I personally can't fathom living in a cardboard box. I'd go up north to remote woods. Find a place of public land and "squat". Hunt morning doves, squirrels, whatever I needed to survive. Living in the city is expensive and why stay there unless you are dependent on alcohol or drugs? I've seen to many able bodied individuals abusing the system.
My family has gone through hard times. It's hard work to drag yourself back on top but if you have the motivation you can and should do it. While we were down we used the services offered my our local church, food pantry, housing assistance, food stamps, etc. We don't still need those things because we worked hard enough to get back on our feet. With all the things out there to help people, if the people don't have serious psychological problems there is no reason they can't get their feet under them with a little extra effort. I've gone to people and mowed lawns for cash. You do what you have to.
