Anybody else that is at a short term accomodation waiting for a more permanent solution

[Turbocks]

So for a few months now I have been at a short term accomodation for those struggling at life and for me it was because of me not being able to live on my own anymore not only because of my autism but also poverty and landing myself in a ton of credit card debt some of which have caused me to get credit card notes causing me to not being able to loan money anymore. I have been staying here since late last year while waiting for a more permanent accomodation in the form of a service home for disabled folks and at long last I have been invited for a look at a potential service home.

Anybody else here that is in the same situation as me who cannot live at home anymore for a variety of reasons?
I mainly racked up a lot of my debt from ordering fast food a ton instead of cooking my own food and I also had suicidal thoughts and at times some of which ended up with me in a mental health hospital temporarily.

What I really need is structure and routines which were sorely lacking in my small apartment but I now have proper structure even if I rarely shower let my beard grow wild and untamed and never brushed my teeth causing them to bleed when brushed.

I have a saltwater aquarium in my old apartment that I cannot move easily but because of my debt the bailiff may at some point confiscate my aquarium to pay off my debt

Been there big time.

I was homeless for 12 years, living a semi feral lifestyle in a remote community in the tropics in the north of Australia. I had a lot of fun like that but then I started getting old. So I jumped on a plane down to Adelaide where I knew services were so much better and lived on the streets there while I put myself through the homeless services system.

They were pretty busy and it took 3 months to get assigned to a case worker, but I had no issues with that. I had been living in the bush, down in a big city all the lawns are mowed, there's running water, public toilets, shops, no scary predators, etc. Although I was genuinely homeless I felt guilty that I was scamming the system, it all felt just too easy.

After I got a case worker I was eligible for placement in a special homeless shelter where they assess you for your "ability to live independently". I was only in the shelter for one month before they found me a place, a really nice little ground level unit in a nice quiet suburb. That was five years ago, I've been very happy ever since.
