As the recession bites, families and individuals around us, perhaps even some of us, will find themselves experiencing need that they have not previously known. The idea of this resource is to gather information on access to help of all kinds that we can share with anyone who needs them and add to as new resources are made available and new information reaches us. As resources increase the buttons on the left will lead to other pages of links. | |||

They find the best items from around the web and combine them with their own listings - the next step is up to visitors. | |||

@linnetwoods Homelessness is a problem that affects many people in America. If you are homeless yourself and need help or if you want to learn more about homelessness and how you can help, they have information for you. HUD, along with many other federal agencies, funds programs to help the homeless. These programs are managed by local organizations that provide a range of services, including shelter, food, counseling, and jobs skills programs. So start by contacting a homeless assistance agency in your area. | |||

@linnetwoods This site is a homeless search engine/spider & portal dedicated to giving resources (food banks, soup kitchens, hostels, shelters, housing, welfare, panhandling, food stamps, employment & jobs, squatting, news, laws & human rights, etc) that homeless (runaways, veterans, disabled, poor/poverty, etc) and low-incomed people can use to help them get off the streets. Just use the search form above this paragraph (no porn, no crap, just hand picked helpful sites). How can homeless people use this tool? What homeless person owns a computer? Every library across North America (Canada and USA) has public access computers with free internet access (please spread the word, we even got this easy to remember domain name SpareSomeChange.com as most people who ever wound up homeless have panhandled with the phrase "Spare Some Change?"). This FREE tool helps homeless individuals help themselves! Donations keep this site running and free. | ||||
