I was homeless for a bit in my teens. My spouse (MI issues) left us for the nearby homeless community about 2018 and went in/out of homelessness until 2023.

My 5 kids and I were facing homelessness in 2021 when our long time rental was sold and nothing was available. Each listing had 400 new applicants per day. We managed to beat the long odds tho.

Since then we've been safe (which took a while to get used to).
