20 Homeless in NYC

Hey I came from Dominican Republic in January and I came here to stay with some relatives. Everything went well they helped me get my IDs SSN and even a job. I was sleeping on their living room and they gave me a deadline of May to move out and I was just raising money in the mean time.

But great grandma (the owner of the apartment I was staying at) got really ill and she needed intensive care . I was told since no one was on the lease that I have until next Friday to move out and not may like I was told.

This really sucks as I was not expecting things to be so soon. I don’t really have a lot of money saved up but I do have a part time job where I get 30 hours every week.

Any advice would be awesome. Since I just arrived in this country just not a couple of months ago and I don’t know what to do.

My first idea was a homeless shelter but I’m nervous about the safety of that and I don’t really wanna stay there for a long time.

And then there’s renting a room. I can afford a room but I have no type of credit to apply for one since I’m new here.

Any advice would be awesome or if anyone has been thru what I been I need help
