Here’s the lowdown on the general concept of a place in between. If you don’t know me, my name is Nycole, i’m a month away from 39 and I’ve been homeless since 2018 when I handled heartbreak with alcohol and became an alcoholic I’ve moved back into my parents was kicked out moved into a friend’s house kicked out moved into a shelter couldn’t stand It got robbed and somehow, even in my drunken state ended up with eight kids that weren’t mine to feed. On a regular basis because their parents believe it or not or more messed up than me end up at another friend’s house that didn’t work started to get my crap together a little bit only for my parents after 31 years to get a divorce moved back in with them to try to keep the peace between the two of them, but I was too drunk to no left from right and even more was falling apart in an attempt to make things better for my mom, we moved to South Carolina definitely didn’t go as planned. I fell deeper into addiction depression and self sabotage came back to New Hampshire stayed with my dad and his new wife Sandra and at the time I was still really sick full of anger and blew it there too ended up at another friend’s house that didn’t work out, but this is where this concept would’ve came in to play for me. I literally had nothing left. I destroyed every relationship I ever had.had no money. No car no job no hope who wants to hire a homeless alcoholic no one except for slumlord motel owners because then they own you I was paying $425 a week for a room that was absolutely deplorable and only making $15 an hour and wasn’t allowed to get over 35 hours. But managed to make it work for a year because I was trying to prove I was getting better but being trapped at the motel you work that’s full of addicts and alcoholics. Makes it a little difficult to get better then I finally got a management job and decided to live out of a U-Haul because at least then I could be mobile, but that proved to be just as expensive as the hotel room then my ex-husband was kind enough to give me his car for free, but it needed work before it would run properly. Is the middle of June 2024 and a “ friend“ offered me to stay for 800 a month but I couldn’t make the room my own and little did I know I was now his emergency contact for everything in life his maid his babysitter and even ended up landscaping for free eventually things caught up I couldn’t keep paying and doing all the things I was doing. I was getting used when I put my foot down all hell broke loose and again out I go  at this point I just made my car really comfortable and it was me in the car from October 24 to April 25. This is where my idea came in to play doing. Uber eats for extra money was extremely difficult with all my personal belongings in my backseat so I got myself a little 5 x 5 unit simply so I could just take my bed and maybe my clothes organize them on a shelf and have a little more space and it was great. I did that for a month until I found me a 5 x 20 unit and it was right next to an outlet so I upgraded and I made me a little home inside that unit and the rent is so cheap. I was finally finding my feet. Of course this is not allowed and me talking about it publicly now shows they caught me but mind you I’ve been doing this for five months. I built a routine for myself. I put up walls. I had an AC had a portable toilet the only downfall was I couldn’t be there from 9 AM to 7 PM while they were in the office. It was a struggle, but I honestly loved it for the first time. I knew exactly where I was going to sleep every night for the most part I was never bothered a place in between is a concept of unit style rooms they are nothing fancy, but they are safe. They are dry and they are temperature controlled. There will be requirements in order to utilize a place in between and I will be the one running it sometimes all you need is a place to catch your breath without others influences at the end of the day people helping me cost me more than figuring it out alone and once you see a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, the urge to drink goes away for me and talking with others it would for them too, but it’s cheaper to buy a fith of vodka then it is a decent meal so when you’re struggling, you’re gonna go to whats cheap  so you can forget about how cold it is and just sleep. It’s an awful hamster wheel and this is my plan to help people get off of it. The stigma of homeless people amazes me we’re all deemed attics alcoholics junkies but as a homeless person at one point, I was paying $2000 a month for a sh*tty ass hotel room as a homeless person when I had to get rid of my car, cause it was dying I’m now paying $437 a week for a rental and guess what I’ve had it since May same one not all homeless are the same some just need to catch a break. This is not section 8. This is not a shelter. This is not government help This is a place for individuals who are willing to put in the work change their lives. It’s only for singles no couples no kids if you’re in a relationship there’s no reason you’re homeless unless you have an addiction problem I promise you that and if you have kids, there’s plenty of state stuff that will help you This is for people that don’t qualify for stuff because we make two dollars too much a month for state help but we make two dollar’s less to  qualify for an apartment or car loan…
