Yep, because if you have no home to shower in, you can sure find another way to clean up and look presentable for a job interview. Easy.

If you have nowhere to feel safe at night, you can find another way to get a good night's sleep and be able to focus.

If you have to spend a good chunk of your day scraping together enough to survive another day you can just generate a few extra hours to go job hunting.

If you can't afford nice clothes, you can just what...steal some to wear to an interview?

If you don't have a phone, you can just figure out a way for prospective employers to contact you.

If people turn up their nose at the very sight of you, it's HARD TO GET A JOB. Chat with some homeless folks sometime, talk to them about their job-hunting endeavours. It's like climbing an avalanche, and while some people manage to do it, some are never going to manage it and for some people it will take years of effort.

People always go on abot how "mommyhood" is a full-time job, but most people don't seem to realize that when you have nothing, SURVIVING is a much more challenging full-time job.
