Education?..limited skills makes difference regarding salary ranges but is not a barrier to housing. There are plenty of low income jobs and higher paying labor jobs....but it likely will take some networking to get a room or an apartment. Think illegal immigrant...they are here but not on the street. Why?,,,because they find a buddy to share expenses with. Americans not so much interested in the buddy plan vs street life and free stuff. They can have housing if they want to buddy up but seem to not opt for that choice. Works for the illegals who dont even speak the language but not for US born. Go figure!   Excuse lack of punctuation...my keyboard wont coooerate.
