@0nly0nerachel: I’ve known this man for years. He’s 78 years old and has lived on my road for as long as I can remember. He rented the same home for about 15 years, but after the owner passed away, he continued to pay the daughter rent & the the property was sold under his feet with hardly any warning on the courthouse steps, and he suddenly found himself with nowhere to go .. Now he’s living in the woods and abandoned homes doing everything he can to keep himself and his dog fed and sheltered , and not to mention it’s SO hot out .. I’m posting this in hopes that the right person sees & can help him get back on his feet . If enough people are interested in helping & got any ideas on how we can make something happen . I let him charge his phone/ head lamp on my porch & give him plates whenever I can . I have 2 kids of my own and can’t do much more . We’ve reached out to church’s and multiple places and no luck . Please keep the negativity away & share for me !! #homeless #foryou #elderly #viral #homelessness Please be kind. ❤️
This is not how our elderly should spend their golden years.
I hope he gets the assistance he needs

If you have a way to get him an RV, it looks like a park called Hoofers near you offers $650 a month sites. If that includes his electric and water, could he pay that?

I'm not sure what churches you've called im not from your area but usually catholic churches are the ones that might be able to help atleast put him in a motel for a few days.He needs to go to social services and apply for emergency housing they should put him in a motel and than give him assistance finding permanent housing depending on his income.I think you should make a go fund me and keep posting on your page even if it gives him a few days in a motel it's worth it.Hes too old to be in this heat.

I work in social services, and I can tell you this has been ongoing. I had 3 seniors today. Homeless! We have a mental wellness room at my job. We utilize it often. I cry! Especially those that have their fur babies with them.

Don't stop you go fund me at 6500. Keep it going and try to raise enough to buy the property. Even if he has to put a tent temporarily at least it's his. Then we can work on getting a camper. Maybe the property owners would come down a little on the price if you explain the circumstances. I will start looking for a used camper just in case.
Also, what is the name of the local paper in your area?. Maybe it's time to send them thecstory??

See if he is a Veteran and maybe help him get veteran disability. He may have never applied and they pay for all kinds of things.

He needs someone willing to turn a shed into an ADU on their property. Preferably built to accommodate a wheelchair so he has a place to land indefinitely. Sounds like he has an income and could pay some rent to whoever is willing to have the ADU on their property

You may have to make calls for him. He may not know which number to call or what to ask. He may need a ride to an appointment and you as an advocate.ty for helping him.

This is so sad and it’s happening more and more. So many elderly are falling homeless and the resources for help are unable to help. I know it’s not just the elderly but our seniors need help.
