homelessness and the LTCF

[Yachera]

Does becoming homeless void your LTCF because you don't have an address?

That's a good question. I do remember a thread wherein someone tried to omit his place of employment, and that caused a big stink at the Sheriff Office.

I think since most licensing centers feel like they can make up their own rules (references and where they live, the local police check card), I'd wager that they would give you a hard time for not having an address.

Or, an address could be required, since it says on mine that I must notify the office when I move.

No. The process for revocation is spelled out in the UFA, and a change of address is not functionally the same.

However, it would probably be impossible to obtain the license without an address. And if you have an license and then become homeless, and the LTCF is revoked for some other reason, the issuing authority would send the required notice of revocation to your old address, and you would probably not receive it. So your piece of paper would not be valid after revocation, even if you never received actual notice.

Out of curiosity, since "lack of a permanent address" is not a grounds for denying an LTCF, if someone applied and listed their address as "under the 9th st bridge", or something like that. Wouldn't they have a fairly good basis for challenging any refusal to issue them a license (assuming they could get a lawyer)?

I have had surprisingly few homeless people hire me.

I'm thinking the actual question here is if you had your LTCF and became homeless can you still renew, re-read bolded.

A place of employment should not be required to acquire your LTCF, that is just a local sheriff being a prick. What if you have found yourself unemployed in this crap-shoot economy, does that make you unfit to have a LTCF because you can not supply them with an employers info?

I always wondered how things like that worked if you lived in an RV and were a nomadic retiree.

How do these nomadic retirees get their pension checks, Social Security checks, stock dividends, or responses to their endless Letters to the Editor regarding "kids these days"?

They at least have a PO box, if not a more substantial point of contact.

And don't forget about their AARP newsletters.

I imagine that it's not dissimilar to obtaining a driver's license. Now, I don't have any answers on how that works, but I did find these couple links:

It would really suck to be homeless.

Can I put a PO box as address on my LTCF application?
