is dangerously close to the time my friend could be kicked out.
Though he has signed up for food stamps to compensate for the limited money he had to give to them, the place that offered food stamps recently suspended his card for food stamps since he does not have a stable 20+ hours/week job, a kid, or any severe disability. Though I found a potential place for him to work through connecting through friends, the only problem now is housing since it’s a process to get situated at a job. He will be getting housing at the college he’s attending but that’s a few months away before the summer/fall semester begins.
Again, I apologize for the long post and urgency, but does anyone in the Baltimore, Maryland area know anyone who could potentially take him in until he’s able to get himself situated? Another thing to mention is that he an LGBTQ individual so I’d prefer safe places for them to stay.
