Source: me<p>When someone first become homeless, the first few days are absolutely the roughest part, everything in your whole life basically changes for the worse and you have to rethink every logistical element of your day-to-day routine.<p>OP says that this is the first time something like this has happened, so I&#x27;m assuming he lost his job or something like that. Times are freakin&#x27; tough.<p>Luckily Germany does appear to have some social services. I think OP should look into them, and obtain a case worker or someone similar who can advise him. I wonder also if his landlord can evict him with a 0-hour notice in the event that he doesn&#x27;t pay. Perhaps he could get some $ from social services and pay it late this month and figure something out for next month?<p>OP, whatever you do, don&#x27;t get homeless. It is worth every bit of effort and inconvenience right now to not have to be homeless later. If that means sleeping at a friend&#x27;s house, parents house, in a friends dorm on the floor, literally anything BUT homeless.<p>On top of that, soup kitchens and food banks should be prevalent, but perhaps churches and such might help also?<p>You can do it, mate. I don&#x27;t know if you&#x27;ll even read this but I&#x27;ve been homeless since October 2015, and it&#x27;s been a whirlwind. Been all across the US, currently in NYC about to become a stockbroker and make some $$$, but it&#x27;s taken since October to do it. When you are homeless, everything is 10x harder. The shelter I&#x27;m at has a curfew, designated meal times, and no way to receive mail. With no income, my phone was turned off. Imagine how difficult it is to schedule interviews with these bankers with no phone number, no house, and I&#x27;ve gotta find a place to hop the turnstile and catch the subway every day and get back before 10pm. It&#x27;s a real challenge every single day. On top of that, people judge you. Most people don&#x27;t really give a shit about the plight of the homeless. I&#x27;ll even admit that before I experienced it firsthand, I really didn&#x27;t either. But it&#x27;s not easy to just &#x27;get a job&#x27; and fix all of this. At least in the US, anyways.<p>Please do everything you can to avoid homelessness. It&#x27;s in your best interests. It&#x27;s a slippery slope, and a lot of people never make it back up.<p>Best of luck, mate
