A short version story:

This moment in my life has been brewing up for a while now and I am finally at a place where its above me now and all I can do is ask for support from my immediate community and beyond.

August 1st is when my houslessness began. I stayed on a friends couch for a day and then used most of the last of my funds from my previous job to book an airbnb for 14 days.

On August 15th, I transitioned again. I stayed on a friend of mines couch until August 31st. We then pitched in on an airbnb together. On September 2nd a rat popped up at the airbnb, my friend communicated with the people that the place was inhabitable. Instead of caring for the pest problem the airbnb host decided to kick us both out of the unit. The airbnb customer service suggested literal camping sites for us to sleep at. While trying to configure support and help and places to go, the situation somehow escalated to the point where the host called the police to have us escorted out of the building. The police came to the window while I was in the process of getting dressed. I have had an emotional breakdown since leaving the space, my body and nervous system is in shock and tired. I am sleeping at a friends office and hoping for support to hold me over in the mean time until I find longterm housing.
