Change your strategy

There are people that choose to be homeless but there are countries where you have the right not to be homeless. In the country I live in (in central Europe) you can literally go to a facility that will give you a place to sleep and some food.

Also, to become homeless as a person that once worked is not that easy, you would have to deny multiple job offers (the state will go job hunting for you and present you with a few options). During that time you would still get unemployment money.

I currently live in Australia where with a 2 year trade cert your minimum wage goes up from $16 to $28, and I receive a fortnightly payment from the government that has just gone up to $917 with rent assistance while I'm looking for work, my only obligations are regular meetings with an employment services provider and recorded proof that I'm applying for 20 appropriate jobs a month. For comparison a full time job here can be expected to pay a minimum of about 52k a year.

While unemployed I also receive concession on public health services, discounts for pharmaceuticals, and various other social services.

Once I start work I can continue claiming payments up to the value of $1000 to assist with transitional costs, as well as being provided a stipend for new uniforms or equipment costs.

In some countries *cough* post-Soviet *cough* being pro-social is conservative. Sadly, most of those countries got their Putin.

Just ask them why they're speaking German when America is why they don't have to speak German.

It ain’t much, but servicing fax machines is honest work…

WHAT? This is so random? Pinkie Pie, is that you?

More temporary rather than low paying, we get decent wages here. Effectively the same problem though.
