My mom kicked me out and I'm still in school. I have a job but it only pays around $150 a month. I'm try to go off to college after graduation and have the grades to do it, but I need housing until I can finish school. What should I do?

Hello there,

Thanks for reaching out to us during this difficult time. It sounds like you are really struggling to find some safe place to stay until college starts. Have you talked to your high school about your situation? Maybe a school counselor or trusted teacher would have some resources for you to reach out and contact. There are a few places that offer temporary housing or emergency shelter until you find some stability. The first one is Job Corps at http://www.jobcorps.gov/. Another website to check out is http://www.homelessshelterdirectory....?city=Virginia Beach&state=VA which is a list of homeless shelters in your area. We hope these resources help, if you need additional numbers or just want to talk about your situation please give us a call. We are here to help and wish you the best of luck.
