Where can the homeless find resources for housing and a vehicle?

I have been homeless for most of the last 5 years. I just currently found full time employment. It's not enough to pay for a place to live, but it's a new start. Is there any services and funds to help with housing? Is there any resources available for help with a vehicle? Thank you?

Chris, try your local Veterans associations, VFW, DAV, and ask around. If you belong to a given faith that is a way to find stuff as well. You may also try to see if their is some sort of aid from your city/county/state. If your county has a Veterans Service Office, they may help you as well.

It depends very much on where you are living. Stop by you local VA center if you have one. Even if they can't help you, they can probably hook you up with someone who can.
Homeless veterans is a big deal in a lot of areas, and many different agencies will bend over backwards to assist. But, again, it all depends on where you are living.
