How to get homeless 28 year old into a shelter
She is spending nights on couches at friends and relatives houses. Her boyfriend beat her up and is in jail. She is extremely depressed and unemployed. Who can help this Hackettstown woman?

HTownAceDASACC has a shelter. Call them. They are very helpful. They will also provide counseling for her.
Breathe.. Cant the police direct her to a shelter ?
And her relatives will not step up ? How sad .

htownguy 3wbdwnj, It is so sad but, no, there cannot. I've been an HL reader and very occasional poster for many years, probably from almost the beginning of HL, and have seen those types of posts get worse over time. I am glad the moderator no longer allows certain subjects to be posted. It has cut down quite a bit on nastiness, angry and judgemental types of posts. Thank you moderator.

AJMS Keri,
Warren County Family Promise may also be able to provide resources for her. Does she have any children?
keanstudent My question...why is she 28 and unemployed?! If she is homeless, she should be taking a job ANYWHERE!
The people who have nothing but negative comments to share, I hope you find peace. You don't write mean spirited stuff online if you are happy and secure with yourself.
If you have nothing helpful to say, maybe sit on your reply and be honest with yourself about why you are posting.
HTownAce - This is an online forum. People are supposed to give their opinions. In the real world, opinions are not always puppy dogs and rainbows.
DancerLife - Maybe the abusive BF wouldn't let her out of his sight to go to work. There could be several other reasons as well. We don't have enough information at this point in time.
You can also direct her to the Temporary Assistance and Social Services on Rt 519 in Belvidere. She needs to see someone to apply for General Assistance and Food Stamps and also Social Services as she is homeless. If she has children she would apply for TANF . Can also put her in touch with DASACC and counseling.
Dee No we don't, but it's a valid question for sure. Almost like - why post anything when you haven't given all the fact?!
I don’t think the Original Poster’s intent was to divulge the finer details of the lady’s life so the Keyboard Kowboys on here could judge. It was to find resources to get her help. Privacy laws (or at least courtesy), people!
YeahRight Looks like some posters on here have given some good advise and ideas. Hope all turns out well.
dodgebaal I agree with Dancerlife. Why post on a public forum. She's been staying with friends/relatives and none of them could help her more or direct her to where to go? Seems to have people in her life. It sounds to me that she's looking for handouts and pity. While I don't know her whole situation, 28 and unemployed? McDonalds is hiring as well as other places in the surrounding area. Or part of the entitled millennial generation that does not want to help herself or can't because an emotional wreck?
It will at least be satisfying when the apocalypse hits and neighborhoodwatcher doesn't get any help from their neighbors, since they are clearly not an entitled millennial.

I think all people who post on a site specifically telling others they should or should not post on a site should review their site postings to see that what they post on a site is appropriate compared to what they are telling others is appropriate to post on a site, via their postings.
Post that where you post it.
Post my muse, I think I am going postal.
