How Do You Handle The Stress of Homelessness?

in this winter season there are many who are fighting for their very lives every day, forced to find shelter from the bitter cold while they desperately seek food to eat. They are homeless. How did this happen? Many things can lead to a person being forced to live on the street - the loss of a job, an eviction, a foreclosure, having no nearby family, having no friends with space in their homes to share, a drug habit, an alcohol addiction, mental illness, poor money management, a house fire, a building fire, a fight with family members, fleeing domestic violence. Once a person is without a place to live, finding shelter can be a difficult task, especially if children are included. How does one deal with the stress of homelessness? Have you ever been homeless? Are you in danger of becoming homeless due to a lease not being renewed, a raise in rent, a marital breakup? Do you have a game plan to seek help from other family members or friends? If not, where will you go?
