1. Mailing Address for the Homeless
If you don’t have a permanent address but need to receive mail (e.g., for government benefits, job applications, or legal matters), here are some options:
A. General Delivery (USPS)
You can receive mail at a local post office using:
-
Your Name
-
General Delivery
-
City, State, ZIP
Call the local post office first to confirm they offer General Delivery. Bring a photo ID to pick up your mail.
B. Homeless Outreach Centers / Shelters
Many shelters and non-profits let you use their address for mail. Examples include:
-
Salvation Army
-
Catholic Charities
-
Local shelters (e.g., Father Joe’s Villages in San Diego)
