there are shelters everywhere you have to get online and find em Lincon Nebraska there is one called the rescue mission and it is Long Term and they dont kick you out.YOU have to be able to get to one and have back up plan if that don't work out.

They literally told you to get out??? I mean the only thing i can think of would be to call another homelss shelter like Faith Missons or something i am not sure or anything. But i jus think that is rediculous for them to tell you , you had to get out by 2:00 that is crazy but yeah call them and they will probably take you guys in there... Thanks

Millie.. I saw your plight and have you in my prayers. I recently brought a young mother and her child into my home. Their an absolute joy. Its been such a humbling experience.

I've sat by her as she's applied for every form of assistance imaginable. To be told.. sorry.. the pots empty. Check here.. check there.. One dead end reference after another. It was both exhausting and an eye opener I hadn't expected.

While there are tons of agencies managing funding thats come their way.. the primary drain appears to be the agency operation expenses. We recently spent a full day waiting at one such agency.. staffed to the brim.. to be told all the funding had been allocated over a month prior.

I see the numbers of homeless on the rise as a result of the downturned economy. For these people the only difference between the depression era homeless and the current is now it easily becomes a criminal offense. The cart well before the horse approach. If you make it a criminal offense .. the homeless numbers will decrease. Only the number of jobs have also so the idealogy behind the approach fails.

For every homeless child.. we as a nation.. a collective whole.. have failed. From the President of this country we love.. all the way down to each of us. We're failing.

Millie, Alexis and Christina.. If I had the space and resources you'd all be welcome. Know you and your children are each in my prayers.

I am a pregnant 22 year old in need of immediate help with housing. I have a 3 year old son also. I need a place I can stay for maybe a few months until I can have my baby and be able to go back to work. I have a boyfriend who can help me but is currently detained for reasons that is not his fault. I have no idea when he will get out to help me and I have no one that can help me with a place or money wise.

I am almost 6 months pregnant and have a 2 year old....my boyfriend is in GA working and I am in VA working, we are both staying with people while we get on our feet, but he is running out of time...I have been trying to get into a shelter for almost two months now, and he has two weeks left where he is currently living.

does anyone know of agencies that can assist with 1st months' rent? we both have jobs but we don't have enough timew to save up deposit money.

if we don't find a place at least for him in the enxt 2 weeks i don't what will happen. we have been struggling and homeless since august, and i am exhausted. we are not together because i had to go where i could get a job. i want to go back before our baby is born, but i have no home to bring my children to. any suggestions?

I am soon to be 29 at the end of January. I have a 1 year old little girl, and also a 9 year old. I am fortunate to have been married and have the support of my family. My heart goes out to you, and each other mother that posted on this site like you. I wish I could help but I live in Tennessee. I have clothing for a little girl if needed by you or someone else on this site. I will even ship it to you if you can provide me with a mailing address. The clothes are all stain free and folded neatly and cleaned before I put them away in plastic rubbermaid containers. They are yours if you need them. Please be safe and take care.
