California

Californ-ya-ya
Super cool to the homeless

Some houses started empty.

Some families moved in with relatives.

Some families and friends combined, two or three renting a bigger house and sharing it.

Many are struggling to stay in motels and weekly rentals.

Many have gone to shelters.

Many are living in cars.

A lot have gone underground, for it is dangerous to be recognized as homeless.

The number of homeless goes up all the time around here. I'm seeing more and more on the street, frequently newbies with a dazed look on their faces. More seasoned homeless are arriving all the time, because the weather is easier here. I imagine it's the same for all fair-weather states.

I expect that by the new year, it will seem like there's been an explosion of homelessness as peoples' final resources begin to run out. Each job lost now will probably mean putting not 2.5 out on the street, but more like 5 or 6.

We are far closer to a tipping point than most realize: when it comes, people will be shocked at the suddenness and depth, but they shouldn't be...the signs are plain for those willing to read them.

A lot lost the homes they owned for missing a few payments, this would not prevent them from renting another home or mean they don't have enough money to do so now.

Look at the benches throughout your city...have they changed? As for where the homeless went, I have no idea.

I still see the same regulars on the streets. The shelters are overflowing. Many live in motels. I've seen entire, obviously middle class families sleeping in their cars in Wal-Mart parking lots where its allowed. Campers are popular. Squatting in empty homes and vacation homes.
Most seem to be combining households with others.

It's hard to house or miss seeing 27mill people, that's about 7 mill more than the whole australian population. That's a LOT of people!!
