Nobody ever knows why, when or if we ever become homeless. For that reason alone, I have acquired my own information based on myself being homeless but also a way to reach out to people and help prepare them.
This page is dedicated to doing just that!
Buy a backpack:
Carry a game/entertainment (boredom is high). Have a jar of peanut butter and plastic spoons. Just in case you need to snack. Have handwarmers and all your electronics that are important (phone/laptop).
Make sure to pack a roll of toilet paper or wipes (you never know)
Have a bottle of water (preferably a stainless steel one)
Have your sleeping bag, strapped to your bag (until you get a tent and pitch camp).
A notebook and pens.
A whiteboard/cardboard with a sharpie/marker (for the sake of panhandling to make a quick buck, not for expenses).
Always know different places you can plug in to charge and you should be able to just walk into a hospital and ask for homeless resources.
Stay safe and have a can of pepper spray on you (only if it’s legal).
