What if there is nowhere to live? Unfortunately, anyone can be on the street. No one is immune from financial difficulties, collectors who collect debts and take away apartments, family troubles, natural disasters or catastrophes, household negligence, which causes a fire. As a result, a person finds himself without a roof over his head, and what is also without money, which can provide a more or less tolerable existence. What if there is no place to live and no money? Consider several different situations and ways out of this situation.
Help from acquaintances and relatives in a difficult situation
Anything can happen in life. Tenants of the living space, even with an official agreement, are often not immune from the fact that the landlord may ask you to pack their things and not give time to find a new apartment, anyone can lose their own housing due to a fire or natural disaster, and how many deceived equity holders in Russia? Families break up and nonresident mothers with children have nowhere else to live, apartments are taken for debts, and real estate prices take away the last hope for the purchase of their own housing. There are many situations and they are all sad.
What if there is no place to live? Of course, first of all, you need to contact relatives or friends. In a difficult situation, people are ready to shelter relatives and friends, often even for free or for basic help with the housework. Elderly grandparents are ready to share their living space even with strangers in return for a pleasant company, house help and minimal care. It may turn out that even colleagues with whom communication did not work out are kind people who will be taken over for some time in case of difficulties.
Therefore, if there is nowhere to live, it is worth asking whether friends or family can shelter for a while. It is unlikely that a person in a difficult situation will be refused, unless there are really good reasons. Of course, we are not talking here about the banal desire to live separately from the mother, with whom the matured child is constantly quarreling, or from the old grandmother, who "got" nit-picking. People are ready to help, but to those who really need it.
Rent a dorm or shared room
What if there is no place to live? For the first time, you can rent a small room, get hooked up with some grandmother (they often rent part of the apartment for at least some extra income for retirement and just company) or go to a hostel. When deciding to rent an apartment or a room with the hostess, you need to be prepared for the fact that much will be prohibited: guests, loud music and smoking at least. In most cases, tenants are called at the table, so without a meal a person who is in a difficult situation is unlikely to remain.
Many retirees are willing to share housing with someone else for free. Often in these cases, the tenant pays only the communal apartment and part of the products. True, caring for an elderly person is not always easy and pleasant; you need to adapt to the pensioner's regime and his well-being. The problem with the elderly owners is also that they, due to memory problems, may begin to suspect the tenant of theft, for example, so that quarrels and conflicts are unlikely to be avoided.
In a more or less decent hostel in Moscow you can settle for 200 rubles per day if paid immediately for a month, the cost will be 500 rubles per day. The rooms have several beds (four, six or eight), a locker, a coat rack, a TV, there are toilet and shower. Another option is to rent a bed in an apartment.It will cost less than a whole room, but there is an option that you have to huddle in odnushka with the owner or a potentially dangerous person. However, this is better than spending the night at a train station or on a bench in a park.
Difficulties in the life of a young family: where to go?
What if there is no place to live in a young family? Parents usually help newlyweds, so if young people do not have their own housing, they can live with them, especially if they already have children, they will be happy to see their grandchildren. Of course, everyone dreams of their own apartment, but first you need to get a job and get on your feet. Only then you can think about a mortgage.
Family have nowhere to live? What to do if there are no relatives and friends? In this case, you will have to go to city shelters (many help young mothers and pregnant women), rent a room in a dormitory or in an apartment with a hostess. Spouses, if they do not yet have children, will be able to work, otherwise all care for the material side falls on the shoulders of the newly made father of the family.
State assistance in purchasing housing
State policy is aimed at helping young and large families in the acquisition or construction of their own housing. The problem of providing housing is relevant for 72.7% of youth, so the state is constantly developing and implementing assistance programs. If spouses are younger than 35 years old and need to improve their living conditions, have children and have a regular income, then the state can provide a subsidy (30%) when buying an apartment or lending on concessional terms. Similar conditions apply to large families. This is a great opportunity to get your own housing if you have nowhere to live in Moscow. What to do? Collect documents and apply for help. The option is suitable only for those who have a constant source of income.
Shelters for pregnant women and single mothers
Most children who are in orphanages and boarding schools have parents. The problem of relations between a young mother who has serious difficulties in life and the child is actively trying to solve by volunteers who create centers where a woman can not be separated from her child. In such centers, women are taught to cook, take care of the baby, understand it, children with diagnoses are taken to hospitals and sent to operations. Such centers exist only through voluntary donations.
What to do: nowhere to live with a child? A pregnant woman or mother with a baby can contact one of the social centers. They help women who are addicted to alcohol or drugs, but want to start a new life, have suffered from domestic violence, have grown up in an orphanage or boarding school, have left prison or simply got into a hopeless life situation, from which relatives, for example, have turned away.
How can a woman help in a shelter?
Women are taught to be good mothers, help them adapt in society so that they can find work and adequately raise a child. As a rule, in private centers for guests a clear regime of the day and an adaptation program are developed. Women are visited by a priest, psychologist and pedagogue, and they are allowed to call up relatives only on weekends. Girls can work in shifts so that someone has time to look after the children.
Residents are provided with social support. Employees of the centers help to recover documents, deal with debts, wills and alimony, receive social assistance from the state, get a job. Nowhere to live and no money? What to do if the child is also in her arms, and the woman suffered from domestic violence or her relatives turned away from her? In this case, they will certainly help in centers for single mothers, already held and future.
Shelters for people in difficult situations
What if there is no place to live in St. Petersburg or Moscow, as well as in other major Russian cities? It is possible to turn to special shelters that provide temporary housing for the period of solving social problems. In the care of volunteers are often those whose houses were burned down, who were discharged from the hospital, but it turned out that there was nowhere to go, former prisoners and so on. Those who find themselves in a difficult situation are assisted in restoring documents, finding employment, guests are given three meals a day, there is a roof over their heads and first aid is provided. People are given the opportunity to work if they abide by the rules of residence.
Night stay houses in Moscow and St. Petersburg
What if there is no place to live? In Moscow and St. Petersburg, people without a fixed place of residence can seek help in lodging houses. You can spend the night there for free, and frequent visitors will tell you the addresses of cheap or even free charity canteens. Such night-stay houses live by their own laws, for example, you need to come to some of them no later than eight o’clock in the evening. There are several centers of social adaptation in Moscow: near the metro stations "Bratislavskaya", "Teply Stan", "South-West". There you can at least spend the night if you have nowhere to go at all.
Cheap hostels for temporary accommodation
Burnt house and nowhere to live? What to do in this difficult situation? For the first time, if there are no relatives and acquaintances who could take in, you can find a place in a cheap hostel. The cost starts from 600 rubles per night. The conditions there are much better than in state shelters and lodging houses, usually there is Internet, hot water and a kitchen.
Monastic life for men and women
Some decide to go to the monastery, but this desire should come from the heart and be completely sincere. If a person comes for a while to understand his life and draw closer to God, he is called a worker, and those who have the intention of staying forever become novices. In monasteries, people do some work for shelter and food.
A woman who wants to become a nun must pray for several hours every day, have no bad habits, go out of the church only on monastery matters, spend her holidays in holy places, take meager meals, do physical labor and adhere strictly to vows. Rules of conduct for men are not very different from those listed above.
Going to the monastery is a very important decision, so it’s better to think a few times and, possibly, consider other ways to overcome difficulties in life.
Employment for persons without a residence
Nowhere to live with a child ... What to do? A woman can help with a roof over her head and food in a special center or shelter, but a single mother will still have to get a job in order to return to normal life over time. Employment is an important step for any person without a specific residence. But it’s very difficult for homeless people to get somewhere (and even more so officially) without registration.
You can get a homeless job as a janitor, a loader, a painter, a plasterer, it would be nice to find a job, where they also give housing for workers. Direction can be taken at the Employment Center, especially if you enlist the support of the help center employees. But even with this direction, employers are in no hurry to hire homeless people. More often public works under the contract are offered - this is also an opportunity to earn extra money.
Assistance to persons who have lost their homes
After a fire or natural disaster, a large family has nowhere to live? What to do in such a situation? If housing has become unsuitable for life as a result of an emergency, the state will indemnify for the damage. These people are issued housing certificates and support is provided in rebuilding (if possible) or in buying new housing. Compensation may be refused if the lost housing was not the only property of the victims.
The validity of the housing certificate is one year from the date of issue. During this period, victims should contact the authorized body to provide them with other living quarters. After the calendar year, the certificate is considered invalid, if there are errors in design or the document is damaged, a duplicate with the same validity period is issued. In case of death of the owner, the validity of the certificate is not extended.
