[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 739808, member: 23349"] Oh my goodness Jabberwockey what a treasure trove of sources! I'll have to spend some time with this. Thank you so much! So far, finding a stable living situation has proven to be much more problematic than finding jobs. He seems to always be able to get a job - he has a talent for talking his way into about anything. Now keeping them is another story! Though the two are definitely interrelated - he would have an easier time keeping a steady job if he can find stable housing near transportation or within walking/biking distance. I am hopeful that this time on the streets has put an end to just quitting jobs for no reason. He seems motivated. We'll see. Actually, he told me he worked a couple shifts last weekend setting up rigging and what not for a couple concerts and was told he could come back this weekend if he wants to do it again. Maybe that will become a regular thing. And low-end restaurant jobs he seems to be able to walk into at a moments notice. Though he hates restaurant work - he has some congenital hearing loss and a slight tremor (from childhood, not drug related) that make him really uncomfortable trying to interact with customers front of house. But he's done it and is willing to do it again to get a roof over his head. He told me last night that he's looking at a room from Craigslist today. It's close to both restaurant work and this concert venue. Crossing my fingers. [/QUOTE]
