My older bro (53) has fallen on hard times like many in this country. Lost his low-level security job in July and hasn't gotten a job bite despite massive online applications and networking. Got turned down for unemployment (both initially and after an appeal), has been able to sell things to cover his bills till now, but that's run out and he now faces losing his apartment.
No family members are in the position to help financially or provide a roof. At the end of Nov he will be out of options. I suggested Welfare but he keeps delaying it, anticipating an employment breakthru that I just don't seen on the horizon. Just too many people are in the same boat in this city. Plus he's an introvert and has no real network of friends that could offer assistance.
I don't know what else he can do, and thought perhaps others that have gone thru this may have ideas. How long does Welfare take to get going? It may be his only option.
