Okay so at age 16 (summer after junior year) my mom thought I was old enough to live on my own so basically she kicked me out. I ended up living with an uncle and his fiance for about 6 months while still attending High School after I was forced to began living on my own due to some other situations in which I was not able to live with any close relatives nor my mother who did not care of my state. I began staying at friends houses for a while , max time was a month and a half. Anyways my mom did open her heart a bit after i graduated HS and allowed me to move back with her which ultimately did not last for more than a month. Well for a birthday present my grandmother bought me a plane ticket to see my ill great grandmother in Mexico, I ended up staying in Mexico for about 9 months. I returned ended up staying at two aunts up north in Sacramento for less than a month, stayed with an aunt who lived by my college but lasted 2 months. I’m currently back with my mother but I do not know how long for due to her past recorded of booting me out and disowning me.
The ultimately question is do i qualify to answer 'Yes" to the homeless section and yes what would i spefically need since I did not actually live in a homeless shelter?
