I moved out to Nevada to start my transition and two fellow trans women offered to let me stay with them, but the one I went with I can't stand. The other person I have met and connect with well, but she won't have her new place until about the first of February and I need a place to temporarily stay until then.

I don't care if I have to venture over to California to couch surf for a brief time, but it feels like I have few options due to finances and none of them feel good.

1) Return to Virginia (Would cripple my ability to transition again)
2)Sleep in my car.. again
3)Find a place to crash until that other person gets her own place, thus allowing me to move in with her.

I'm not looking to impose on anyone, and wouldn't ask if I wasn't so desperate.

Any other advice is fully welcome, but I'd be very appreciative of any assistance anyone can provide (Not looking for handouts, just a floor or couch to sleep on for a short time).
 
Have you tried a homeless shelter? Not great but since it's just a temporary situation it might be bearable.
 
You look really pretty in that updated picture.

Since it's temporary, maybe stay with the one you can't stand. Try to stay out of her way until you are able to move out. It's only a month away. No point in moving back to Virginia if your other friend will have her place soon.
 
Salvation Army might help too...Believe the Homeless Shelters have a waiting list...Churches help at times also...(just saying)...
 
Saavik, what about this?
The Center - Home - The Center
<GBTLQ Center in Southern Nevada - their site also lists a cafe and has a resource list that specifies trans folks>


this place - Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth - has an article here specifying GLBTQ: Gay teens swell ranks of Clark County's homeless youth | Las Vegas Review-Journal
This is the link to the actual organization: Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth

I realize I don't know your age but I still thought there might be something useful there for you...

:hug:
 
Looks like I'll have to move into my car again and hope the other person gets their place soon. I might drive out to California (SoCal) and park off the coast somewhere for a bit. This roommate is extremely overbearing and I feel I'm drowning in that all the time.

Just be careful while sleeping in your car , there are lot of crazy people around and California has it fair share of them. Or you could end up really being drowning.
 
I knew a woman that was hitchhiking rides in California and a guy picked her up and wanted to bring the woman to the beach and the woman said she did
not want to go. The woman found out later on there was a rapist that was picking up women and bringing them to the beach and raping them then killing the woman and throwing the body in the ocean. We never know if that guy was the rapist or not but it sure was a :shock: to the woman.

I'd be inside my car sleeping and I have a bayonet with me and I've had extensive training with them, so I'm good. I wish I knew someone roughly ihn the area so I could just park in their driveway and sleep or even couch surf, but I'd be satisfied with parking on someone's property.

Have you tried going to church and see if they'll you will let park on their lot or if they know of any place you can stay?

To be honest, no, church is the very last thing that would cross my mind, since I'm an atheist. :hmm:
 
Excellent advice, I done that when I was homeless. These church people were friendly to me and it has NOTHING to do with my religious. I do not believe their religious but at least I have a place to park and sleep.

I'm going to try asking at the trans meeting on Friday, if nothing comes out of that, I'll try churches.
 
wish I can help out but I don't have any contact in Nevada
 
How about offering a bit more for rent for January if the roommate would move out by then.

I'm sure that there are places that would let you rent on a weekly basis if you tried Craigslist.

Just my 2 cent.
