The amount of homeless people in the UK and USA are rising. At the moment the economic climate is very unpredictable and overnight people are losing their jobs and their savings.

If you do want to stay homeless and want to know how to make money when your homeless then this is a option too.

Look To Charities

There are so many charities out there that help homeless people out. Charities such as The Samaritans and The Salvation Army are a few on the recognized ones. Approach the charity for help, they can often provide you with some sort of shelter and food and provide you with valuable advice to get you on the road to recovery. The first step is the hardest step and if you can find away to lift yourself then by no time will you be back on your feet.

Begging for a living

Many homeless people beg for a living and if this is how you want to proceed then there are a few things you should know. Generally begging is frowned upon and many authorities are starting to crackdown. If you do want to beg for a living then you have to move around and find the best spots. The areas where there are a lot of professionals and wealthy middle class people are the best places to beg. If you can make about $100 everyday then you will be able to get yourself out of poverty.
