Womens shelter?

Question

My friend is in need of a place to stay. She lives in another state than me. Are there any places nationwide that will help you with a place to stay and help you find a job? She has no money or job and basically all she has are the clothes on her back. Her boyfriend was supporting her and they just split. She also has a 4 year old daughter. Any suggestions on how I can help her? I'm not really looking for a "homeless shelter" But she is in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. Any help is much appreciated. I am trying to do research for her since she doesnt have computer access. Thank you.

Answer 1

you said she is willing to move... milwaukee is known for helping out of towners more than the citizens of the city they will help her find a nice affordable housing...chicago has a lot of shelters as well but when she is able to move out of the shelters the living in chicago can be quite expensive

Answer 2

The YWCA is a low-cost place.  They welcome people who are on the verge of homelessness, and while living at the YWCA she could have an address that will allow her to find a job.  Businesses generally don't hire homeless people.  It's a clean place with rooms, showers, gym, day care maybe.
