ive jus become homeless..an trying to find out bout. shelters..can anyone help me with this..

Jesse Mercado | Nov 6, 2019
Rene Gil | Nov 6, 2019

The best place to find a shelter is the Salvation Army or Star of Hope. You will not be allowed to venture freely for 30 days. You will have to belong to a program. A 90 - 120 days program, 1 yr program, 2 yr program. Then you can seek medical help. Food Stamps. Even disability depending on your program choice. Careful no cell phones allowed so say you don't have one. Even a government cell phone can be attained for free.

Do they give out homeless letters ?

Victoria Gonzales | Nov 6, 2019
raymond wescott | Nov 6, 2019

Actually search does not provide the homeless letters. The letters are provided by lord of the streets the beacon or the Salvation Army.

Linda Johnson | Nov 6, 2018
Kendell Fulgham | Nov 6, 2018

There is no place that will shelter the both of you together. Sally house, Star of Hope will shelter women and star of hope for men and salvation army for men

What housing services do they provide is it like da shelters in dallas da mission

Fco Hdzjr | Nov 6, 2018
Beth Morton | Nov 6, 2018

This is a resource center. They do have housing assitance programs like rapid rehousing but you have to be reffered through another agency. They will provide a homless letter though as well as help with application services for gold card and snap. They are a daycenter but are not and never were a shelter

Jasmine Symone | Nov 5, 2021
Lydia Alexander | Nov 5, 2021

There are plenty of jobs that hire only felons. They can help you with that at SEARCH. You need a homeless letter to be seen by the doctor at healthcare for the homeless.

I'm homless with 4 kids and paid for our last night at a hotel I need emergency housing or shelter and I have no income can someone help

Lexus Stafford | Nov 5, 2020
kimberly carter | Nov 5, 2020

The salvation army and Star of hope have separate centers for women and children away from the mens centers. You may want to check with them first. There's a place in downtown Houston near Minute Maid Park that can give you all the information about emergency housing for women and children in Houston but I don't remember the name of the place. You can also go to The Beacon and they will wash your clothes and give you a hot lunch. They can provide you with information on emergency housing so that you and your family don't spend a night on the streets at all. If you need anything else please let me know and I'll look it up for you and give you a call or message you with the information. My name is Kimberly Haug and I was living on the streets of Houston for a few months during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's..... please let me know if you need anything.... I'll do what I can to help you and your children.

Are you able to get a homeless letter from Search

Rhonda Bolinger | Nov 5, 2020
Michael Hunt | Nov 5, 2020

No. You need a homeless letter to enter. But they don't provide one. Star of hope for men is the hardest homeless letter to get. Use compass.

Herik Pompa | Nov 5, 2020

Sourceful Soulz | Nov 6, 2019
Natasha Lopez | Nov 6, 2019

No you can't. If you were married you can go to the family star of hope downtown. Since you aren't married you can go to the star of hope and they will split you guys up but at least you wont be homeless

I need emergency help with rent, I am in eviction process. Who can stop eviction process asap

Mike Gonzales | Nov 6, 2019
Jessica Morgenstern | Nov 6, 2019

I recommend calling 211. Ecclesia church and wayside Baptist Church have helped as well as Thomas St if ur plugged into that. Make sure they know u have a notice to vacate and if they don't have funds to help ask them to refer u to someone who can.

I have a couple of bags of men's clothes (some pants, t-shirts, polos) and want to know where to take them to put them to the best use. Can you help?

How does the housing assistance work? I have steady income but I've found myself with no place to stay. Does it take a long time to get an apartment through the housing assistance?

TheMusty Bubble | Nov 6, 2018
I I | Nov 6, 2018

You have to prove that you are homeless like staying in a shelter. Then you go to the beacon and get assessed. If approved you will be placed on a waiting list. Then you can go to search to get in their case management program to assist with housing. Everyone case is different and you must qualify. It is faster if you are in a shelter also. It took me a year before I received housing after being homeless for four years....

Phillip Clark | Nov 6, 2018

Help only come from God bru... He put people in your life when you need them. So instead of going to people from just pray about it and trust and believe God gpnna put someone in your life to provide for your needs.. Amen Prayers do work so go to God for your help , thats why you probably can't get help because God blocking out everybody. So you can come to him for help, so it's just you in God homie...God Bless
