Wow this has got to be one of the craziest post I've ever seen regarding a homeless individual, usually it's them juggling between a roof over their head or if the roof is pet friendly. So I see you got a job and into a decent shelter which is great, finding a room shouldn't be hard once you stack up money but finding and affordable apartment that might be a challenge.

Out of curiosity what brings you from CA to RI?

I'm actually trying to do the opposite and move back to CA
