Sleep in the car...get a famous movie director to put me up...

Couch. Family or friend.

I'm incredibly lucky in that it wouldn't happen to me. If, touch wood, my house burned down in the morning, I would have a ton of options of where to stay.

Air bnb if I have my cards
Couch surfing if I don't

Go to the country offering farm labour and stay. Can't understand why homeless always stay in cities

Yeah there is an app for that I picked up som e hitchhikers last summer doing it all round Europe
Drove them from Castlebar to Sligo, there is a site that advertises labour in return for board and lodgings.
Homeless people as in the traditional sleep in a doorway under cardboard people are normal suffering with addiction and or mental issues. Fake homeless people simply don't have homes

You know one day one of us will kidnap you right ?

Use my Unlimited Cineworld card and sleep for 5 x 90 minute films a day and live on left over popcorn and soft drinks... then walk the streets at night.

I'd book into a fancy hotel until the problem was resolved.

Thats actually a real good trick.

In japan some use internet cafés, buy enough credit for a night.
In a wee cordoned off box with computer.

What if you had to worry about children too. If you're on your own, there's much more options.

I think you're missing the point of the thread

Move in with my sisters family, I'm sure she'd not mind (for a while!)

There is volunteer organic farm labourer scheme called Wwoof, details here for anyone who is about to become homeless.

I'll save us all the hassle. How much now to just drop the notion?

Nope. I said it wouldn't happen to me.

As opposed to most others who answered the wrong question.

Anyway, stay with family or friends. At worst, and I can't imagine it ever happening, sleep in the car for a few nights, shower and eat in work.

Ah, it was all a trick. There are no question marks so no questions!

That's your solution to everything, to move under the sea. It's not gonna happen!

Darling it's better down where it's wetter take it from me.

The problem with moving under the sea is that people are led to believe that the seaweed is always greener on the other side.

steddyeddy

I'm well off now so I'd probably book a fancy hotel. When I was a broke student it would be a different story. I'm very proud and don't like imposing on people.

osarusan

Left with 'nowhere to stay'? So no friends or family?

I'd head to the police station and ask what my options were, try and secure something for the night from those options, and then try to find more, better, options.

You'd probably be told where to go. I was rep for access course students in UCD. Barely a year went by without one of the students being homeless. There's emergency shelters in place but I found the police to be woeful.

Scout out a few hidden, covered spots near a church before sunset, if steddyeddy or osarusan's advice doesn't find you shelter.

Been there, done that, wouldn't recommend the homeless gig.

MilesMorales1

Assuming I didn't lose my money/bank card/passport in the blaze, I would get the first flight to Liverpool and stay with family. Since unfortunately, we have no family here or even close friends to stay with, and all my roots and stuff remain in the UK.

I live in South England now but the thought of Dublin's housing market scares me. No lessons learned, increasing homelessness and lack of a will to do anything about it.

I thought the OP meant losing everything. If it's only the house, then no big deal. Hotel for a while and buy, or build, a new house.

It happened me exactly 12 months ago. Went to the council who forwarded me onto a homeless unit where I stayed for 6 months,dreadful place,absolutely shocking. Was forced to leave that but had made contact with focus Ireland who found me a nice little apartment and I am there now.

It's very easy to end up homeless. It began for me after returning from living abroad for a few years.

MilesMorales1

It's a lot harder for some of us than others, specially if you've no savings/financial resources.

steddyeddy

Amazingly easy to become homeless. In the case of the students I represented they came from dangerous families. Going home wasn't an option and very few people actually agreed to having them in their house. I think people would be surprised by who their real friends are.

It's across all professions too. There's been doctor's made homeless, painters, self employed and all those in between made homeless. Another big factor is alcohol.

the_pen_turner

if i had nothing and couldnt use neighbours or fmaily etc i would find an old abandoned house in the countryside. there are loads of abandond cottages out there.
go to the local hardwaes adn co ops and get pallets to burn.
go to local farmers and offer to work for food

Very true. Personal circumstance is the number one factor.

This is so true.....especially for men in their late fifties or early sixties....herself gets a change of mind and bang..your out on your ear....could take months to get sorted and all the time your out of the house.

yeah, thats it. along the lines of worst case scenario.

Im back on a laptop so ill rant a bit now.
Recently I experienced some bad health which meant I couldn't work, but I was thankful that I didn't live in other certain countries where such a situation can easily and quickly spiral to the point where you'd be both sick and homeless.

In such as case as that (being sick and without cover and comfort) you're going to have a seriously sht time at best.

So as a way to allay these fears, or to tie off that possibility Im on a bit of a quest watching lots of bear grylls and ray mears, urban preppers, hobo culture, converted vans and the like.

But yeah the general idea is - turfed out, on the street, with maybe a few euro in your pocket, enough time to grab a backpack, and no-one to call on. How does one keep it together in such a time.

Just looking to have a plan b in mind. Pick up little tips. Cause you never know.

or :mad: himself! (personal experience) ...beg to differ, homelessness is much worse for women!! Personal safety is a major issue!
Circumstances turn on a dime, not easy to recoup a life, once it happens.
Taken me a few years, and much worse for wear.
