I'm specifically hoping to find listings at $400. I have found two cities with listings at about $500 or a bit less. I have done internet searches trying to find places at $400 or less and things that look at first blush like they meet the criteria often turn out to actually be something else entirely, like an RV park.
Most places do not have apartments at $500 per month. I am willing to talk about how to find a roommate situation in that price range, but most homeless people have special needs, whether medical or mental health, that make them unsuited to a roommate situation or a roommate situation unsuitable for them.
I am interested in specific names of cities, websites with good search parameters for finding such and other general advice on how to get it that low. I've done a lot of searching and listings that are substantially below $500 are pretty rare in my experience.
I'm happy to be proven wrong. I would like to do a write up on one of my blogs for where you can find truly cheap housing if you have portable income.
Thanks to folks who have already replied. Feel free to shoot me an email with such info to avoid cluttering up this discussion too much.
I've rented housing in Nicholson, MS for around $200/mo. I worked at John C. Stennis Space Center, MS (a 200 square mile federal city with a huge buffer zone, nearest town is Nicholson, MS). You can find such these listings in local papers, but I don't think much of it is online.
It was not the best housing, but a 2 bedroom duplex (only 1 half of the duplex was included, that half had 2 bedrooms, I don't know how many bedrooms were in the other half). Trash, electricity, and water were not included in this price.
