I Don’t Have a Place to Stay this Christmas

2013 has not been the best year for some, and I wanted to start a thread with resources for those who may be close to being kicked out on the street. Does anyone have advice on some options people have? If anyone knows of any departments or charities that can offer free accommodation for Christmas, let's list them here. Thanks, everyone and Merry Christmas.

If you don't have a place to stay you need to call the following people immediately - Don't Delay!

Boys Town National Hotline
Telephone: 1800-448-3000

This non profit organization has an incredible database of emergency accommodation and food services all around the USA.

This is the US Housing & Urban Development Department's address and telephone number.

The US Department of Housing & Urban Development offer the following assistance to homeless people

Shelter Plus Care Program
This program offers grants for rental assistance for homeless people with disabilities through other programs such as Tenant, Sponsor, Project, and Single Room Occupancy Rental Assistance.

Single Room Occupancy Program
Offers rental help on behalf of homeless people in connection with moderate rehabilitation of SRO dwellings.

Supportive Housing Program
Offers housing, including small housing units and inter group quarters, that has a loving & supportive environment and includes a planned service component to help people get out of homelessness.

I would definitely check out the Homeless Shelter Directory which finds homeless people a place to stay. With the directory you can find food, shelter and help towards permanent residence in a home. I have included their contact details below.
