A WOMAN has found herself in a major catch-22 after being suddenly evicted by sheriffs “out of the blue.”
Joni lived in Manchester, New Hampshire until she was unexpectedly kicked out of her home overnight.


She told a local Fox affiliate that at the place she was living before, she paid rent for a few months but the woman she gave the rent to made off with her money.
“Out of the blue, I just got evicted,” she said. “We’re sitting there one day and the sheriff’s came and…to get out.”
She gave harrowing insight into the reality of homelessness while trying to break the stigma around those experiencing it.
“It’s not that I’m a drug addict, it’s not that drugs made me fall off and be this way,” she said.
“It’s basically, trusting people is how I got in this situation.
“It’s a whole different life, it’s a whole different world,” she told the outlet.
In an effort to change her situation, Joni has worked hard to get a job but unfortunately encountered a paradox many in her shoes face.
“It’s a catch-22,” Joni said. “You have to have a job to get a home and you have to have a home to get a job.”

Joni said she’s always looking for a way out of her situation, even with the stacks held against her.
“It’s always a challenge, it’s always something everyday that I think or try to find one thing that I can do better than I did yesterday to try to get myself out of this situation.”
The worst part, according to Joni, is how people treat her as being less than human.
She shared some of the horrific treatment she’s received such as people throwing pennies at her, splashing her in the rain with their cars, and throwing trash on the floor in front of her.
“People are stereotyping and that’s the worst part,” she said.
“The way people talk to you, the way people treat you, the way they look at you.”
She asks for other to extend compassion, to treat others with respect and not look at them as if they’re a piece of garbage.
“I think there’s a lot more people around this state, this city, that are probably a paycheck away from being where I am,” she said.
According to the NH Coalition to End Homelessness, 25 percent of the state’s homeless population don’t live in shelters.
“The chronically homeless are often the most resistant to life sustaining services such as emergency shelter, mental, and physical healthcare, and substance abuse treatment,” read an annual report from the group in 2021.
